I stopped taking items to club swap meets when I realized that you 
couldn't get a decent price on anything.  When people ask why I don't 
participate, I tell them that it would be hard to get $1 bid for a $5 
bill.

On the other hand, the Southeastern Model Show in Perry, GA is a great 
place to sell "stuff".  BTW, it will be held on March 5th and 6th.
