There were no "Great Deals"! Every body was Anticipating a huge European presence and there were prices given in Euros. I did hear some German spoken and French and some other languages that I couldn't identify, but not that much. But for the first day, the great European invasion never materialized. What the rest of the show will bring is any any one's guess.
Prices are Crazy! Young sellers, selling overpriced "old stuff" just cause it's old. Vendors I spoke to, said they sold quite a bit but for quite a bit less than they asked for the item.

We were there all day yesterday. Prices were on the high side, but all the vendors we spoke to came down almost immediately so got a couple good deals. Picked up orders from Snyders and Langs for the Model T, and found a very nice Holley carb, rebuilt and ready to go for a very good price (my primary target for the day). Friend found a late 30's bicycle in good shape for next to nothing.

Prices in the corral ran from steals to outta sight. A really nice '54 VW (Oval window) for $12K was a good deal, as was a '27 Buick Touring with RHD for $15K. A magnificant '32 Lincoln stunned at $197K. At that level I wasn't sure if that was a good price or not, certainly way out of my range...

Big John · 10-11-2012, 10:16 AM

it is a tradition for prices to may be overpriced ...make offers and haggle... they have thousands of people to show their wares to.....if item is still there on friday or saturday, best time to bid,,, but generally the time to buy an item is when you see it the first time...gud luck....

TD · 10-11-2012, 10:23 AM

Do you think there will be much left to sell Saturday?

Years ago when I was able to walk the fields I made the mistake of not buying a part when I saw it. In my naivety I thought I'd find it cheaper. That was a hard lesson. The following year I keep a tablet and pencil for notes. Frequently when you do go back the part is sold or the booth is rearranged and you can't find it.
