Your in for a treat. Takes a good hour to hour and half to go completely through all the buildings. And you will still miss stuff. One piece of advice. If you see something you want / need, haggle for the best price and if you can live with it, you better buy it. I cant count the number of times I would find something, get a good price, and then walk around a bit to think it over, only to come back and it would be gone. More than one time in one trip. Deals are there, you just have to work at it
Have fun and post what you got !

RE: Perry Swap Meet
I am looking forward to it. This will be my first year attending since I moved only 3 hours away it's way to close to pass up! I hope to pick up some electric stuff or a plane or 2 to convert to electric power.

RE: Perry Swap Meet
We made it! Left Tampa at 8Am and went to the Warner Robbins AFB museum. Met a fgew RC modelers there, we talked selling and swapping, but no sales. Technically, the swap meet has started then, maybe next year the early ones can meet at the museum for the "swap meet before the swapmeet". Gonna be tough sleeping thinking of all the possible deals in the morning.

RE: Perry Swap Meet
I am one of them, got lots of motors. No room in the car for any planes. On the other hand, lots of high prices for the nicer stuff. I will try and go next year. 1000 miles!!

RE: Perry Swap Meet
Day 2 of Perry about to begin. We arrived at the site early and were in the building right away. Lots and lots of people walking the isles and sold several things. Got good prices for some things, sold most of it cheap, just the same way I like to buy things. Looking forward to today. Saturday morning is said to be even busier than Friday morning. I dont want to bring anything home that I brought to sell. I will strip the nextstar of the E-flite motor and electronics and leave the airframe if I have to. Only bought one aircraft and a few trinkets so far, today, could be very different. They open at 8AM today, we will be in place and ready to swap as soon as possible.

I picked up a Kadet Senior ARF and a Hangar 9 P40 ARF that were both NIB as well as a small electric Beaver that is RTF for good prices. It was a good day!

RE: Perry Swap Meet
Just got home from Perry, I sold three airplanes, six kits, two simulators, and lots of parts and trinkets. All the items of any consequence that I took sold. I was willing to cut prices and wheel and deal to get items sold that I just didn't want to bring home. End result was that I was able to buy a nice new just test flown Pacific Aeromodels Knockabout low wing sport plane and return with a pocket full of cash. Out with the old, in with the new, and some extra loot to boot!!! I love Perry!!!! Hope everyone else did as well and had a good time in the process. See you next year.
