Anyone going to the St. Peter Minnesota swap this Sunday Sept 19th ? Always a great show. I'll be there !
it's in St Peter at the Nicollett County fairgrounds. it's a very good show and swap meet. i will be swapping.
TFritz and I will be there vending.IH red chevy 4x4 and a silver/blue suburban.After all this rain we decided to forgo bring down the 26 ft enclosed piled with parts but still will have some tasty bits for sale. We will be bringing a lot more to the Roadster swap. Tman..there really isnt a decent indoor swap during the winter IMHO.
This has always been one of my favorites meets. The weather has always been perfect when I went and there are a lot of interesting cars. The only problem is that the swap meet prices have gone out of sight the last few year. No good deals anwhere anymore.

I wish I could go but I will be out of the country until Oct. Are there any in Oct, also? I will try to make it next year.
I blame American Pickers. Now everybody thinks they got gold. Was thinking about going, but I have long day of OT on Saturday and my brother went bear hunting. Might just wire the new speakers in the shop and wait for Roadsters.
As usual I will be at St.Peter Sunday. As far as October swaps,the Roadster swap October 14th is not to be missed.
I'll be there either in the roadster or the wagon. Sounds like it will be nice weather... I heard the St Cloud Swap was a dissapointment, hopefully people are holding out for St Peter, or the Roadster Swap.
I suggest spending the gas money and go dig stuff up yourself if the prices are too high.The stuff at swapmeets doesnt just end up there laid out for the guys who dont(any of the following) A: have the time to go look B want to get their hands dirty C: know where or how to look. D:want to spend THEIR gas money Gas hit $4.00 today and I went off on a 180 mile round trip to gather more fresh stuff for the swap.15mpg means $48 in fuel plus 5 hours of my time to drive out,chat,load up and go home.St Peter is a 160 mile round trip so toss in another $42 in fuel.Thats $100 spent in gas alone just to get some traditional parts to a swap for folks to buy.Thats $100 joe average swap walker didnt spend to have parts ready to be picked up. Do I adjust my prices to reflect that additional cost? Yes I do. Swap meets are not charity events.
Roadster Swap meet is Oct. 14th at the northeast corner of the Minnesota State Fair Grounds. Be there or be square!!!!
