Well, not really. We did try that at one of our July swap meets a few years back. (I brought over 70 TV sets, selling about a third of them, mostly at less than I originally paid for them.) Unfortunately there were not a lot of sales from the other TV sellers. Those that did bring sets mostly overpriced them for this market, leading to complaints from sellers that the buyers didn't want to pay their prices, and from buyers that said they could find sets cheaper elsewhere. I think most wanted to see what would happen, but by not bringing anything along themselves, yet expecting everyone else to bring stuff, they spoiled it. However, as you have noticed, our WARCI club must have about 10 members that are also on ARF & VK as TV collectors. And bringing TVs is welcome at any of our WARCI events. The only restriction is that we don't want TVs placed in the donation auction at the end of our swap meets, because if not taken, we must pay to have them recycled.
