Swap Meet Question

ratdude747
A question on the swap meet that's part of the show: are there any "special" rules on what can and can't be sold? Just parts, or are used "duplicate" tools fair game too? Not trying to turn this into a full blown flea market, but while cleaning out my garage I've found a tool or two that's "old vehicle" specific I have unneeded duplicates of that I think could use a new home. FWIW, found some duplicate spare parts too!

At this point we don't have any rules.  Bring the tools on.

Sweet. Now I have to go through the stuff (junk?) and figure out what are items people would actually want!

Yup.  I've taken stuff for several years and haven't been able to give some of it away.  Like the Powermaster alternator in pieces.  But, this time I think I have someone crazy enough to take it - Scott.  (Don't tell him.  )

Only you don't have to haul it 11 hours .

Like the black nasty full size plastic truck box (front of bed tool box) I have sitting outside my garage in the junk pile... got it free off the side of country road long before I bought my 1984... Needs some TLC to make usable (rotted out tie rods, etc.), but being a plastic box (and not being big on truck boxes), I never got to fixing it and putting it on said truck (but I did consider it!). I thought it would make good outdoor storage... but is only used as an outdoor work surface. If I do bring it, it'll be a freebie as that's what I got it for and have only cleaned it up (and then dirtied it again with the rusty metal currently sitting on it!).

Would it be in good taste to have a "what I (think I) am bringing to the swap meet" and/or "what I'd like to find/buy at the swap meet" thread for those of us attending to sort out what's worth horsing over? I probably have enough junk... I mean "potentially valuable items" that are swap meet candidates to fill at least half my bed...

Yes, true that I don't have to haul it back very far.  

As for the thread, how's this: Swap Meet Items: What I'm Bringing & What I'm Looking For
