Re: swap meet

All of those and then some. Most swap meets have lots of parts, lots of projects, and a few running, driving cars/trucks. There will be vendors with new stuff as well.

There will be guys there with lots of useless crap too...

Re: swap meet

its real important to get to swapmeets VERY early in the morning also important that you know what the prices are for what you're buying and inspect everything you must also be able to make up your mind on the spot because if you walk around and think about it and then decide you want it chances are when you go back for it its long gone bring lots and lots of money (not all in big bills) dont be afraid to haggle over the pricefor used stuff i usually try 25% off, new stuff about all you save is tax and shipping. a wagon or handtruck is nice to have if you're getting heavy stuff a totebag or backpack is good to carry for little stuff

Re: swap meet

^^Great advice^^I don`t buy any repro stuff unless it`s large or delicate for shipping.You can get repro anytime.You must cease the moment and take advantage of the fact that all this stuff was brought to one place just for you and it will be gone tommorrow(or 5 minutes).It`s best to have in mind or.better yet,make a list of what you need/want.There will always be something not on the list that you gotta have,but the list helps to stick with a plan.
Watch your impulses!It`s easy to get carried away(isn`t that what it`s about?).
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH FUEL TO GET HOME BEFORE YOU GO IN!!!!
