RCCD Swap Meet Sunday, January 26, 2025

I'm not a sponsor, just a customer.

But, I'll be at L'Anse Cruiese High School in Macomb Township, MI tomorrow to browse through modeling stuff people want to sell and maybe even sell some of my hoard. 

This event was formerly at the K of C Hall in Warren.

I went to the swap meet and, as usual, met many of the CL flyers from the area. As always, there was a significant amount of CL, FF, plastics, boat and other non-RC stuff for sale.   This meet only goes three hours, from 9 AM to noon.

Unlike Toledo, there weren't many dedicated buyers there, mostly sellers who might pick something up if they get the urge.

It's clear that the swing to electrics has brought A LOT  of piston engines, engine gizmos, props, and spinners into the resale market.
Also, the deluge of cheap foamies have triggered a wood model & kit selloff.

But the sellers still think they can demand premium prices for stuff they want to dump.  Hence, not a lot of sales volume.
