Well it was held, and there was interest.
Some great deals, especially a beautiful, complete, 47 or so MG TC that sold for 10 K. I sold nothing, but my finds partially compensated.
One criticism was the silica sand is a real problem in a breeze.
I have a theory, proved out by an irrational guy. I say that one in a hundred, are real unique %#~!£>}{|%**.
I got a damaged fender out of the third time I mentioned my price for a very good 29 gas tank, the kind that are not reproduced anywhere.
Human nature proved itself again.
Neener, neener.
I will attend next year, and live to sell again.

I attended and picked up a couple of really cool early 28 items. I mostly stayed around our swap space on Saturday selling as the crowds were pretty constant. I haven't added everything up yet but my guess is over $2K in sales.

This was the first of many, imo.
Turlock was probably worse 39 years ago. I chose to give it a chance.
Needs an annual dose of magnesium chloride. And more advertising, and universal vaccination.
I think several bypassed my space. I was off the traffic lane, and clearly tagged my stuff.
Found some nice OEM door handles at Karr's space, good to meet up.
