The all Mopar swap meet would be nice but all the local area ones I have been to have been way to small to warrant all the costs to travel very far. I hope they have a large amount of vendors because that is also the Wichita Kansas swap meet that requires no gate fees. All Wichita vendor spaces in both of those huge buildings have been sold out for many months. I would go to Columbia but after I have paid all the costs to get to the swapmmet I won't pay to attend other than parking. Buyer gate fees suggest that they have a lack of vendors to cover the costs. I have never been to a swapmeet that I had to pay to go to. I have paid for parking and that is getting pretty common but the swap meet here in Oklahoma that is building quickly charge no parking or gate fees. I am also finding my best buys are at the no buyer fee swap meets.
 
Parking is free and the gate is $5. I don't see that as a problem?!? It is a pretty small swap meet. Not a lot of big vendors there, mostly smaller Midwest guys. Two years ago, we walked it in about an hour. Didn't go last year, but will be there Saturday morning this year.

Most of the swap meets I go to in the KC area are the same way.

You answered the question. It is a pretty small swap meet that is ok if you live close but not worth the time of traveling several hours to attend if you want to just buy parts.
 
Oklacarcollecto.....we are not worthy of your presence.....so your not invited!
we must go on without you on this one!

I'll be driving two hours each way just to kick old dirty Mopar parts and get out of the house on a Saturday morning in the middle of winter! Worth every penny to me! :cheers:
 
Might just have to try and make it guys. Went a few yrs back and yes it was small and no BIG vendors but i do recal some very good deals were available. It was a lot of small guys like us and some had deals like a set of slant six headers for $100. With this economy prices will be down. People are hungry and will be wanting to deal. I'll try and make that even though it's a 4 hr drive for me.

Loading up the car right now. Just a reminder bump for anyone who might be going!!!
 
Clean roads and good weather to be out of the house :cheers:
the rain has past to the east :coffee2: Have a great day Brian :cheers:
I wish I was loading up this morning to meet you there :glasses7:

I have never been there :eek:ops: Can you snap a few pictures for us :happy1:
 
Here's a bump for this year's show. Can't find any date anywhere? I sent an email to the address above trying to get more info.

Last year, I bought quite a few four speed parts at a decent price. Can't wait to make a mid-winter road trip!!!

Brian, Last year was it! Rent was doubled and the swap meet could not support the added costs.

SORRY! John

Well, I guess greed got to another semi-successful show....
