| Are there any differences between this swap and the one held in Milwaukee? I have been to both show venues but not yet to either swap meet. I do have a small number of things to trade/sell. Any details about past swaps would be great just to prepare myself for sorting and pricing ahead of time.
Cost?
Number of tables available?
Must you have own table in order to enter?

| YOU HAVE,,,,,to get there early!!!!! Ive been every year since 2000,,,,, whatever the start time is people will be there an hour to an hour and a half early so to assure to get a table to layout your stuff get there early,,,Guys are like a musky on a reef in november chasing down ciscoes when you walk in with your stuff they will follow you to where you stop to get the good stuff,,also order food right away cause its usually a while,,and dress light it gets hot in the room,,,,
Has far has comparing CHI/MILW
I have noticed that asking prices by guys on their stuff are a bit higher in CHI so you may want to price your stuff a little higher at first then adjust llater on.
Everbody and their brother will have Depthraiders,suicks,Ernies.average size matted hair bucktails so dont expect to get anything more then half price on those.
theres no charge at either that Im aware of sometimes they have a fundraiser for something that you can choose to be in

Location: oswego, il | Both swaps are gold alot of different people,at both means more baits to choose from. Early is good and a table will be descended upon as the baits are laid out. Late is another good time as alcohol and people not wanting to take stuff home creats some great deals. |

| Is anyone planning to bring their old, gently used red bull dawgs? If so, I'm interested. PM me if you'd like so I know to look for you. Thanks much! And thanks to the organizers of this outstanding event. The only suggestion is to request that the managers of the Officials Time Out staff accordingly. Food is excellent there, but service is slower than slow. Hope lots of us show up to buy and sell!  |
