Catch of the day for many will be a common cold. Brisk, a bit windy, cold, and rainy.
I purchased nothing more than a pair of used Time MTB pedals. Basically sold nothing. But I wasn't planning on it.

I had 2 booths, took 4 bikes, a trash picked Fuji Royale, an early 80s Motobecane bottom dweller, 84 Gran Course and @rhm s early 70's ASTRA Grand Luxe. I also brought some random stuff that has accumulated in my basement over the years. I promptly sold the Moto and Fuji as I was walking through the gates so at least my booth cost was covered. Both bikes were unrideable and I didn't have enough interest to finish building them so I took them as is. Both other bikes had lots of interest but neither sold. No big deal
I scored a very nice Voodoo cx bike for a girl I work with for an amazing price and some other fun small stuff.
Someone from here stopped past my booth but I was out hunting and they didn't leave a name.

Nothing earth shattering but.....
....did find some "odds and ends," good prices like a Park bottom bracket tool & nos chain breaker; sold a C-dale H600 to someone parked next to me in the lot, met some nice people, got wet footware, and left without two tires I purchased and told the vendor I would be back to pick up later!
I always enjoy the Velodrome meets.

Braved the weather, drove through the night, through the rain.
Sold a large portion of what I brought. Only came home with a saddle someone traded me.
Just did not see anything I had to have. I'm totally ok with that.

I think my tastes are getting too specific for swap meets. I had a shopping list of 6 items and could not find one of them. All I ended up with was a Cannondale front bag($5) and some gloves from the guy at the front gate.

That was probably me, just wanted to say hello. I was going to come around again but my feet were soaked from walking the infield. Nice pick up on the Voodoo, I always liked those, it's a shame they never really caught on. Very cool head badges.

I saw many bargains at the meet. There were deals to be had...if you were looking for stuff that specific. My budget is just tight right now, otherwise...i saw a Bianchi Funny bike there that I would have nabbed up in a heartbeat for the asking price which was $275. It was a complete as well. Once again, It sold in the parking lot as it was being unloaded for $225. I was just shaking my head. Inside...there were some nice framesets here and there. I picked up a used set of Time clipless mtb pedals so that I don't have to keep switching out pedals but got home, put it on and found that the set screws were all strips out and they were just mashed together, probably long enough to sell them...but they are shot and non-functional. Live and learn...i didn't pay much so...wasn't too sad.
But there were definitely good deals there....if you were looking. I am getting more and more picky as the years tick by as well.
