This was the first year in quite awhile that I was able to attend... again, due to them moving it to the middle of the week and I have what is called a J O B. This year, I took a couple of days of vacation and went down early Thursday morning and stayed overnight for the auction on Friday. As I was walking around the swap meet on Thursday morning, I overheard several vendors say that they had already sold more on Thursday than they had all week! Yet, several vendors were already packing up! Seems to me they were missing out on more sales?? I am an amateur collector and don't buy alot, but I think this event is geared too much toward swapping among vendors and not enough to sales to John Q Public. Just my two cents...
