Subject: DDRC Boot Sale
OK, point taken - thanks Andrew. Should have defined DDRC :-)
I think the DDRC sale is pretty unique, in that the vast majority of
traders are just normal people off the street selling their
radio/computer-related junk, with very few dealers stalls. Usually
it's the other way round. Are there other radio "boot sale" events
like this?
