I had not attended for several years due to the disorganization, poor cleanliness, bad food choices, and the annual you are going to get screwed over by something by the time the weekend is over. I was a walk-up vendor this year, and was pleasantly surprised by the super friendly staff at the gate, garbage cans regularly emptied, relatively clean bathrooms, new fairly reasonably-priced food choices, and I didn't get screwed over once. Except an adjacent swapper crashed his van head-on into my table, and buckled it tossing some parts around. OK, you can stop now. LOL It was a really good experience overall.

For those that walk by if no prices on items, it's a swap meet not Target. The art of negotiation is lost. People are afraid to ask what a part fits, what the price is, counteroffer, etc. My buddies and I reward true swap meet folks with good deals, particularly when they have a younger person with them learning the ropes. People that ask questions, we end up explaining what we know and where they might find what they are looking for. End up talking at length with quite a few people, making new connections even.
