My review of the Swap Meet

ahh yes the swap meet in tacoma a place i grew up in i watched it go form a place where rednecks sold confederate flags and pow mia flags to now where they sell confederate flags and pow mia flags. a lots changed from the 80s .
Photobucket

but in all honesty it has changed a bit less veitnamese people and more mexicans but still its a fun eye feast of piles of junk..
>
i found one guy sellign items form a storage unit somone could not pay their rent on.. now its contents strwed in the parking lto of the swamp meet
all items in this box 1.00$ its fillld with with dead spiders and alredy colored coloring books
and yet another box full of komo tv ice scrapers.. (komo tv isa local shitty news channel )
Photobucket
this was jsut box one of thousands of these things...
wtf were they for? i mean who has that many ice scrapers made ?, weird .

my favorite was the boxs of old used medical instruments.. most of them really rusty..
nothing like old rusty medical equimpment 1.00$ each. should have seen the look on their faces when i bought some of it.

Photobucket

but all the piles of weird junk was nto as interestign as i thought it would be
actully the stuff inside the swap meet was better. some really weird (handcrafted) items form a chiniese factory were pretty interested. like who the hell would find this thign cute.?
Photobucket
lip stick on a pig? and high heels ... ok ...

i love army toys i dont know why i jsut always have. heres one i found really interesting
TRoops.. i have no idea why the TR is capitalized.

Photobucket
i like his italian flag.
but i guess being italian makes you lack a sense of propourtions
i mean look at the size of his gun as relatize to his hand?
also his raft.. my god hed look like 30 lb man sittign ina kiddie pool in that thing..
i mean he would ride that raft like a skateboard...
actully he just sink..

i found so many statues of jesus it was a little insane.. all made in china..
the kingdom of heavin is yours for 25.99

one guy was selling tons and tons of mexican wrestlign masks
i dont know why or what for. or why he thought tacoma wasa good place ot unloada
