This is the only Swap in Nor Cal that compares to the famous January Turlock Swap. like with many swaps, the best deals are made set up Nite, and early AM day of swap.
you can sleep some other time. funny to walk around at day break with sellers still asleep.

 

I need a getaway. Think I'll be there.

 

I guess only me and the foreigner's

 

how 'bout an address so we can mapquest it?

 

just google Arco Arena or Power Balance Pavilion

or go to our web site www.SacramentoSwapMeet.com

or the street address is 1 Sports Parkway, Sacramento

Home of the Sacramento Kings ..

and no the swap meet is not indoors .. it's on 11,000 parking spaces outside the arena ...
must of have had 20 calls asking that question

(15,000 spectators and 1400 sellers .. should be a good swap meet as have been the last five since we left Hot Greedy Nights in Reno in 2008)

buyers USE THE MAIN ENTRANCE
----------------------------------
sellers go to the WEST GAte .. cash only no checks or credit cards

if you are pre registered hang the sign on your mirror and show the gate personel your wrist bands

 

I'm gonna try to be there.

 

I'll be there, it's worth the 3 1/2 hr drive. Last year was great.

 

I plan on being there.

 

Folsom...is that near the prison?....hell....my uncle ran the shop there for years....sorry I'll miss it the swap meet...let me know if the old roadster shows up....

sellers/buyers be there

 

Btt

 

Great swap! Well run. Good parking, plenty of room, lots of sellers and buyers abundance of portapottys with hand wash sites.

 

now that was a good swap meet, cleaned out my garage and almost sold everything i had loaded into my pickup. i told my friends im going to price everything to sell and bringing nothing back home! the only thing i missed today was not being about to walk thru the whole swap meet.

 

I picked up a decent uncut set of Offy aluminum heads for the '41 flatty that's in my Deuce dump truck for $125. Great day, didn't see a single pack of power ********ters, everybody was actually there to buy and sell LOL
Of course the usual primadonna powerparkers in the lot made it a little tough to find a spot, actually saw a complete wretch rustbucket old Blazer with hoop wheels and rubber bands parked ****eyed in 2 spaces- there's your ugottabkiddingme trophy for the day

 

Today was a wallet filler..The pictures were taken about 6:30 am. I was impressed with the amount of product I sold. Linkage arms to complete intake setup.. NO complaints here..
Excellent Swap Meet..How to see you in April 22 of 2012..
Duane.

 

it just gets better

 

just dragged my tired **** back tonight it was none stop for me

starting at 6am Saturday right through to 7 pm Sunday night...

thank you everyone -- sellers and buyers ..

my ATM guy was very happy ...my insurance guy was happy
just one irate Vendor or Buyer left a nasty message about dogs not allowed on he grounds ..no comment

I will try to post some picture after I get some rest ...

my crew was super it ran fairly smooth we will continue to polish this puppy

The Kiwis were fantastic ... even brought my office gal a gift when they bought a spot .....


many sellers pocketed a ton of cash ..

no way could you really see it all in 8 hours ..



and I was on a this minus the snow .and stilhad a hard time covering all the booths..

many vendors gave me gifts too it was not necssary
they were so happy about the swap meet .
and making a few bucks when the DOW dropped so many points on Thurs.




I must have taken a 300+ pics


an UNREAL SWAP MEET....not one sungl*** vendor did I see

 

Great swap. Gets better every time.

This year, this followed me home

 

John
The swap was great this year … yes each gets better
Thanks

 

It took me 5 1/2 hours to walk the the whole thing, and I saw lots of people with stuff in their hands or in their damn wagons. Lucky for me the carb I found was in the last row, so I only had to lug it 1 way. If they keep this up, it could be the equal to Pomona. Definitely worth the trip from Sunnyvale.

 

Was a great event enjoyed it very much,I think the Alzheimers is kicking in as had a little trouble finding the car when trying to leave.
Chopperman that is a great score,the body was in great shape and a nice little 6 in it.Was very tempted myself,look forward in seeing what you do with it.

 

that was one really nice organized swap,plenty of porta pottys,i like how the service was offered from the guys at the school to haul your stuff and watch your spot if need be, and there was some really cool stuff there.

 

I remember looking at your stuff a couple times- I was the ugly guy with the cart
April 22? On my birthday? Gonna have to buy myself some presents there
