Swap meet - tell me about the deals
A few of us NoVA dudes were planning to go to swap meet but didn't. Then maybe regretted not going? Dunno. Tell me about the deals I missed. I think I saw in the Mac84 or another video the CDi? How much was the NES (though really only interested in random NES games.) Looked like quite a bit of variety from DEC Desksides to in the box Apple II stuff to TRS-80s and more? Should hopefully make it to the System Source swapmeet. - Ethan
Ethan, I couldn't tell you about the deals as I was at the gate most of the time and was only able to take quick looks on my way to/from the porta potty or getting food from the firetruck. I did hear during breakfast that one guy was overpriced, but most people were reasonable and had good stuff. Can anyone else fill it in? I *can* tell you that some were able to get great deals from Steve Anderson. Like Dmitry got a Turbo Grafx 16 with a bunch of games for a decent price. Someone got an Atari Stacy 4. Others got some great deals as well. If I was you, I would *always* plan on coming to the VCF swap meet. There always seems to be good deals. I suggest that you come to the next repair workshop July 8 & 9. We plan on making another trip to Steve's house the morning of July 9 after breakfast.

Steve was buying stuff from me! I was so busy that I didn’t even get to walk around. But I did walk across the way from my table and one guy who had a few tower computers wanted way too much money for something that was Rusty. Mike R.
