Ooo... I'd like to see a Commodore flea market. 

I remember going to flea markets back in the late 80s in Portland, when you could find a lot of Commodore items being sold.

Well, not a real flea market at the Netherlands C= Show.  Just a table or two with lots of C=/Ami stuff on top of it.

Good enough for me!

We had to add two extra 'free tables' at the World of Commodore. Sort of looked like a flea market and I was amazed and pleased to see that everything was taken. I put out a lot of stuff I could have eBayed but I figured that someone might get a kick out of finding something valuable just sitting there for the taking.

Time to start accumulating goodies for next year...

Hey, Andrew, by the time of the Jan. 11 SCCAN meeting, I should have my edited June Netherlands C= Show video ready.  You'll be able to see those flea market tables in the background, along with my interview with Gideon Zweitgzer of the 1541-Ultimate.

                   Already wanting to go another Netherlands C= Show,
