Subject: [CR]RE: Madison Wisconsin Swap -- Not so good...

Hi All: Yes, I was at the swap and would give it a "C-Rating." Actually, I spent a grand total of $10 on a set of gen-1 Chorus brakes... good deal... but bought nothing else at all. Stuff of vintage worth was either too expensive or just not there. I ran into some other collectors who said that they just didn't bother to bring their stuff because E-Bay makes the market better. There is also the fear of things simply "walking-away" from the table. Yes, that has happened to me too. Anyway, I did manage to get rid of a couple of hundred $s worth of junk..not vintage...so I ate well that evening. Madison is full of super restaurants. Also, I went Sunday to the capitol square and watched the XC ski races -- they'd trucked in tons of snow and covered the streets. Awesome. Ciao, Mark .```Stevens Point, WI
