Good for you Steve!  We all know what happens when aftermarket orders get out of hand.  That's down the road to no good!

Russ, your other option is to come to NNL East.  Steve vends there.

Is it necessary to remind other model builders and collectors that many of the people who make and sell parts and kits at shows and by mail do so in their spare time? Few of us are full time vendors or manufacturers. Even those that are often get caught up in orders and life and cannot do what everyone wants, example Modelhaus. It becomes necessary to have some control over the business rather than the other way around. Steve does not live just for modellers, nor does anyone else. We all have lives outside the hobby, and it is still a hobby, right :) 

Not everyone can get to a show to buy in person and not every vendor can get to every show to sell. Somewhere in the middle is a compromise :) Steve has a chosen field of sales and it works for him. I have been selling in Ontario, Canada for a few years and have found what works best for me. I cannot please everyone. I only sell in Canada by agreement with my suppliers, not Australia or Europe or the U.S. I can live with that :) Remember, it is a fun hobby, don't take the fun out of it :)
