People are no longer shopping for hand-me-downs but specific toys and designer brandname clothing. Also sellers have become more sophisticated, home-made products, designer items. There are lots of other places to get a fair price for their goods Ebay, Craigslist, so be fair. Swap meets have become sophisticated over the years.

They really are a great opportunity to meet and talk to other parents and get some good stuff cheap. I hope you manage to initiate one in your area, it could become a tradition!

The sellers get to empty out their closets and earn some extra cash, and the buyers get to buy some great toys and clothes at great prices (if they follow my strategies!) :-) Thanks for your comment, Vincent. @Julia, indeed swap meets are great for parents, both on the selling side and on the buying side.
