Train Show vs. Swap Meet

I assume you're talking "train swap meet ". The train shows here lately have been overpriced ... mostly retail dealers . And the other guys seem to want darn near retail. They are alright to look at items you may want ... but have'nt seen any "real" bargains . It's like having to pay and drive longer to get into a hobby shop . But thank the lord for the few regular sellers there who just want to sell or have bought out a hobby store . If it's a real swap meet you'll find many more bargains . With admission ... and gasoline prices it usually costs $25.00 - to get in the door of a train show --- multiply that by you and your 2 or 3 buddies and they're making a fortune . There's a once a year huge train auction in my area every year and that's where I only go from now on . Any other time it's usually good old EBAY if I'm not in a hurry and where else can I get over 20,000 " O " scale items available every day ?
