THE OLF SWAP MEET IS NOW OPEN

The OLF Swap meet will begin opening today at 11:00 EST. I think this will be a really fun summer event, and there are some great deals to be had.

And, don't forget, if you have stuff to sell contact Lance or me and we can get you set up to sell anything you like. The cost of a "table" is only $35, but you can sell as much as you like with no additional cost.

PLEASE DO NOT CREATE THREADS in the Swap Meet. Just respond and reply within each sellers thread. We want conversations to happen in this discussion forum, but within the threads that are already there.

[QUOTE=Bobc] Brock it forces you to log in.[/QUOTE]
It should only do that if you want to post.

You can't go in and read it if you aren't logged in? Hmm.... let me experiment. Thanks for the tip.

Is the intention to buy via posting in the thread, or via PM? I used a PM to make an offer, but now am not sure if that was the right choice or not.

I think it is better to do it in the thread so everyone knows, but I have also been getting PMs too.

Hey guys, we need more stuff, how about some jibs, clamps, molds, binding, inlay, etc. etc. I am having more fun than a kid in a candy store, but how about that cool other extra stuff everyone has laying around!!

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Clean the closets, purge the shops. I have not really had time to go through everything slowly, I made a few quick passes through the sites and nabbed 2 sets of the worm snail tail Ambrosia from the Zoot, a WRC Top from him but I am in a serious time crunch on some projects myself and really should'nt even be here now......................

Bye

Lance, Brock, guys --

I just want to say that I think the swap meet is a great idea.

In addition to getting special deals from our fantastic suppliers, it's a good way for anybody to pass along to others stuff that one of us no longer need, but others might.

I'm sure happy. I scored a Lenox Trimaster for only $50! (Thanks again, Don!)

Best,

Michael

Yes. I think it has gone very well too.... An idea whose time has come... for sure.

I am hoping though that once our auction area is up and running that this kind of opportunity will be happening constantly.

Hey now, I'm sicker than all of ya! I've not only bought at the Swap Meet but have then gone to the sponsors sites for some extra goodies. The OLF Swap Meet has caused me to go into a buying frenzy. As far as spare clamps....there is no such thing. Really though, I'm sure I've got some wood and other goodies that I could part with but I just haven't had time to go through it (computer crashed awhile back and lost my inventory list). As us Aggies are known to say 'wait till next year'.

But if you sell some, you can BUY more!

Get back down there and look harder.    Brock Poling38912.058912037
