I had a chance to go to the Madison show for the first time this year, my sisters have been going for years. I always knew when they where at Madison. I would get many phone calls on do I want and is this too high of a price.
I was surprised at how big it has gotten and so were they. They had not been able to go last year. In past years I have been told it was a lot smaller at the outside vendors and bigger in the inside area. The idea of Madison is that there are vendors inside the show and outside. The outside area has grown. My sisters have always done both, this year we where only able to do the outside.
I did like the show. I was very happy with the doll and toy dealers. I only had one problem with a non Barbie dealer who thought the items she had where worth more than they were. I like to look for items from dealers that do not deal in dolls, the price can be good. While some charge to high, others want it gone so they deal.
When I am at shows I always looking for Barbie, Tammy, Tressy and Penny Brite. I was very happy with the amount of Barbie and Ken dealers. I deal with fashion dolls and toys. I was glad to see a wide variety of toys at the show from dolls to happy meals. If you want it you could find it. There were books, games, DVD, linen and dishes, and the real old antiques. There was a large variety of food vendors and tables to eat at.
Next years plan is for two days so we can make sure we do not miss anything. We will do the outside dealers one day and the inside the next.
