Hi,
It's been my opinion for the last couple years
that ebay is killing
the hamfest market, at least for things I look for....
I don't know if eBay is exactly to blame for that.
Here in the UK the "interesting" stuff started getting displaced by piles of
PC junk about 10 - 12 years ago (I can get PC stuff anywhere, without
travelling long distances to radio rallies). But then again, if you avoid
the traders in the main tents and concentrate on the "carboot" or "flea
market" sections there's usually more than enough goodies to be had. :-)
