dont you just love that. i have been both the buyer and the seller. last week i went to the garlits swap meet down here. the prices these guys wanted were crazy, but some took my offers. it was 10am and one vendor sold me a carb fuel inlet pipe for 5 bucks and he said that was his first sale of the day. a lot of lookers but not much buyers. with the economy like it is you would think they would want to deal with you. to set up a space at garlits is around 60 to 70 bucks the last time i checked. hopefully that guy at least got his space paid for.

when i have gone as a seller , i want to get rid of it all, so i really make deals for people but i wouldnt give something a way. but i sure wouldnt say i would throw it away first either, to me a fair used price is half what it was new.

At Daytona Beach "the Turkey Rod Run" is a huge event in November. I go each year and I meet good & bad people selling "stuff and cars". I met a couple of guys from N. Carolina and both were trying to sell their cars there. The one guy looked at me and with a straight face and said my wife said "don't come back up here with that car, I have to sell it". And come Sat. late afternoon and early Sun. prices drop especially with the out of state things. And of course I have met my share of people selling what they think are "Ruby Slippers" and think this is Oz and won't budge on price.

I always figure half of new is a good price at swap meets. Some think thier stuff is worth new price an your stuff is not worth anything. Been on both sides.
