More sellers than buyers - poorly advertised.

They need to find another date. There is a vw swap same day in Sacramento that has been going on since the 70’s.

I showed up around 11:45 to 12PM, about 6 or 7 sellers there putting there stuff away.

I did score a steering column assembly with keys for free from Jon Watts, then I bought a rebuilt pedal assembly from him for $50 after we had lunch at Kaspers hot dogs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Bummer about the attendance being so low, hopefully next year it'll be bigger.

Nice to see and talk to Martin Baker as well.

I managed to sell a few items, but agree that there were probably more sellers than buyers! On the plus side, most sellers had something interesting / novel and there was a high Porsche content. Met a couple of people from the forum too.

Now the Partsheaven swap meet seems to have gone - not so many options (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Truth be told I was there from 8-9 and followed Rich from High Performance House fill up his van with bumpers, rims, dash’s, center consoles etc. ect.

There was some good deals there so like anything the early bird gets the worm, looked about the same attendance as Bruce’s swap meets in Riverside other then it wasn’t exclusive to 914s. As far advertising, it was on this site along with several 914 websites to include Pelican so that’s a non issue. Hey I was there and I live in So Cal.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Sac Drag Strip is going away, and I think the LAST Bug O Rama here in Sac is coming down the pipe, but I also heard it may go one more year. Also heard it was going to move to Redding. More questions than answers, rumors are its going to be new houses...but what ever the organizer of the Swap in Concorde knew it would conflict with Bug O Rama, but its what was available.

Maybe don't do it on the holiday weekend. Maybe the second weekend in September would be better. I was going to go but this weekend was bad timing for me. We took a 200 mile Harley ride as we already had that scheduled.

So o spent 5 hours pulling all my stuff out of storage the day before, I saw that there were more swappers than buyers. I would say 70% swappers 30% true buyers. After the first hour I started dropping prices, as I really didn’t want to put it back.

You know it’s a low turnout when I start selling to 914 specialty shops at below cost.

On the other hand I took all the parts out took pictures will post here later in the next coming weeks.

I sold the late bumpers front and rear to rich got $60 bucks I just didn’t want to carry them back.

I spent another 2 hours unloaded what wasn’t sold lol!!!

As for bugorama , yeah I heard the rumors. I used to love going to find all the deals, then there was this thing called ebay .

There are now many outlets to sell parts, 914world , samba , pelican , Craigslist and pure luck. I don’t have the time to search google maps for vws and Porsche’s lol!!!

I appreciate everybody who came out and showed their parts. Great to see the 914 folks as always. We just wanted one part, but we threw some stuff in a wagon and took it out there. I ended up in a swap for the top I needed, and sold four parts out of my wagon for $100. Maybe saw a dozen people from the site, or more.

Did anyone bring a complete, ready to run engine? Doesn't have to be a 2.0.
