New Englanders, After reading Peter's message about the Monson Swap tomorrow I am getting excited. However, I do have a quick clarification/question about swap protocol.
I have only a couple of items available for trade; is it necessary to have a table for swapping activities? Also, I assume that there will be cash for goods exchanges going on along with the swapping. Am I correct on this?
This will be my first swap so any guidance is appreciated. I hope to meet some of you there. And if the atmosphere is anything like the Larz Anderson show it should be a great time.
