Absolutely nothing,went to Pomona today,it was very poor,the internet killed it in my opinion :( cheers richie,uk
allthough i have bought most of my 'rare' stuff from the net, i think you are very right. i like finding some cool things at swapmeets, it makes that part so much more special as opposed to just clicking and paypaling someone... evolution baby.

It's an interesting one. You used to be reliant on a few dealers for parts and when the internet (Ebay/Samba/Other) came along it opened it up but I don't think it's bought prices down and unfortunatley there's a huge variation in the quality of sellers. I'd still rather go to a guy that has good contacts in the market and specify what I'm looking for and what condition I want it in or buy it straight off the table in front of me. I think buying off someone that knows their stuff is preferable to risking stuff that's been liberally described and turns up in crap condition from a totally unknown source on the internet. With a swap meet there's also that stuff you didn't know you wanted but can't leave sitting on the table once you've seen it. It'd be a shame if the internet ends up totally killing this off, sure there's a good side too (there's The Lounge for a start!) and I have got some good stuff on-line but...
