OBSERVATIONS: Interesting. 
- half the size of last year...if that is possible.
- most stuff for sale was the nice attitude:  "If it sits in my basement it is worth nothing.  If I sell it for $5.00 I have money for 3 coffees next week".
- half the tables were priced "anything more than zero gets it out of my house".  Normally only 1/4 of the tables have this attitude.
- Old but flyable IC motors were not selling at $5.00! (OS FP40 with muffler).  Most of us started with that $100 motor on our first trainers 30 plus years ago.

Went and left happy with $300 retail new stuff for $25.00
- 4 new Graupner nylon power props (10" diameter)- $2.00 total!
- 4 sealed rolls of covering- $10...total!
- brand new Castle Creations 45 amp ESC, never used but no package- $5.00  (retail; $85 plus tax)
- Phasor inrunner BL motor in good shape 350 watts- $5.00- retail was over $80 when it came out.
