Swap meets are a rich mans eBay. At least with eBay you can sometimes go back to the person and ask why they sold you the incorrect/faulty/broken/worn out/etc...part. With a swap meet, its buyer beware...and 95% of all the electronic stuff is garbage. Thats WHY their selling it there instead of eBay. Not to mention the prices at the swap meets are rediculous. The only way to get a good deal is to know more about the part than the owner or wait until 15 minutes before the end of the meet and make an offer.

true but the first day they usually sell it because someone thinks it's a good deal and are afraid it will be gone if they come back later i was thinking bout taking the engine i have and my hood over there but no time gotta get this unit ready for the new tenant. peace
