    How about a swap meet?

    As I tried to cram my most recent purchases into a cabinet today, I realized that I (probably like most of you) have a million little parts and accessorries that I no longer want or use.

    For me, these are items below $100 and to me, simply not worth the hassle of trying to communicate with potential buyers, coordinate and receive payment, and packaging them up and shipping them. (I have several Butler Creek flip up scope caps that I don't use for example)

    What about a good old fashioned swap meet? We can buy, sell, swap, give away, etc. these types of items.

    When I used to shoot IDPA at Prado, they did this once and a while and it was an easy and painless way to sell or buy the little things.

    I am not sure if we could use an existing swap meet as a venue (Cypress or Golden West Colleges for example) or we may want to link it to a shoot or meet.

    What say you?

    I doubt that will work because it will be full of guys like the one with that thread where he is trying to trade a bullet for my M1A SOCOM.

    Only difference is there will be thousands of those guys looking to trade a bullet or TAPCO pin on flash hider for my black rifles.

      How about calguns members setting up a table at the next gun show and any member who has items to sell can drop them off with a set price (consignment?). Items not sold and proceeds to be disperse at the end of the show. Maybe a BBQ after the show too. The person or group that mans the booth will be paid by commission from sales. ANYONE?
      Human life is the most precious of achievements on Earth. For one to choose not to protect and preserve it is to show the utmost disrespect for life.
