Duneland Club Swap Meet

kerick · January 08, 2026, 07:02:01 PM

My club is having a multi club swap meet in March. I know 99% of the folks here won't be able to make it but there might be a few interested individuals.

There is no fee for selling stuff. If you have questions just PM me. There is also an event on farceb@@k.
BTW, the show and contest will be in October again.

The swapmeet is coming up fast! I'll be happy to see folks there.

Mate, I would but I'm not a member of any club ... And it's 15,990 km (9,936 mi) from my place to 100 E. Beam St, PORTER IN.

You can stay at my house! No problem!

A true Whiffer would make the trip though.

Even though they wouldn't have enough cash left to actually BUY anything of course.

My cash would see me to somewhere over the middle of the Coral Sea ... Maybe ... If I'm lucky.

After that it's over the railings or out the hatch without a life-jacket/parachute ... Neither of which I'm overly keen on experiencing.

Yes, of course. A pity lots of such interesting events all happen on the OTHER side of the world!

That would take about sixteen hours each way and cost a grand, minimum for travel costs. Don't think I will bother as that's a touch steep for me.

But you might find something interesting!
I have to search my stash for things to part with. A brutal task but it needs to be done!

So my conscience keeps telling me, seconded by the lack of space.

But that's just a wild rumour...

I brought 30 kits to the swapmeet. I sold 3 and bought only one. I consider that a success! Many others brought stuff and several new people showed up so very successful there too. One young fellow and his dad walked in and said "Whoooo!" as soon as he saw all the kits on the tables. He was the hit of the party!
A good time was had by all.

And that's what we want to hear

Well done
