I am selling my solid wooden show booth to the highest bidder. Bidding starts at $500. It was built by Mathias Ritzman: a German cabinet maker. Of course I paid thousands for it and I used it well for about 8 years doing 1 or 2 shows/year. I don't have great pictures but you're welcome to come see it: currently broken down and in a friends barn. This deal also comes with a Protector tent and canopy. This tent can construct as 10x10' or 10x15' or 10x20'. It can work as pipe and drape for indoor shows or with the cover for outdoor shows. It's in excellent condition.
