You can do what you want on the fairgrounds but they don't have electrical hookups on the fairgrounds. Need to be self contained. There is a park near where I live, Pinchot State park and they have everything and it has a lake and great place to stay nearby. You can have camp fires, fish, swim, etc.. Cheap to. Check it out. Its about 45 min drive or so one way to fairgrounds.
We were told no camping inside next year. Its all going to be outside
Was it a sour experience, Wayne? I take it some vendors feel that way?
.I don't know about sour. lol I felt bad for the guy I was helping sell his parts. He spent a lot of money to do this & he didn't even make a 1/4 of it back. I will be posting some of his parts on here, FABO Don't get me wrong, I had a good time. Meeting & talking to people. Most people were looking for B body & big block stuff. O I never noticed this before but I love the POKORNY ENTERPRISES
they rent power scooters at gate 3 at the carlisle show. tell them big mike sent ya from the gear head mafia car club. stop by next year 2017 and say hi. we are in a-body modified. we have a sassy grass green dart swinger with buzzin half dozen on the rear quarters
Good meeting you Joe. See you next year
I am glad you brought this up. This year, sales were definitely down. I doubled my spaces and packed a second vehicle full of parts...and sold less than 2014 and 2015!
Excellent point! Even with adding the cost of shipping, FABO members are great buyers.
This is an interesting comment...Some but not all of my parts had prices. I keep a price sheet for my reference, but not a single part sold for the price listed. Everyone haggles for a lower price...I stay firm on my price on Friday, but by Sunday, the heavier parts get a better price!
You know. I looked all over down there and couldnt find a single 73 74 Valiant Duster hood. I bought one and someone stole it off of me. Should of just bought yours. Thats karma lol.
Tell ya what I like, I put a price on parts so the buyer & I talk about the price. I like it when people stop & ask if I would lower the price. 9 times out of 10 I will lower the price to where both of us are happy. I like the conversation that starts. Everyone that I bought & sold parts from here at FABO have been awesome. Wish I could meet all of them at that time. So with all that said, I am going to try to talk to my friend with the parts & see if he will let me sell his parts on here at FABO. All of it is A body & small block parts. Some original & some racing parts. All of it came off a demon at some point. It was a show car turned into a drag car. So if your looking for a certain part, ask he just might have it.
It's proportional to how badly I need the part. I definitely am quicker to buy something with price marked. If I really need something, I will ask. If I see something I am interested in, but don't really need, I am probably not going to make the effort when not marked. If it's marked cheap enough, I might impulse buy something I might not use for a long time, garage art, etc.
@limegreen70 Someone stole it? Was this at the Fairgrounds?
@zkx14 I appreciate you stopping by and introducing yourself!
Good comments here. I also noticed if you had someone looking at your parts, that seemed to draw more people in.
No. No. It was on tied down on top of my moms jeep and someone just took it. They aint worth mich and only worth 3 bucks scrap value so dont know why someone would want it.
Well that sucks. They had to know what it was. There is only so many cars out there that it will fit.
@red67gts I'm sorry missed you, but I appreciate the effort!
