Darryl,

I have a question. How much does it cost for a spot or two at the Auto Fair in Charlotte? You only have a $25 expense here compared to gas, lodging, Swap Spots, etc.

This is the main reason why I quit selling at Jefferson, Carlisle, Daytona, Charlotte, etc. I haven't swapped out of state in 5 or 6 years because of this.

For me to go to a somewhat decent show close to me is Jefferson. Thats 4-5 hours away depending on what we drive there. So 2-4 tanks of fuel, 2 nights of hotel rooms, swap spots at 50-100 per spot, money lost from taking time off, etc.... So I end up giving awa $500-800 worth of parts away to break even.

Second thing, I haven't been to Daytona or the Auto Fair in Charlotte for a few years..but as a seller in the last 5 years people get rude to the sellers. Doesn't matter if YOU or I tell tell a person 100-1500 for a part, they cut the price in half and wonder why you don't take it. This has been done to me over 100-200 between the last 3 decent meets we vended at. One example a set of NOS 074's that I had there..that were still in the boxes. People choked at a 2k price tag on them and couldn't figure out why I wouldn't take $750-1000 for them.

That was my last summer of being a decent swapper bringing out good stuff. Hopefully you can read through what myself, Rick and a few others are saying. Just weed through the bs comments.
