Perhaps John Craig's Computer Swap (usually in San Jose)

There were at least 4 outfits that had swaps at San Mateo County

My favorite was the time that Shugart showed up with a tractor trailer of

Back when all our crap was new, there was a show that may
be this one held in San Mateo. I recall the Bill Godbout auctions
for the extras from the factory, and all the vendors having
exhibits, and stuff for sale.
