Swap meets getting a little better each year Ronnie does great with the car show decent amount of cars in the auction good amount of vendors in the swap shop overall a great experience
I had a Vendor Space at the show and not pleased at all with the event and organizers. The Vendor Spaces are too small and you are forced to buy multiple spaces to park your vehicle and trailer. They are terrible at booking spaces! They will doublebook spaces, give your regular space to another Vendor, they invite certain vendors and let them set up for free! Give some free extra spaces when they purchase 2 or more, charge different prices to different vendors fir the same space. They will book vendors selling the same merchandise next to each other. They only positive thing at the shoe was a catered dinner fir the Vendors. However. This is not enough to bribe me to return. Do not recommend this show to both Vendors or Customers!
Very friendly and helpful staff great vendors and customers. The people running the show have treated all of the vendors very well and they even gave us a appreciation dinner tonight it was great thank you.
Most of the stuff for sale there was just old junk that you wouldn't want and they top dollar for EVERYTHING. I WENT THERE WITH THE WIFE OF KID THERE WAS NOTHING FOR THEM EXCEPT A BUNCH OF OLD RUSTY STUFF. Plus they didn't have any food stands which was beyond my belief
Save yourself $10 , and go to the dump, you'll have a better chance at a car that's decent. The nicest cars are in the parking lot and the "swap meet " is mostly non car related garbage . This "car thing" gets worse every year. Trash and garbage in the car coral that's not even worth $10. . Total waste of time and money.
Changing the dates from Nov. To Oct. Not going to be good. It's always been Nov and Mar. Vendors and spectators are creatures of habit. I would suspect spectator count will be low. From several hundred vendors to less than 100 shows that theory. We used to work Moultrie,Ga, Zephyrhills the next week then the Daytona Turkey Run. The big shows back to back. Now it's totally spread out.
Hardly any vendors there to speak of.
Bumper boys used to always be there but they don't come there anymore either.
The auctioneer was so hard to understand you didn't know what he was saying. They took so long auctioning off each item I thought they'd never get to the cars they were more interested in signs and other paraphernalia. We all just left.
Not going back next year.
Swap meet 1/2 the size of the last 2 years. Not worth the drive over. I didn't attend the auction, so maybe that is worth it, but the swap meet is failing.
The sale was smaller than normal. I am sure it is all part of COVID. What was there was alright. Definitely a place to go if you are in search of car parts or a car.
If you are a car enthusiast, the Zephyrhills Auto Events car show, Swap Meet & auction is the place to be! It's a nice way to spend the day cruising the swap meet for vintage signs, memorabilia, pedal cars, and parts. Grab a slice of New York Pizza while looking at the car corral and if you are in the market for car, the auction has plenty to look at and bid as they go across the stage.
So, the atmosphere is a bit different then recent years. 10$ isn't a total waste but I'd reconsider. Don't expect to find anything of interest if you assume past years.
I've always enjoyed this show. I continue to support Craig and Joann at this show, even if the show has gone down a bit, as they all have. Look what Carlisle did when they pulled out. They really hurt themselves. I think a real car enthusiast should help try and build these shows up instead of beating them down and giving negative feedback.
10 Bucks I will never get back! total waste, took less than 1 hour. Mostly Junk Dealers I walked right past them. What is with all the FLEA Market Vendors at a CAR SWAP MEET? I swear there were more flea market/garage sale junk vendors than REAL car parts. Sumpter is getting just as bad too. NEW FLASH "Car Show Swap meet" host... No one wants the Flea Market & Junk Dealers at a CAR SHOW! notice the word "CAR" is in the title????. Oh By the way...Don't get me started on the prices these guys want for their parts. Ebay is a better show and much better deals.
This event is like an overpriced junk collection...I've been going since the late 80's and have watched it decline in both quality and price...vendors are always late to open and early to close...I see no car parts in many of the spaces...10 bucks to get in is a rip off...I remember when bargains and rare parts were the norm...I'll stick to the Lakeland event thanks
TOTAL WAStE OF $10 and time!!! Vendors either not there or packing up early..... if you want a BBQ grill they got em! Lots of non car related junk ! Prices way too high , can buy on line cheaper nicer and not deal with $10 admission horrific parking and traffic jams , food outrageous price then I found out why ... the price they are charged to set up is unbelievable !!! I can see why Carlisle pulled out! Don't waste your time! Spend it on line or at the Carlisle event now in Lakeland!! No class here what so ever.
Complete waste of time for car parts! 1 vendor for my car, can order online and not pay the entry fee. No map or list of vendors, very poorly organized. Not a single tire dealer at event.
