Default Re: Where are the parts?

Check The Swap Meet" page here. There are a lot of parts listed.

My 2 cents worth. After talking with many of my friends over the years that occasionally sell parts and I do not think I am the only one that fells this way. In the past I generally only sold parts that I collected for a potential project but no longer need (I am not a "DEALER") at 2-3 meets a year, including Hershey. Good original parts are getting scarce for what ever the reasons. Consider, like everything else, swap meet spaces, gas, hotels and all the hidden items cost more. Some meets/states require a tax ID number even for the hobbyist that just has a few parts to sell. On top of it, there is a lot of work to dig out the parts, load them up, unpack and set up, sit for a day or more deal with "lookers" or those that want to pay 1970s to 80s prices, then pack up go home and unload.
