Englishtown Swap-thumbs up!

Wow, I was really surprised, but this had to be the best Englishtown Swap I have attended in the last 10 or so years. The place was jam-packed, even on Sunday. Got tons of awesome scores, even with the total lack of Mopar stuff. Anyone who says the swap meet is dying may have been right a few years ago, but I think it's bouncing back, and this weekend was definite proof of that, in my opinion. The only real bad thing, I left my wedding ring on the sink of the men's bathroom at the White Castle on Rt.9, so that's long gone. But, I have a car full of parts to comfort me slightly.

 

This was the first time I attended the Englishtown meet. Over all I was pretty impressed. I didnt find much old Ford stuff, but oh well I will save my money for this weekend at Carlisle.

There was one guy selling vintage speed equiptment but he was very over priced.(He was also kinda an assH#@!)

 

yeah it was the best in along time still a lot of junk but much better then the last few years

 

Yeah, but how many bicycles do you really need??

 

yup, thank feebay for jacking up listing fees and requiring paypal. I'm happy. I haven't been to Englishtown in about 5 years because I was sick of looking through clothes and arts and crafts. We got a few good scores and I left my jacket in the other car at home and had a hard time finding a jacket for sale...

got into a short little scuffle with a crotchety old man selling shrink tubes too! Good times!

 

Yup, thanks to ebay's ridiculous policy changes, I stopped listing on there. I take all my stuff to the swap, post it on craigslist, or list it on the HAMB.

 

I haven't been to the Etown swap since Fall 01, but I agree I've been ditching ebay in favor of classifieds since thier new policy changes with fees.
