I go to the Portland (Oregon) Swap Meet every year. In the last couple of years the indoor part of the meet has changed drastically. Numerous vendors no longer come to the meet. It used to cover 4 buildings and I suspect this coming year it may be down to 2 1/2 buildings. The outdoor part of the meet is about 1/2 of what it used to be. The meet held at the raceway(which is separate from the Expo buildings) seems to be doing fine, but there is a lot of what I consider yard sale stuff being sold there. It also appears that people are buying spaces just to park their cars. Its' a changing world for us old swap meet guys. When we are off the planet will swap meets be selling used Tesla parts? Or will swap meets go the way of the dinosaur?
