trulyvintage,
Please don't misunderstand my question, I think we're on the same page. I enjoy the camaraderie of a swap meet and I look forward to seeing friends and acquaintances that share the same interests as I do as well as meeting new people in the hobby - I'm sure you do too. It's the people that make our hobby what it is and it always has been that way. I also prefer to buy and sell face-to-face; I want to see what I'm buying in person. Swap meets are good for our hobby and I want them to survive and thrive. I plan to attend as many as physically possible, and spend money while I'm there!
