The Hershey show is NOT a factory show. The dealer owns the rigs after the show. The dealer get an incentive price on the rigs delivered to the show and in many cases free freight to the show. Many times a better deal can be had IF you buy the one that is at the show because of the wear and tear. In the 6 rigs we have bought we found you can deal better on an ordered unit rather than a stock one because of floor plan costs.

As a selling dealer at the Hershey Show, we do not get free freight on Show units. We have no say in what will be at the Show. Yes, it is true that the pieces not sold at the Show will become stock pieces.
That said, I can sell a unit off our lot for the same price as I can at the Show.
Good luck buying from non-local dealers at Hershey. You get the privilege of taking delivery from a hotel parking lot nearby....
