Mick - each new market location is a learning curve..it took a while for Camberwell to evolve in layout.......

The next one will have more space in the middle, better signage for the food sales, and I'll see what I can do about hot chocolate...

Cheers

Well, I had a great day, it brought back so many memories of going to swap meets with my Dad when I was a kid. I dragged my begrudging partner along, but managed to keep her happy with a polaroid that looked in pretty good nick. I got a box of Fuji 160s from a rather surly gentleman. Also bought a brand new set of Ilford multigrade filters, shoulder bag and a box of portrait slides from a Melbourne model studio from the 60's from a very friendly fellow, as well as a simple old Meopta enlarger timer.

We had a bit of a chuckle at some of the price variances from stall to stall, it seemed you could draw a paralell between the grumpiness of the stall holder, and their idea of a 'fair' price (and willingness to talk about their wares too). Ended up getting the timer for much less than half of what two other stalls wanted for the same item, no haggling involved.

All in all, it was a great day, thanks Andrew.
