Dayton HamFest killed by E-Bay

"Lisa Simpson" wrote in message .. . Just returned from the Dayton HamFest; only found a coupla SW receivers for sale, used, high-ish prices; quite a few old tube receivers way overpriced, and of course the new ones at normal to slightly high prices. Disappointing. I was there for 4 hours on Saturday. Nothing but old test equipment and computer junk. Only reason to go anymore is to meet people, albeit an expensive one. Never again will I goto Dayton. It's day has ended, period. E-Bay and private ad's on places like QRZ.com have killed it. Not worth the effort anymore. Actually Ebay didn't kill the Dayton Hamfest. In the 1980's it was being handled as though it was still the 1950's and full of stuff that had been carted between too many hamfests. Dayton is dying because the promoters made the conscious decision to do nothing. |
