If any of the out of towners need a place to put a trailer I have room for 2 or 3. I'm just 2 blocks away.

I might need to steal some garage space the day before. I have no trailer and too much stuff to bring in one trip. If ya got room I could start shuttling my goodies to Haysville.

I'm tempted to make this drive...

Are there deals to be had (enough to buy some for me, and buy some to sell to pay for gas)?

I doubt I'd bring anything to sell once there, but maybe...

We had 20-30 folks selling stuff last year, I am expecting even more this year. There will be a large selection of treasures to be taken home.
 
Yes I am expecting an even bigger turnout from last year. I believe the Bicycle movement in The Wichita area is still on the rise, especially the vintage and custom stuff. It seems more and more people are looking for vintage parts and bikes (and just bicycles in general thanks to the gas prices)

I do know of several parts (and bikes) that had multiple owners throughout the day... a new guy would arrive and people would descend on him like a hungry pack of wolves, deals would be struck and in a matter of minutes his truck was emptied... then the parts got traded back and forth all day long. It was quite a sight to behold!

I bought a complete vintage Western Flyer for $40, and I did get an offer from a guy wanting to buy it later in the day, but I hung onto it. :mrgreen:
