Guys, Gals, Germs and Worms,
These events and opportunities are where we get good stuff cheap. If you attend, don't be surprised if you see Calvin and I each carrying a transmission. And that will be after we go to a flea market at 4:00am. If anyone wants to ride along to the flea market let me know...
Dang. Wish I was closer! Let us know what you score!!!
I'm gonna need to hire a weightlifter to get me some stuff.

Thank you for the heads up for these events. Do you guys have a calendar of all, or just keep an eye on sources like facespace?
Do some gym work on the leg press and then take an ox yoke. Real men can carry a couple of LSs.
Are you allowed bags, buckets, anything like that? Seems like pulling a bunch of valuable small parts and bundling them would be a good way to go, too. How many Eaton superchargers can you carry??

I was really hoping that this place was on the good side of Pennsylvania.
Four hours and forty nine minutes away.
do they allow multiples, ie $100 for two people using straps to carry a mid-70's Caprice hood that is stacked with parts? me and my buddy Big John got a whole mess of stuff that way a long time ago.

I was also wondering if it's one trip, only, or can you go as many times as you'd like?
Are you taking orders for swap meet finds? I need some parts but my wife keeps my schedule jam packed.

How often do they run this event? The weekend of thanksgiving may be tough, but i am very interested.

We don't need a weight lifting trainer. I bought (2) 5.3s in Philadelphia for $100 and we carried them into the barn last night.

I build a calendar with the flea markets and other major events at the beginning of each year.

Yes on orders. You need to address the scheduling thing.

I tried to call you, rolled over to a recording.
Peel off a hood first; two people, $100, easy to carry lots of tonnage!

These sales are not around me, and I would probably explode my back or knee trying to carry an engine.

Huh. I got a couple spam calls from "Harlem, GA" today, but that's it. DM'd you my cell #. I think the last time we talked was on a land line on my end!
I like concept of these, but I’ve already had two hernia surgeries. I’m hoping to avoid a third.
They used to have a day like this in ft Wayne and it was always good. I got my 3rd t5 and gt40p heads this way. Lkq owns the yard now so no such luck
