I have not been to a swap meet in maybe 15 plus years or so. Went to Jefferson Wi. to the swap meet car show and was so confused, did I miss my turn an go to the local flea market ??. I saw more lawn tractors, motor cycles, snowmoblies, and just plain unrelated to the auto industry crap ! in at least 75 % of the venders. Someone was even selling lumber....

Quite possibly I am to partially to blame for this demise of what used to be a exciting day of treasure hunting. All of the NOS and REPOP parts i have purchased over the last two years for my 68 i have done in the comfort of my easy chair with a laptop. Hats off to the few diehards that still bring the treasures we all search for to the local swap sorry to say your days are numbered

I thought the people managing Jefferson were cracking down on what one brings to sell and asked you to leave if you did not have automotive parts to sell or maybe that's Iola?

There WAS a lot of junk there , thats for sure. Still there were quite a few treasures found and a lot of good parts and NOS. A friend of mine saw this on the far south end , what the heck ?

Jon,
Those are for the guy that doesn't want to go home alone. They're also good for HOV lanes if you can get them to sit down.

On a serious note, if you had to declare what the majority of your selling items are when you first check in to sell, the grounds could possibly be arranged for: real car parts, flea market crap, tools, toy cars, etc. Then if you're selling mostly toy cars in the real car parts area, they can boot you out of the meet. It would sure make it easier on the guys looking for parts.

Things have gotten pretty sad at swap meets. I agree with your observations,,lots of chrome Chinese junk and worthless items totally unrelated to vintage car offerings.
