Yesterday's MIT flea? We drove down 240 miles
from Burlington, Vermont.
Lots of vendors, lots of junk. The only vintage hardware I spotted was a
bastardized S100 box with a bunch of Vector Graphics and Cromemco boards.
Someone else got it, but I wouldn't have bought it anyway - too hacked up.
Yes, that pile. Quite a few people were VERY interested in that until
they found out it was not for sale - then it turned into a shitbox.
In general, all the good stuff goes directly to eBay
now. I'm not going
out of my way to make it in October. The show is past its prime and on
the decline (IMHO).
Every show I manage to find some decent good items - perhaps you are
just too late. Then again, I am generally the second guy in line.
Anyway, the real secret to the MIT Flea is not about finding good
deals on vendor tables...
