"Most of these guys don't want to sell their
stuff on eBay,"
said Mark Bohrer, an engineer who's worked at several area tech companies.
"They think eBay's a rip-off."
sure.. majority of stuff there wouldn't move on eBay. The stuff that will
is over there. 1/3 of the stalls are generic flea-market stuff. This
flea, like all the others, has been castrated by eBay. It's mostly just a
social event now.
But for most who have been coming to Cupertino for
years,
it's unimaginable that the flea market could disappear.
The REAL old-timers still call it Foothill,
which is in Los Altos Hills, not Cupertino.
It has only been on the DeAnza campus for a
couple of years.

Sorry to hear about it. I used to enjoy the Foothill College meet;
you could never tell what you'd find. I remember trying to squeeze
two 19" Daisy Systems monitors into the back seat of a friend's
Buick.
Cheers,
