Mike I'll be there, I plan on it I still need to go through all the goods and decide what stays and what goes, that could take more than a few days, LOL.

Great, Frank. I always look forward to seeing people at these events. It's a much a bull session as anything else. It took me three days to go through my stuff. I know I won't sell it all, never do. Sell some, buy some. I'll likely come home with just as many trains as I am bringing, just different ones. That's what happened last time.

Yea Mike I have to control buying anything, been doing 1/35 scale Armor as well, so have to avoid those urges, LOL.

I'm thinking on whether I will need a table or not, as I will bring about 4 tubs and can sell using the back of my pick up tail gate or I could bring my own table to save bucks so it doesn't cut into the profits ;-)

Well, everything in the Hobby Dept. is 25% off, including 1/35 armor. I guess that's why it's called a "swap" meet.
