The WAMS Swap meet is one of the oldest and largest swap meets and auctions in the southwest. Our 29th YEAR!!!
The WAMS 2016 Swap meet and auction will be:
Friday March 18th & Saturday March 19th, 2016

Reserved Table Vendors get special early access for setup. Reserved Vendor tables are $17 each
per day Non-reserved tables are $12
but do not get early entry and setup access. We almost sold out last year (hint, hint)
Our 2016 swap meet will be even bigger and better than ever. We've
added more vendor space and more areas to browse.
Non-reserved tables are "catch as catch can" and we can't guarantee that a space will be available. That's why we recommend that you reserve your table if you are going to attend as a vendor.
Entry fee is
$7.00 for adults each day and free for children under 12. Non-reserved table rental
is $12 per day. Concessions are available both days with sandwiches, hot
dogs, soft drinks and other foods.
On Friday, we start
the setup at 5:00 PM with a great swap/trade night for the modeling
enthusiasts. (Reserved Table vendors get access at 4:30 pm, everyone else at 5:00 pm) Some of the best deals are made on Friday which runs
until 9:00PM. You may leave items over night in the building.
Saturday we start at 8:00AM and go until the last radio is raffled off
after the auction which is around 3:30 - 4:00. Auction starts about
Noon. Many hours of great deals and trades. Even if you don't need
anything this event is something just to observe. You see things about
modeling you did not know about or had not seen is many years. Also, a
Security Patrol is provided while the meet is in progress.
Saturday
auction starts at noon, and goes until we run out of items. WAMS
collect a 10% sellers fee if the item is sold. No charge for no sales.
Items can only be auctioned once. We except items for auction up to the
time it starts. We auction in order that the items are received. So, if
you need to leave early or need money to bid on another item register
your item early.
We have always had great radios to raffle
because people like winning one and for a small investment you could go
home with a new 6 channel radio. There are 2 radios raffled off. The
first goes at the start of the auction. The second goes after the
auction is over. Every paid admission ticket includes an entry into the
drawing for a Futaba radio. You need not be present to win. Additional
tickets for the drawings are available for $1.00 each or 12 tickets for
$10.00.
