How does the swap work?

[darkdrako]

This will be my first time to a swap meet and am just trying to figure out what to expect from non-vendors. For some reason, I picture a bunch of people walking around with coolers under trenchcoats saying "hey man! wanna buy some frags?::smokin:" lol :splitspin How has the last swaps worked? I don't want to prepay for any frags, etc. because I will run out of money before I even get to see the swap.

I think the majority of non-vendor sales are pre-arranged for pick-up, but some members might have stuff available and they will set up a cooler in corner somewhere and sell some stuff. The vendors do bring AWESOME stuff at good prices, and don't forget the MR sales table where we have bins of affordable things that are donated by members as well as some Cherry stuff that will be either Auctioned, Raffled or sold outright.

There are a lot of good deals you can get by prepaying, so it is hard to not buy.
You have to try to balance buying now and at the swap.
You get to see some really nice stuff at the swap and you can get some good deals also.
