    Hit or miss. I've been going since I was a little kid so it's just sort of by habit I go there, more like something to do. I wouldn't expect to find any treasures or really good deals except maybe on zipties or grinding discs.

    It used to be great; last year, one vendor saved it for me. If he hadn't been there, it would have been a wasted trip.

    Gettin' worse every year, less and less good stuff. Great if u want chinese tools. By the same token, there's not much else to do in jan up here. Bike show in the next building...good luck
