Of late, I think the Ebay sales are dying away.
There's much less quality stuff on Ebay these days (and I'm a great Ebay
prowler...). Lots more junk, and cables, and duped manuals and the like,
far less
really nice stuff. The change of Ebay rules, the increase in the cost of
shipping (and the damage that comes free of charge) I think have affected Ebay.
OTOH, I'm happy to report the Raleigh hamfest last weekend was crammed, and
all tables were sold out it was very crowded, and people were buying.
Demographics, economics, energy costs, the "newness " of things all affect
our niche hobby.
Respectfully,
John K5MO

Take it or leave it Ebay and sites like it are here to stay ... but its
sad that the hamfests are dying away because of it. If I had the choice I
would rather have the hamfests back.
