Stan is it different in Ca? Do they allow the vendors to hold a gun on you to force you to buy their stuff? I have bought and sold lots of "Junk" at swap meets. I personally have never sold anything that I knew was inoperable.But have been fooled twice.One was a timing light the other was a buffer both vendors promised me faithfully they were good.
The truth is people go to swap meets looking for a deal and would rather buy junk than good stuff. I like to work on 4 speed transmissions. Usually carry several completely rebuilt with warranty and a couple of dirty used ones for parts and they will knock you down to get to the junk.
We have been going to the Autofair in Charlotte twice a year for many years and camp out for the weekend. Usually sell enough stuff to pay for trip. In our demolition business we run across all kinds of things that we put aside to carry. wierd things sell better than common.
We took down a double wide for a friend that had several hundred army helmets. He bought them at an auction to get something else that was bundled with them. We have been carrying them for years and usually sell 20 or 30 on a weekend. My youngest brother works for Yellow Cab and will carry the old lights off the roof and people will buy them like hotcakes. Now what are you going to do with a light that says Yellow Cab?

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
