New England Swap Meets - which ones are good?

Ok, so we all know Stafford has seem to go down hill, Thompson as well though I think is still a bit better.

Where are good meets in the New England area?

Any meets where they actually restrict the types of vendors that come in, as in hey you are selling all types of dirt bikes and not car stuff so you cant come in to sell.

I appreciate the input.

Thanks, Tim

i use this list every year---there are more swaps than this---lake compounce spring and fall] and mansfield ,mothers day weekend,[comcast center] are no miss for me--to each their own

 

The internet has taken its toll on all swap meets. Try Amherst, NH. It seems to have held up better than the others, although, it too, isn't what it used to be. The last one of the year is this coming Sunday & it's usually mobbed. Rte. 122, Amherst, NH.

 

seekonk speedway oct 27. rt 6 seekonk mass.

 

yeah we go to Mansfield every year and use to go to Amherst a lot (traffic there sucks haha)

I have not been to Compounce but here it is great...I know the reschedule for Seekonk is this weekend and will likely go there too..

I am tired of seeing leaf blowers

 

....what's the best time of day to get there, never been! YET!

 

Betweeen the two, I find more at Thompson than Stafford Springs, and Lake Compounce beats them both.

 

lake Compounce is still a good one.

 

For old tin thompson may be better i go to thompson on sat and compounce on sunday for newer stuff (60s) mopar i have better luck at compounce

 

@white. before daybreak, drive easy on the small country roads

 

What is the best time to arrive at Thompson?

At Amherst, you have to get there early, many vendors start to pack around 10:00.

 

I've always heard good things about Amherst, but never been able to get there, maybe 2014 will be the year. Wonder if I'll take a load of junk to Lake Compounce or just walk through as in past years. Bob

 

Thompson was a waste for me today, I did not find anything.
I do better at Amherst.... unfortunately I have to wait until April 27th.

I am going to try Lee Speedway next week. I am only a 20 minutes away so I have nothing to loose.

 

lake compounce in ct is nov 3 tomorrow im going heard its pretty good

 

The best ones are those that you find something your looking for at.
