Unfortunately I have to work and we're dealing with an issue right now.

This was the first flea market I had ever gone to, years ago.

I have a bunch of small stuff I'm getting ready to sell, but won't be ready in time. I wish I had more notice.

Do they still have a flea market at the tech school on the Cape?

I plan to be at the first MIT Flea in April and maybe Deerfield if possible.

Not a ton of stuff to sell, but stuff I've accumulated over 40+ years.

I might actually be able to make it!

I've never been to this one. Think there's much appetite for Motorola gear, or is that too niche at a smaller event? I have a kind of ridiculous accumulation of HTs right now from a few different "I can't pass up that deal" situations; I've been meaning to list them on eBay but haven't. I'm tempted to just come and browse rather than bringing a few boxes of stuff and getting a table for just a few hours. (But, I can help people become cool kids on 70cm P25, if they don't mind hex-editing CPS for some S-split XTS1500s. )

Yes, that's held in early November

[garys]

Thanks. I haven't been to that in years. Look like MIT will the first one I'll get to this year.

Yes, that's held in early November

Good seeing you all! Plus I got to see everything from an HT-200 to a VP8000.

Did any of you end up buying that bin o' HTs for $25?
