Any PC fair or swap meet is hit or miss. I went to a few back east and
they had nothing compared to Millard. Sometimes I go to millard and there
is nothing, other times it is a gold mine. It all depends on which vendors
show up & what they have to bring. Some vendors stopped showing up because
not enough people were coming through the door - did not matter that some
did not purchase anything, but the appearance of many people attending the
fair made the vendors feel 'warm & fuzzy'.

When are you showing up at the Fair? Sometimes the 'best' stuff is gone
shortly after opening.

You looking for anything specific?



[full disclosure: sometimes I get a table at the Millard Computer Fair to
sell my extra stuff, and do what I can to promote this unique resource;
but I do not benefit in any way from the vendors that run & operate
Millard Computer Fair.]
