It got to be boring after a while and turned into a social event for me as that was the only time I saw some of the people. It is to bad as all shows and swapmeets for all hobies and trades have suffered over the years due to the internet and other publications. The early object of all these shows was to introduce new product and technology to the public and it is not needed now.That's a short-sighted way to look at it. I know I have a few things I've carried around for years - but for every one of those things I usually have at least half a dozen new ones that I've picked up in the meantime, maybe even since the last show. And I just mix the stuff all in together so I can pack it up that much easier at the end of the show.
