Interviews with different people at seller’s row while packing and leaving the swap meet. This tape, along with the next three, work well to present a comprehensive view of the swap meet from different angles. “I think every county should have a place like this. The people pay for this stuff.” “Man came out and said he was going to give us a ticket, fine and go to jail for six months if we didn’t pick up all our stuff.” An assortment of people are interviewed on this tape, a good cross section. The focus of the seller’s comments revolves around the constant difficulty in working the swap meet.
