Title: 3rd Annual Memorial Day Home Audio Swap Meet . 5/24/14
Post by: non-prophet on May 04, 2014, 02:44:52 PM
This year's event will be held at my building in Natrona Hts.  Let's make it a great one.  My building is huge and will accommodate both indoor and outdoor spaces.  There should be good exposure, on the main road only .5 miles from a Wal-mart, Goodwill and local flea market.  I do not access to tables, so please try to provide your own.  Maybe this change of venue will attract some new buyers and collectors.  The address is 2875 Freeport Rd Natrona Hts 15065.  Please PM Tom if you have any questions.

Excellent!

I have a 6 ft. table and I plan to sell some vinyl.  I also will have a few miscellaneous audio pieces.

Thank you Nick!

@T - that is a tad farther than I thought. Will try to make it nonetheless.

I will definitely come by.

I might have a few things to sell but I'm not sure yet. If I do, I have my own small table.

Looking forward to it!  no selling this year, but looking for lps and accessories. Hopefully bringing my son in law to buy components toward an inexpensive/ starter system for his new home garage. He has good taste... he loves my garage / man cave system and now that he has an even more awesome garage, he wants to get started lol!

I just procured a 6 foot table & a smaller one. I plan on being there early and leaving around mid day. I'll bring both tables plus some Zappa vinyl, a RtR (tubed), a couple of nice integrated amps and some speekers.

Really sorry I missed it.   The way speakers have been popping up at the thrifts, I'll have several to sell next year (refoaming is a winter sport).

I didn't read all 3 pages of this thread, so can I assume there will be the date change for a similar 2015 event?

And actually...

as an attendee at a gazillion gunshows and reptile shows and Butler County auto parts shows and computer shows of old here in the Pittsburgh area - I would think such an audio fleamarket show of folks showing up to sell their "spare" audio eqpt - would be a great idea.

I am looking forward to this year's event.  I don't think the location or exact date has been established.  A little promotion of this event will go a long way.

Maybe someONE will fix up the dump...  And they will have it at the same location in 2015, just renovated to luxury accommodations!!!   >:D
