Just remember the PIR Swap starts Thursday, the day before the Expo Swap starts...Best chance at deals are Thursday morning at PIR and Friday morning at Expo. See ya there!

Re: Portland , Oregon Swapmeet
 

Are the two swap meets.......PIR and EXPO still run by two different fueding factions......

From my expereince it appears that the EXPO has always been the real deal.........and the guys at the race track were selling ???????????

Please elaborate if you will ????????

Re: Portland , Oregon Swapmeet
 

Yes, two different organizers. Expo used to be great but IMHO and many others the current people got to be a little to high and mighty (fees too high, too many dumb rules, etc). Some of the original organizers started the PIR Swap. Many of the loyal Expo vendors have switched to PIR and it gets better every year and Expo gets a little weaker.

Chuck, PIR has been getting better ,it opens on thursday for the public ,its more laid back and muddier and alot of the long time expo vendors are moving to it . I heard PIR has been sold out for awhile. I go to PIR on thursday and do the expo Fri/Sat/Sun. It does have more then it fair share of not really car parts but I like looking at other stuff as well . Expo holds a pretty big antique show 3 times a year I like going to .As with all swap meets you never know what you might find , as for NOS parts supply is dwindling and will continue till we have used it all up. A sad fact but true . I have still seen some neat options here though even on Sat. It might depends on which end you start on , I always here about stuff that sold from the side I did not start at https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif I would still rather go to the meet then evil bay , I like meeting the people and see the parts first hand .David

Do not forget rain gear along with the sunglasses and snowshoes . https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif Well according to the weather guessers rain on thursday ,morning rain friday then dry friday afternoon through sunday . But it is the NW so give it 10 minutes and it might change. Also heard that road construction on I.5 and delta park might make it slow going this weekend so watch out .
By the way I am in Hall D booth 3354 and 3355 if I am not there that means I am out helping someone or passing out flyers for our chevelle club show but my brother Len will be there so stop by and say HI
