Tentative: VHS swap meet/yard sale - Saturday, 13 June

I know I can’t be the only one with hundreds of spare parts, aborted projects, unused devboards, etc laying about. Would there be any interest in setting one day [or even a weekend] aside to bring your unloved bits and projects down to the space and trade/sell/barter/beg amongst ourselves? Or perhaps a Saturday as members only and sunday open to the public?

This just sounds terrific! I would love to get a chance and get my hands on some interesting / unwanted projects…All those bits and pieces might just be the missing piece to the puzzle :slight_smile:

Saturday or Sunday would either work for me.

I am certain that I wouldn’t be the only one finding this an exiting idea?

Cheers

I think its a great idea!!!

Alright… lets set a date then. Next weekend is Maker Faire, want to set it for the weekend after that? People will have some new ideas for projects, want to clear some space and/or shopping for something new and fun…

Tentative date: Saturday 13 June

  • Buy/sell/trade anything “VHS related” and we’ll use that term very loosely, but please lets not make this a complete junk sale.
  • Table space by ($5?) donation to VHS on the honor system
  • If there is enough interest we can look at getting 105
  • We should set aside one of the giant trash bins for e-waste for after the event and run it to the Hackery
  • we may as well have a box to collect dead batteries on display while we’re at it

Nope! It’s the weekend after next ( next weekend is May 30 & 31st, weekend after that is June 5th & 6th – Makerfaire! ).

Otherwise, I’d be freaking out from all the prep I still have to do :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m down for a swap meet though. I’ve got some stuff I can sell.

Today isthe 25th. The 30th is THIS weekend, the 6th is next :wink:

Four hours of sleep does not a smart person make. ( I need more sleeeeeeep ).

I didn’t see it on the calender. Is this still happening?

Apparently not. Nothing came of it. If people are interested, I’ll organize but not for a couple weeks. This weekend is the only one I was free out of the next couple and I dropped the ball
