sometimes people complain when I point out people paying real stupid

for something on eBay.

The reason for that is Hamfests and Swap Meets in general are DEAD.

You could have fooled me. There's nearly a dozen swaps every year,
at different times of said year, here in the PacNorthwest.

The SF Bay Area, Lawndale (southern California), and San Diego all
have monthly hamateur swap meets. I regularly attend several. They're
about as far from "dead" as one can expect.

Yes, Greed-bay has had an effect on the quantity and variety of
equipment that shows up at such events. However, there still seems to be
plenty to go around.

Suggestion: Research before you generalize.
