Stop Swap And Save Westminister MD 2/20/17
Want to get in early? Want to avoid lines, and get to the other vendors stuff first?
I picked up a single table and will have maybe one item for sale. I'm looking for 4 additional people to share $50 cost --- naturally there will be minimal room for sale items and only one chair.
I intend to use the table to store my purchases while I look for deals. Please contact me to sign up.

Thanks!

I've never been to this event yet, and I'm not sure what value it offers? I pretty much have everything I need..?

The Swap is where dozens of vendors (and individuals) bring bikes, bike parts, clothes, and everything bike related for sale. It is a true market where you can haggle for a good price. I sold for a couple years some surplus from my bike flipping and found it is a buyers' market. I sold things for 1/4 what I'd get on Craigslist.
Since then I go as a buyer, acquiring many parts for my own bikes, bikes to refurbish, and parts for my flip bikes. I've made plenty of money reselling on Craigslist and Ebay.
I will still bring a few items for sale, and have a table, but the real value for me is getting in early and having a base to store my purchases.
For example, I got a nice older set of Dura Ace wheels on a Cannondale (with a bent frame) for $80. I got CF drop bars, stem, and DA 10 speed brifters for $160 (originally close to $1k) that are now on my Kestrel.
There are a number of bike forum members (and other sites) that attend the show, so it's a good chance to meet up in person.

Without looking at a map I'm pretty sure you are just a short drive from Westminster. I highly recommend spending the low cost entry fee to come take a look.

1st -- The first post card I got was incorrect, they sent a second with the correct date.

I don't actually need anything right now, though there are a few "nice-to-have" items that might be helpful. (E.g. do you think I'd be able to find a PowerTap?)

I actually have a number of parts I have not used from 2016. I like to stock up on parts needed to restore/repair bikes I flip - such as saddles and bar tape.
