You might want something with wheels to help carry your loot. And those light-duty luggage thingies just don't seem to have the load capacity. Two large parking lots are essentially a flea market, with folks selling new and used gear. In the gym it's all new stuff like a regular sales show. I spend most of my time wandering the parking lots. Admission is $10 on Saturday for both days, $5 on Sunday. My fiance and I already have our motel reservation for Friday and Saturday night so as to get an early start. They've got all sorts of stuff for sale at the swap meet. The four years I've been going I've seen damned near everything. And I always start at the wrong end and miss by minutes the deal I would have killed for. (Which is the wrong end? Whichever end I start from. By Definition.) There's new stuff. There's old stuff. The vendors are human. They'll charge what they think they can get. Sunday afternoon the prices drop. And the dumpsters are filled with the stuff folks don't want to drag back home and hobbyists going for those special bargains. It's not actually in Trenton. It's at Mercer County Community College. Can't help much with directions, as I've never been to Philadelphia in my life and I'm coming from up near Newark. There is a web site, <http://tcf.net> that has directions and maps. -- Ward Griffiths "Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest."
