Hoping to make it for the flea market Sunday. Stupid questions, perhaps, but want to make sure I'm prepared- Are all sales in cash? Do some sellers accept PayPal or credit cards? Any ATMs on site?

There is an ATM there... but... I wouldn't trust it farther then I can throw it.
All the deals I have worked with are Ca$h.. I think some of the bigger vendors may take card.

@fireglen wow from Oklahoma? My drive is a whole 20 min.. lol

Agreed. that ATM is sketchy at best

I thought my 6hr drive was far

 

[coop359]

Wow. Looked at the auction items. Pre electricity. No 6 or 12 volt items. But still cool. Wonder what they will get for those helmets and lanterns

Im liking that 12" annunciator bell.

NE guys, any particular website where trucks are being sold by companies upgrading? I'm looking for something, and missed out on the Fairmount C95 Mack that was for sale last year.

Just an observation. Best trucks as far as condition are Maryland up through New York state. I had a culture shock when I left Montgomery County for Virginia Beach. Even 6 month old trucks were never as nice as the rigs around Philly.

Keep up the good work, guys n gals.

 

[Stampeed Valkyrie]

And just like that it's over.

Met some elb people, and walked away with a few project bars...

My set up went well and met Sir Valkyrie himself. Rob it was a pleasure. Also my wife let me make one small purchase the red Model 11 Dome and I traded even up a pair of code 3 red oscillators for the Beacon Ray.

 

[Stampeed Valkyrie]

Nice uptrade on the beaconray.

I have some first look videos posted on my youtube channel.
The 12F I scored is in pretty good shape on the internals..
One of the Aerodynics also has a TS-200 speaker.. so bonus.

[CAPTAIN 58]

It was a good day ! but next year I'm going as a spectator not a vendor that was a back-breaking week I spent getting ready for it LOL
