Re: So eBays a good judging ground huh?
Very well said.......
 I'm a die hard swap meet guy, both as a seller and buyer.The same theroy applies to both... "$hit or get off the pot".You only have to pay what you want to pay.It's how bad do you want it?Most of this stuff is worthless to the rest of the world anyway.......  Steve

Re: So eBays a good judging ground huh?
I've found that the people who complain that "the swap meets are all dried up" are the same people who show up at noon on Saturday at a swap meet that has already been going on for 3 days. The small swaps have ALWAYS been a crap shoot.. sometimes you find something good, sometimes you find nothing. Its been that way since long before ebay came along. The big swap meets still have alot of good stuff, you just gotta get there early, and walk as fast as you can. Sure the prices for parts are higher than they used to be, but so is everything else in this world. I use ebay as much as anyone, but some of the coolest things I've ever found has come from swap meets. Especially if I get there before Steve.

Re: So eBays a good judging ground huh?
Unless you are out there with a flashlight it is hard to find good buys these days. No part is worth me slogging around in the dark anymore...You young pups have at it. I'll sit in my armchair and bid...

Re: So eBays a good judging ground huh?
It's not so much the flashlight Charley...It's paying attention to everything.I've found out, most swap meet people are very lazy when it comes to shopping.If it aint't on a table.....forget it! They will never find it...I just bought a whole box of GM china...(plates dishes,ect) that was under a table at the end of the day....$10. The guy next to me was pi$$ed.....He was there first and missed it.Like the Dean said....."Fat drunk and stupid is no way to go thru life"....Same thing applies to swap meets..
