Quoted from pinwiztom:Really was nothing at swap meet as far as i could tell, maybe a couple people brought a game or two.
There really wasn't anything brought for a swap meet. The logistics are the hard part. Our parking is limited and with only requiring a $1 reservation fee it meant that it is much harder to tell how full the lot is going to be, so creating a dedicated space to encourage it isn't really practical. I think it is a good idea, but one that will require more word-of-mouth within the pin community.
The VFW show is unique in that is really is an open house for private pinball collection. Ancillary stuff like buying or selling games parts hasn't really been a feature. You come here to play games. That being said, Clay has shown he is open to anything that would make the show a more positive experience as long as it doesn't increase the labor to execute the show. There is ALOT that goes on in preparing, hosting and then cleaning/servicing after a show like this. I think the VFW does an excellent job of hosting an event of this scale.
