I will be there Sat. I am going to put my new (to me) Trailblazer SS in the show. I was going to show the Camaro, but if I buy anything I will have no room to take it home, since 2 other people are going with me.

I can't, my wifey is working this weekend. So, I'm closing a hole in the wall where an AC unit was tomorrow, and taking my kids bike riding on Sunday.

Jay (91chevyz28), if you find any cheap old BMX bikes for sale, let me know since you're close by. :)

^^ that is what is wrong with that place, too much crap like hot wheels and bicycles. it's a flea market, not a swap meet anymore.

well at least i found a trunk lid for my chevelle along with door handles. i did notice things have really changed there, what happened to all the cute girls working there, i felt sick after eating my hot dog that and watching them cook the food from the grandstands wiping there noses and such then not washing there hands. i thought they stopped all the bs with people riding bikes and driving through the aisles, i cant count how many times i was almost knocked over. but besides all that it was a nice day on saturday.

I was there for a few hours on Friday all day Saturday and a couple more on Sunday. I set up Saturday and sold out almost everything I had I guess you guys appreciate someone selling good quality parts for a reasonable price. I had 5 people lined up for my 327 engine a couple guys waited for hours to see if the buyer was coming back to pick it up they wanted it so bad. First cash talks rule.

So I guess you can say I had one of the best Fall swap meet in many years. I also looked around but could not find anything to buy for myself. Prices too high for junk (like usual) but every now and again you strike gold.

I did run into a few drivers that compete in Stock NHRA class i used to know from way back and a couple other old familiar faces, that will keep me coming back for years to come.

Spot on...

My spot was near a guy selling bicycles, a few people selling stuff that wouldn't even pass for junk, and across from a group of 10 or 12 20 something off road truck people who had a full tilt party going on - 3 couches, bonfire, beer pong table in the trailer, you name it. They didn't even have anything to sell!

We did well on Saturday, Sunday was terrible. Looking forward to more actual car shows and less of a low end flea market with way too many hillbillies (at least for NJ).

We did really good selling in the spring. Aside from vendors, it seemed like we were one of the few groups there with actual good parts to sell. Everything else looked like rusty junk, old outdated electronics, bikes, hotwheels... basically yard sale/flea market garbage. Kinda sad, used to be so much better back in the day.

I used to go look around there back in like 99-2003. But I'm kinda glad I stopped going if its really gone downhill that much. However, I'm thinking of going again to sell in the spring, last time I sold there was around 2005. I have loads of 82-02 fbody stuff so hopefully I'd do good. It just sucks when I was alone selling stuff, gets boring and you have to watch people too much. j0n ended up hanging out with me years ago lol.
