There were certainly some deals to be had a T-town. Non-collector types are happy to part with their used old junk. A few examples of what unidentified buyers picked up: Nice Confente Pro Pista: $500 VGC 50th Anniversary group with 2-bolt SR post instead of 50th post: $200 Unused but slightly corroded Mexico crank w/ mint Derosa Panto ring: $50 Complete set of VAR and Cobra cutting tools (including the OS headset stuff): $300 Wheelset w/ VGC 1963 Record hubs, fair Fiamme red labels: $30 VGC Campy SL post, very light scratches: $8 Early Record brake levers (longer reach), no hoods, VGC/EX $10 Late SR rear der EX mechanically, some scratches: $5 There were lots of deals to be had.

This is interesting because I thought T-town was such a success this year. Even for vintage stuff, I heard no one complaining. The buyers lined up early and came on strong. The sellers were there to sell- make me an offer- I wouldn't schlep this stuff here if I wanted to leave with it.
I had a ball selling to the messenger crowd. If they really liked or needed a part they got a sweet deal.
We sold half our stuff and I bet that was typical.
The cash machine ran out as usual but then they had some deal with the snack bar or something as the T-town national bank.
Lot's of momentum for the new spring swap.
