It's Official! We're having another Swap meet here in Atlanta on April 28th, 2012. All of the details are being worked out, but be sure to keep an eye on http://www.atlantapinswap.com . It's not just for Pinball - we've had some Vids and Vid parts show up as well. Oh, and it's FREE! By FREE we mean free to buy, sell, even get in. Come, play, buy, don't buy, whatever. All it costs is the gas to get there!

Also, if you have any suggestions (other than a different date), please PM me and I'll pass it on to the other two organizers.

Hope to see y'all there!

@!#@! Another one I'll miss. Haven't been able to make one yet. :(
 
Yey! Looks like a good weekend for me so I should be able to make it to this one.
 
We really tried to avoid other shows. There is Pinball at the Zoo in MI the week before and Allentown, PA the week after (well we think so - the Pinfest website sorta says it).

Vendors are starting to confirm. They like it because it's free! I wrote on a posting someplace that the only reason I could think of to miss it would be to see your kid being born. Otherwise, people just have to be there!
 
Any chance someone would be there selling the repro KISS playfields? I know Illinois Pinball would sell them at shows in the past.

Maybe Marco. You could call them and if they have any, ask them to bring one for you. I've done this with RottonDog and it worked out great!

We'll update our vendor list as people confirm.
 
Bump and Plug!

If you live in the south, please try and attend this event. We really want to make it a full blown convention in a few years and supporting this will make it happen. Plus, it's free!!!

Oh, and Paul and I will have 50 copies of our new video "Pins and Vids Episode IV, A New Hoax" available for sale. This is a shrinkwrap DVD with full packaging and we're still working on the price.

Plus, you get to meet MEEEE! (Just Kidding).

Hope to see you there!

A Little Bump...

We're getting close to the big day so I thought I would give the thread a little bump! I'm going to have my AFM with the ColorDMD available to play so if you can make it, please stop by! Did I mention it's FREE? It's even free if you're a vendor with a booth!

Hope to see you there!
 
That would be FREE - As in - No cost! Why is it free you might ask? A couple of us in the Atlanta area had been trying for years to get a venue set up. Out of the blue, Tim Christie comes along and says that he's got a large garage at his company that he can move the trucks out of and set up a show. He's a collector as well and since there's almost no cost to do it, he's willing to host it for free. I took over the "Publicity Department" and set up a WordPress website for Tim so he could easily update it. The last Spring event was really successful but the Fall event was a little light. We figured that a lot of sporting events were happening so it was a bad time to do it.

So come out - bring something to sell, don't bring something to sell. Buy something, don't buy something! Play some games, eat the free Pizza that Pins & Vids is supplying.

We don't know if we'll keep doing these, but get to it while it's available! For FREE!
 
*checks google maps* wow that's the other end of creation for me. I'd like to show but it's just too far right now and most of my savings just went into my new to me car...

That's what cars do, they drive you to the FREE Pinswap! Did I mention it was FREE?

(hehe)

PS - Sorry you can't make it - hope to see you at a future event.
 
I will be there... trying to figure out what to bring.....

should i bring non working cabinets to sell ?
laser cue to play?

i only have my truck with no trailer so i am very limited. Luckily I am very close to this location. only like 15 minutes either way from my house or storage.


is there a drop off time friday night?
 
Tim put this on the website:

"New this event you can also bring game/s on Friday from 4:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m."

I'm taking a 1/2 day off from work so I should be there Friday and Saturday most of the time.
