Yeah, what is with the south Island these last several years? Lack in base interest? No hobby time? Maybe too many tv shows showing how you too can "make big $$" on well-used stuff?
And then there's over-priced car stock where so many guys hired out their work so they have something pretty to show off.
I remember not that long ago when the swap meet had all sorts of nifty car & truck stuff, and it was more of a share event (read: swap meet) than a gouge event. There was even a guy in an old pickup who sold Echlin electrics out of the back, and at reasonable prices. I heard he's no longer with us and someone else bought his stuff up and moved it to a more profitable venue (read: USA).
Nah, I won't go to those meets anymore -- not worth the time. Now local garage sales ..much better luck :-)
