Junior2561 10 Report post Posted March 17, 2012 Is anyone planning on going to the spring swap meet? How does it normally compare to the one in the fall?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
69RavenConv 286 Report post Posted March 18, 2012 I'll probably be there, I've been going since Fox bodies were new. :biggrin: The spring and fall are very similar, both good, and mostly the same vendors. It's always huge, and always fun, but IMHO eBay has ruined the old swap meet vibe, as everybody wants top dollar and if you don't pay, they just put it online and somebody else will. The days of finding a killer bargain at a swap meet is largely over. Although my buddy did find some nice Aussie Cleveland heads last year for a good price.

Junior2561 10 Report post Posted March 18, 2012 That is what i have heard from others also. There are next to no good 'deals' and if you com across something you want, you are paying top dollar. I wouldn't mind going just to look around...i'm sure i would find a way to bring somehting home though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuckeyeDemon 211 Report post Posted March 18, 2012 it's the same. there seem to be a few vendors that go to one and not the other. it's nice to see the parts in person as opposed to getting screwed on ebay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EBay has also showed us that you can find stuff cheaper rather then pay too much from the only guy that has it , once a year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max Power 74 Report post Posted March 20, 2012 It's hard to find good deals at brand specific swaps. They are Ford guys and they know what Ford guys will pay. Best deals are at general meets, but finding stuff you need can be hard. I agree, it is getting harder and harder to find good deals. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
