1. All the cheap prices of garage sales without having to (a) drive all over town and (b) not being the only one there. When I go to a garage sale and I am the only one there looking around, I feel bad if I don't buy anything. I always feel pressured to buy something, even if it is junk, just so that the seller feels better. Flea markets/swap meets are great because there are tons of people walking around so you can mix in with them and not feel so much pressure.
2. It is a social event. It took me more than hour just to make the first lap around the place b/c I kept running into people to visit with.
3. Of course, everything is cheap. Look at this pile that I bought......
A repair manual for Megan's truck.... in store $35
A choke cable for my Enduro car (I needed one)...... maybe (what?).... $25-30
A leather carpenter's belt...... retail $35
My total cost at the Swap Meet....... $11 (I am just glad that Sari is out of town b/c we would have spent a lot more than that!)
Giving: I did an interview for a video that will be shown at the Estevan Motor Speedway awards banquet. They interviewed a few of us..... here is Aaron Turnbull doing his.....
