I was on goood ole' Craigslist the other day and saw that they were having an 5th annual Snowmobile /ATV swapmeet up close too me which was this past Sat. so I decided to take some stuff up there and see if I could sell a few thing's.Notice in the pic's all the Swinehart reproduced Tecate item's,So right there you know I was selling Quality stuff.It did'nt matter the other quad guy's there just sat too and 90% of the sled heads.I usually go to maybe 1/2 dozen or so shows and or swapmeet's a year as a vendor and sometime's I sell good and sometime's not so good.I was just wishing I had more info on this before I went too it so I would'nt of wasted my time.

Well I figured why not ,so I get up there Sat. morning and set up and I'm easily ready by 9:00 am.I waited a half hour till anybody came to look at my stuff that was even serious about buying anything,and I was doing better than the other vendor's.Long story short I sold 15.00 worth of stuff and then bought a 7.00 item.By far the worst swapmeet I had ever been too,I absolutely could'nt believe it and the other pep's there,well I talked to 3 other guy's and I had the best sale's of the 4 of us.The guy who ran the deal came and talked to me and said it was a good turnout,Boy I woulda hated to have seen a bad one,I thought.

Anyway's I wanted to see if you guy's wanna post up some good Swapmeet's or Show's that you go to annualy that are really good or bad.I went to one with Ditchmud in Wauseon ,Ohio in August that was pretty good .So post up those good show's guy's,I guess just post the Date's and what State it's in and how good or bad it is or was.Basically any detail's you can give out.This should be a good informative thread.I'll start.

Vintage Motorcycle show and swapmeet
Where: Wauseon Ohio
When: August every year
I'd say the show was good ,it was a 3 day event and everything was basically older than 1985 I would guess.They had a few atv's but it was mostly older bike's,I saw 3 Honda ATC's and alot of CT 70 and mini trail's.

I know there will be some in the fall in Michigan and when I have more info I'll be sure to post it..Start posting them show's and swapmeet's up ~

A-1 is great. I have been several times as I am hugely into old sleds. Mid-Ohio vintage weekend KILLS! Mike from Vintage can attest as he and his crew are there every year.
