You've noticed this decline as well? :-( Interesting hackish things
seem to be getting more and more difficult to find a hamfests. The
last one I went to had very little, and most I've been to, I've seen
people going around buying large quantities of things,
indiscriminantly, just to snap them up, apparently to resell on e-bilk
or squirrel away in storage... or even to sell them at 200-percent and
much higher, mark-ups at the same hamfest. Disgusting.
