Thread: Anyone find a bargain at Hershey?

  1. #1

    Anyone find a bargain at Hershey?

    I didn't go, but I'd like to hear whether anyone found a rarity, or a deal, at Hershey. I'm sure that everyone had their eyes open for the next hidden S/T project.

    I found some sheet metal to repair a small spot of rust for $5. Also picked up a box of wiring from Shaun69E for gratis. Didn't find anything rare though.

    I did sell a lot of things cheap. For anyone looking to sell at future events I'd suggest you not mark the price. At least that gets people asking you a question, and gives them more time to think about the purchase and or to haggle on price. Seemed like the parts I had marked for price people thought I wouldn't take anything less than what was marked.

    I know my lot mate Shaun gave away a lot of stuff towards the end of the day. I donated a pair of early trailing arms to someone.

    There were some very good deals there. I saw a nice set of deep six Fuchs for $1200, a pair of sport seats with mounts in excellent condition for $3200


    I purchase a early tool kit / jack , missing only the box end wrench, and oil hex. Two dash speaker covers, two antique fog lights and other odds and ends.

    And the find of the meet a ulta rare sport seat used in the 356 Carreras and 65-66 911s, that looks like a speedster seat.

    Hi,

    Does someone know the name/number of the (large) guy that was selling tool / tool kit on a small table in the second row ?

    Thanks !

    Not as good deal as last year, but my best buy was a nice set of H1 for 300$!

    We went to the Parkside Tavern after a spirited drive. Best food in Hershey, according to their sign. $4 for a burger. That was a deal and a half.

    Euro Tail Light

    I came across a Euro tail light at a good price even though I wasn't really looking for one. Excellent color including silver trim, no cracks and original hardware. Only some light scratches in one area. After removing the wrapping paper I found the document from Bosch that came with it in the bottom of the box. Neat little find.
