I'll probably get a space to sell- anyone want to go in with me?

Sell bike parts!  Buy more bike parts!

Hi Jeff.  I'm interested in joining you at this.  I have a few items hanging in the garage that need to go. (to make room for the new)  :

Okey-dokey... anyone else? Anybody got a table they can throw in? (Dang- that sounds like a bar fight.)

I have a nice ~6' long plastic folding table - and a few smallish things to sell. Although with only a Smart Car and an insufficient bike trailer, I could use help hauling the table to the meet.

Between our two tables it sounds like we collectively made around $1,000! A great time was had by all, and many smiling faces walked out with new bike toys gear & thicker wallets. Three notable things which did not sell were a well-priced Schlumpf, a half-priced BOB Yak trailer & a front-wheel-drive fork + wheel. Those respective owners can speak up if they're still willing to part with 'em.

Edna snuck in over a dozen voodoo donuts and plenty of milk, only after braving a frigid block-wrapping line. Dave provided precious coffee to those suffering withdrawals, as the coffee folks meandered in at nearly 10am. Lonnie & Todd provided plenty of entertainment, while Jeff chased-away the shorties gawking at his bikes. Many familiar faces stopped-by to cheer us on throughout the bright sunny day.

I managed to snap a few pics, and although the place was packed, we all wandered off throughout the day, comforted in the knowledge that a fellow OHPV member would happily process our transactions. For those who didn't bring your goods, and smiling faces, you really missed out on a great chance to sell your old gear (maybe next year!).
