swap meet vs ebay pricing

[ezdays]

Yeah, I agree, anyone putting a few hundred bucks into an effort to sell anything, has a big nut to crack when the margin in slim. Most people that show at our local swap meets though really only have the cost of the table plus the gas to get them there and back home. A swap meet here only runs about five or six hours, and they're not the type to attract out-of-state dealers that would need to spend the night in a hotel. The real dealers are the ones looking at the profit margins, the guy just looking to get rid of some stuff he doesn't want, is just interested in not having to take anything back home with him. I can understand the dealer not willing to bend on price, but that doesn't mean I have to buy what he's selling. Competition, that's the American way.
