Craig,

I know you have access to plenty of space. Being that it is a city environment, you NEED to confirm to those who travel that there is a space available.
If a collector is prepared to travel hundreds of miles to attend, CONFIRM THEM A SPACE OR TWO. If you want the swap to grow, this is essential.

Love the swap,
John

And this is why people do not want to travel far out of fear they will not have a spot Craig. Last June I travelled over 1,700 mile to be there; I spoke over over half a dozen people from Michigan, Ohio, and New England who called you but then decided not to come because you would not save them a spot. People traveling any distance want to know they have a confirmed space.

Its first come first serve and we will not run out of spots,,,,5 parking lots no one has ever been turned away,,,lots of space so no reason to reserve spots,,we will not run out..no one called me to ask about a reserve spot .We even have a lot behind the museum that can hold many vendors .

What i mean by they have been taken up is i only reserve spots for the food vendors.Never has anyone came to this swap meet and there was no room and never has anyone been turned away .No need to reserve spots

Thats total bullpoopoo doodoo ,,so your telling me you travelled over 1,700 miles to my event and you did not have a space or a spot i think not. My bike swap has never been filled and there is 3 extra parking lots i never had to use so no need for reserved space .The only spaces we have for reserve are for food vendors .I have never ever had anyone call me asked for a reserved space or they will not show up.The event has more than enough space ,,,,,,,,,

 

[BICYCLE HEAVEN]

That's why I'm not going.
[/QUO ,,LET ME UPDATE THIS AND BE NICE,,,,DONT COME IF YOU DONT WANT TO,,,No reason to call ahead to reserve a space unless your a food vendor or special event .We have space no one has ever or will be turned away .

I had a great time this weekend at the Bicycle Heaven Bicycle Museum swap meet. Lots of nice bikes and parts for sale. Nice people, good prices, and a great location. There was plenty of space for vendors, patrons, and parking. The Museum truly is Heaven on earth. I got a lot of info on the early 80's 26" SE OM Flyer with 26" z rims that I picked up. A few of us his the streets and trails for a BMX ride through scenic Pittsburgh, PA. I can't wait until the next one.
