Naturally there are benefits to attending swap meets for purchasing larger items, -or personally inspecting something prior to purchasing, but it has been my experience that the swap meet items are more costly in the end.

That is why I'm willing to pay what I consider a little bit more for a part due to lack of Swap Meets and the distance I have to travel if there is one for parts they may or may not have that I can use. (Zephyrhills is 275 miles from my house)
