Hello! It was indeed well organized. The first item I bought was a board containing an astonishing 1 Megabyte of Magnetic Bubble Memory. (One item rescued from the barbarian hordes known as the scrappers.). the next two were assorted networking items, actually three. Now to find a good application for the Power-Line networking devices, and hope my apartment is properly wired! Mike did you see a chap wandering about wearing a dark hoodie and a green cap and wearing a knapsack that might have been used for carrying stuff, and a Husky tool bag? That was me. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

I'm a lurker here, but stopped by the swap meet because it's 3 miles from my home. Picked up a few little things -- total expenditure a big $16! But maybe I'll have stuff to sell by next year.
The swap meet was very well organized. I appreciated how spread-out it was, as I'm not sure of my immunity to COVID-19 yet. (I actually had to leave the swap meet early to get my second shot today.)

I agree with Bob, it was a wonderful day, even though I came home sunburned.
I too found things that I didn’t think I needed but I was happy to pick up fairly cheaply.
I sold quite a few large and heavy items and a lot a little things also, so I am happy!
I did tell Jeff Brace that he did a great job organizing this and to everybody else who is involved the same.
Surprisingly there were a few Ham Radio guys actually selling ham radio equipment which was a nice addition! I would love for someone to poll them and find out how well they did.
Overall it was a very good day, I hope we can do it again in a couple of months.

Fyi I cannot make it to tomorrow’s workshop Need a day to recuperate.

I was only there for a few hours, but it was so nice seeing people in person again! I wasn’t a big buyer but did snag a couple things that I had not expected to find, and found homes for some items I brought with me, so I came home quite happy.
The weather was perfect, of course. There were enough vendors so the buyers could spend time looking for treasures, and I heard from multiple vendors that they were happy with their sales.
An excellent day, indeed!
Thanks to everyone who volunteered and worked so hard to make it a success!
Bob
