Now that York is confirmed for this fall, I may take my first trip to the meet. I am not a TCA member, so will be registering as 'guest' to gain access to the non-dealer rooms.
That being said I was hoping to find out a few more details about the meet, please feel free to chime in with your experiences at York!
Some things I am curious about:
- Did you attend as a TCA member or a guest?
- Are used items priced better than they are on ebay/stout/etc.?
- How well are modern Lionel/MTH/Atlas items represented in the show?
- Do bandit meets present better/different/special deals... or are they just an opportunity for people to sell stuff without having a table in the York meet itself?
- Which day presents the best deals?
- Is everything picked-over by the time Saturday comes around?
- Does anyone come with a "shopping list" of specific things that you are looking for?
- How diverse/ wide-ranging are the items that are being sold? - Are they more common items or are they items that are not regularly seen on the second hand market?
