Swap meets seem to be making a resurgence. Maybe it’s the inordinate amount of cheap junk clogging the web options. Maybe it’s the growing number of unscrupulous online sellers. Maybe it’s a sign that buyers are tired of competing with the rest of the world.

Another buyers tip: if you decide not to buy that part you need, get the sellers contact info! Chances are, you may change your mind in a day or two, and he also may change his mind re price if the thing doesn't sell!
I once passed on a pair of 48IDA Webers, then called a few days later; the price had dropped markedly. A 40 mile drive to pick them up still saved a bunch of money.

Yeah, good tip.
Earlier this year, I attended a guitar show with a friend. Afterward, I posted some photos on my Instagram.
That evening, I got a note: Hey, I was looking at that very guitar in your photo but didn’t get the dealer’s name, so any chance you know?
Turns out I had another shot that showed the dealer’s name, so they were able to find the guitar.
