			==Merchants and Recreationists==
			There is some cross-over in merchants across the [[recreationist]] spectrum, although there are many that sell gear only appropriate to certain groups.

			===Merchants in the SCA===
	In the [[Known World]], merchants sell [[medieval]] or [[SCA]]-related items at some [[events]], such as [[Pennsic]] or [[Rowany Festival]]. Items on sale could be anything, such as [[garb]], [[filk]] cds, [[fabric]], [[wool]], [[armour]], [[trim]], [[leatherwork]], [[drinking horn]]s, [[tent]]s ([[period]] and [[non-period]]), [[weapons]] (SCA and [[metal weapon]]s), [[feasting gear]], [[food]], [[brew]]s...

			===Re-Enactment Merchants===
			Merchants (in Australia refered to as [[trade]]rs) in [[re-enactment]] are expected to display more [[authentic\|historically accurate]] wares than some others. To sell [[medjeeval]] gear (also known as ''wang'' in the [[UK]]) is considered poor form and such merchants are generally not invited back to markets for subsequent [[event]]s.
			[[Australia]]n [[event]]s tend to allow traders to set up for no fee so long as their wares are appropriate. Sometimes this allows traders who sell inappropriate materials to get away with it as the [[event]] organisers may be too polite to send them away.
