I'll be there Wednesday evening through Saturday, as a buyer and Oldgas.com promoter, no booth. Say "Hi!" if you see me wandering around in an Oldgas.com shirt. Always looking for auto body & paint, Buick, Skelly items and members of the Oldgas.com community. Hope to get some good pictures, maybe with some Shop Talk guys and gals in the picture! Iowa gas always has lots of quality stuff including a nice variety of gas pumps. Sounds like a good year to pick up an air meter. Be there! Ryan, The swap meet is only Thursday & Friday, not Saturday. Friday eve is the can auction and Sat is the auction for everything else. http://www.iowagas.com/ ------------------ Jim "Oldgas" PottsYour host and moderator

Im not able to get off work until friday at 12:00. I will just have to be happy with going to the two auctions this year. Hopefully I will still bump into a few of you there. I am hoping to pick up my first complete original globe at the auction.

I may sound like a "Broken Record" but these show promoters need to look into the long term benefits to our hobby with regard to holding a true Friday & Saturday or Saturday and Sunday show. How many collectors are currently having a tough time attending shows because of work? If you're retired, I guess it doesn't matter too much when the show is...Let's hear some thoughts...Thanks!

Gaspump Rob, is shutting down his repair shop for a week, and I'm taking the week off of work also.
NO work, NO pay.
Even if it was a Friday/Saturday swapmeet, I would still have to take a week off work to go. Even if you fly, you will lose 2 days work.
There is more to life, than WORK. I WORK to buy my toys, and support my wife.

I won't be going. I have to work. If I don't work I don't get paid. If I don't get paid I don't have any money to buy items from the show vendors. Put me down as being totally in favor of weekend shows. I've been to Iowa Gas as a buyer several times. I've never been able to be there on Thursday , so I've always gone knowing I was shopping for left overs. If you can't be there by Wednesday afternoon you're probably too late for the really great stuff. In the old days many vendors would set up for a few hours on Saturday morning. The vendors that did that usually were cutting prices.
If you're attending the Friday night can auction for the first time you're going to get an "education".
There are usually some bargains to be had at the Saturday auction if you have the patience to stay to the end of the sale. Don't forget the buyers premium though. Bob

Last year was the first year that I did NOT set up on Saturday morning! The show was basically over by 1PM on Friday! I'll pack up late Friday afternoon. Once the auction starts things are really dead... Ron Scobie

Hey . . . I'm all for the REAL weekend shows. This having to be there on Wednesday afternoon B.S. if for the birds.
Run the shows on the weekends like every other collectable/car/tractor/antique show sponsor does.
The hobby needs 'new blood' and it's not gonna happen if the 'newbies' can't get exposed to the 'kewl kollectables' at the shows. Like Ron said - by Saturday all you're going to get is left-overs and the standard restoration parts that anyone can order thru the mail or off of a web site. All the rare or real collectable stuff has already changed hands and is on it's way to a new home.
Later . . .
Jim

Put me on the list for the weekend shows. If they would have the can auction on Friday Night the swap meet on Saturday day then the auction again on Saturday night then there still would be time for some early morning vending on Sunday before everyone packed up Sunday afternoon.
Scott Wanted- Powerine and Powerlube items!
