I know it's a bit early haha, just just curious as to see who's coming to this year's VCF Swap Meet in NJ in two months! I'm very excited for my second VCF and first Swap Meet, and hope to see some familiar faces and people from the forums :)

Would love to hear what it's like as well if anyone has been previously!

I'm gonna try to be there as usual. Not confirming anything yet, but that's the goal. I've been to the last two June meets and the one in February 2022.

I'm considering it. I have a ton of machines I'm probably going to be looking to re-home and it feels like the best way to do it. The challenge is I have an event the Friday before and it would be a long drive for me to get up there.

How's the one at System Source at the end of April in MD? That one would be a bit more doable and I don't have as much of a conflict. But it appears to be much smaller,. and I don't want to drive all that way and sell 2 items,

If you end up making it possibly would be interested. Not sure if I still will be by the time June rolls around, but if you have a SE/30 or an Imagewriter II I would be interested. We'll have to see though!

I'm going to try to make it to the VCF Swap Meet in NJ this time around. (I am also 99.9% sure I'll be at the System Source Swap Meet next weekend.)

Out of curiosity, what was the System source swap meet like? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it was last weekend, right?

That's in Wall, NJ? When these threads pop up, locations, dates, hours and links to the event in the IP would be most helpful. ;)

I had thought the June one was at InfoAge and the April one at System Source? I was asking how the most recent, April one went and what it was like. So excited for June!

System Source is the one in Maryland that was on the 27th, and the infoage one is NJ(in june, and i think they usually do a 2nd one around october)


System Source swap meet was good, not as big of a turnout as the infoage one but I left with less physical stuff than I came with, and more cash than i came with, so all in all a success! will probably make a post/thread about my pickups at the system source swapmeet

The most recent System Source Swap Meet on April 27th had the largest seller turnout of the three I've attended. It was worth my trip up from Central Virginia, but I should disclaim that I drove halfway and then rode up with RetroTech Chris the rest of the way.

If you want to get an idea of what I picked up from the swap meet, along with what I remembered paying for items, I did a livestream on the topic:
