Hi,
My understanding is that a lot of the material at the New England show does go
on sale the last afternoon of the show. It's simply not worth the hassle of
digging up, repotting, transporting, if instead they can get a few bucks for
it, etc. The Philadelphia show, of course, is much bigger than Boston's, and I
imagine anything particularly rare or valuable would not go on the block
cheap.
