bbtm64 · « **Reply #8 on:** August 29, 2013, 22:19:12 »

Player, I know of someone who may be getting rid of a 125. I'm not entirely sure if he's just going to a smaller size and keeping it for future use. I'll ask if you're interested.

Myreef55 · « **Reply #9 on:** September 09, 2013, 21:42:47 »

Any idea of the date?

Mussin · « **Reply #10 on:** October 05, 2013, 09:57:10 »

Myreef55 · « **Reply #25 on:** October 26, 2013, 22:08:05 »

No it is usually smaller but a very nice swap. Ryan does a great job and has very nice location. I got some great pieces and even had some good trading going on. I recommend everyone check this swap out if you can. I unfortunately wont be able to make it as my brother is getting married the same day.

All you have to do is show up. If you go to www.fragswapper.com and see something you want, you can have it held for you. Other than that, just show up and talk to everyone you can and have fun.

There may be some. Fragswapper gets a little crowded sometimes. Just try later. This swap is just an old school swap.
