Yes.
After all people can choose to buy from an Amiga retailer or not. The same
opportunity to choose should apply where possible at shows.
Remember, we had stands at the Kickstart Show that were just selling generic
PC components at PC show prices (much cheaper that any Amiga dealer can
achieve given their overheads etc). That way people could save money on the
generic stuff, and instead pay premium price for Amiga-specific gear, or if
they felt that having support backup from an Amiga dealer was that
important, they still had the option to buy their hard drive (for example)
from an Amiga dealer on the day.
As it is everyone went home happy, as with the exception of Analogic (whose
show prices were almost as cheap on generic stuff), all the Amiga dealers
just concentrated on selling Amiga-specific hardware anyway.
