Hello my fellow Jeep bretheren. I have had nemerous conversations with at least 30 plus Jeep enthusiasts about the topic of a swap meet--more clearly, a lack therof. So I aim to change that. I want to organize a Jeep swap meet open to anyone with spare parts to sell, whole Jeeps, or just looking for parts for their rig. I'm going to have it open to anything with the Jeep nameplate, '41-2012. I want to have a big fullsize showing, which is where you guys come in.
It's going to be held more than likely, at a flea market in Sparta Tennessee. It has approx. 350 10x10 booths, both indoor and out, plus a massive amount of parking lot and grassy field which i could likely procure for people to setup. I want this to be a weekend event, meaning Saturday and Sunday. However vendors are welcome to come Friday and set up their booths. The rebtal is as of the last time i checked (don't quote me on it) $15 per day, indoor, $25 per weekend. Outdoor is $15 per weekend. Additionally, they serve food there from a small indoor cafe, and they have an on-site ATM.
I am going to advertise on any Jeep-oriented forum I can find. I want this to be a large event. I would be looking for anyone willing to volunteer to help with the arrangements of all this, and with advertising, etc.
If anyone is interested, or even knows someone who may be interested, reply to this thread. Also if you have a general idea as to how many parts you will have to sell, let me know. I.E: trailor-load, pickup-load, or 2 or 3 spare trinkets. Give me your input regarding when you think the best time would be to hold this event.
I want this thing to go big, so tell your friends, and feel free to advertise this once we set a date and work out the details. Reply or private message with any questions or concerns.
