FLEA at MIT Sunday April 17th Cambridge MA
 

Only thing I have ever seen for sale at this roachfest is
CB Junk Radios.

Don't waste your time going.

One man's junk is another man's treasure.

If that is all you have ever seen, then your eyes were closed for most of
your visit.

A man wiser than me once said "There is none so blind as he who will not
see".

Adding insult to injury, you have to PAY to see those junk.

That's an interesting assertion.

I've been selling stuff there for a couple of years now, and I've never sold
a single CB radio, junk or otherwise.

Computer parts, Macs, synthesizers, audio equipment, video production gear,
unix systems of various sorts, and various cables, sure, but not a single
radio.

Do you guys have to pay to go to ham fleamarkets as BUYERS ?
(Here, you pay as a vendor, but buyers get in free...mind you it pays
to be a vendor as you get a headstart of a couple of hours)

No doubt MIT's charge for using the parking lot and garage is
cosiderable. I suppose by charging the buyers the seller's
fee is kept low, which results in lots of individual sellers
with weird interesting stuff, who as it happens don't sell
much, and wouldn't be there if the seller's fees were higher.

There is an admission charge for buyers. Not sure if there is one for
vendors. When and where is Harvard's flea?
