November 18th from 9am until 4pm (or until the last person leaves?). The swap meet is THE place to kick some tripods and make some deals. And yes, it is open to the public, so tell a friend (and everyone else!).
This year’s selection of donated offerings features telescopes and accessories from basic entry scopes to nearly turnkey observatories. Everything to advance your enjoyment of our wonderful hobby (read: “obsession”). Item prices range from $1.00 to over $10,000, with items ranging from stocking stuffers to full observatory ensembles. So, bring cash and checks (with proper ID). All proceeds from donated items benefit HAC.
Do bring your own scopes and astro stuff to sell and or trade. For those of us who have indulged in this hobby for some time it is also be a great time to clear out underused scopes and observing niceties and get them to others that can use and cherish them.
Tables will be available on a first come basis the morning of the sale. Some of us will be there early so you can set up before the 9am opening.
HAC does not charge for selling space but does appreciate cash donations from participants’ sales.
