I'd agree, it's much the same way here.  The indoor only 'fests (or
rallies :) are never as rewarding as those that allow outdoor (and
generally no-charge) sales.  In fact I rarely even look inside as it's
mostly retail vendors these days, or the "professional" junk-sellers.

Also right-on about the PC factor.  "Oh, you're into old computers,
eh?  Well I've got this pallette of 286 clones back here...."
