Re: McPherson Ks. swapmeet April13
Gene, Roughly how many vendors were there last year? How big is the swap meet? I might consider going to buy & sell if I thought I could get close to breaking even on a 3 day, $300 in fuel trip. (1,500 miles round trip for me)

Re: McPherson Ks. swapmeet April13
I and the students thank you for the enthusiasm. Certainly everyone is welcome, and the swap meet is growing each year, but I don't want anyone to be disappointed. It is still small; approximately 35-40 vendors. We have a group of 8-10 from our local Flatland T's that have spaces. We have a lot of fun, tend to sell a bunch of stuff, and a I'll probably even buy more than I did this year at Chickasha, but it is small. If you do come a distance and stay over on Friday night, let me know, I'll try to provide some sort of entertainment.

And like I've told others...if you have items for sale that are $1, I'll personally guarantee you make at least one sale that day

this is a small meet , but the folks I have spoken to have indicated that there was some interesting items at last years meet ( I guess this is actually the 5th. year ) is nearly 1000 mile round trip for me … I will report on the meet and probably post some pictures … I don't expect to have a bunch of sales , but anticipate a good trip and will visit with any who stop at my space … always an optimist...Gene French

I have already made 3 sales of items to be delivered to the meet … and I have agreed to buy some heavy items … will probably buy more … I don't really expect large sales at any swapmeet , but to sales contacts are always good and often result in later sales … always an optimist ...Gene French
