    Selling actual products at car shows?

    Does anyone here set up booths at car shows to sell products? I was just considering doing this as it would probably be pretty profitable, and it would also draw a lot of attention to some freshly detailed cars in order to gain detailing business. I'm not sure how hard it would be to buy...
