Here's the current vendor list:

No jeep vendors (aka MD Juan crap)?? Usually Army Jeep Parts, Naftzinger or DeBella shows up.

VoV will be there... but it seems that they never have anything new.

TIP: All the really good stuff is sold during vendor set up. Unless you get a table and are there the 'day before' you really are only fighting for the scraps or are paying a 5x mark up.

At Aberdeen I was looking over some cargo covers (used, $75) and the guy had the nerve to tell me that he got a NEW IN BOX cargo cover for $150 the day before that he would see me for $500. I declined.

Did anyone go?

I didn't. 5 hour drive plus I was able to order the parts I need off ebay for less than a gallon of gas in shipping.

I doubt that vendors would have had what I really needed (M35a2 spindle nut locking tabs).

Sadly, swap meets are horribly un-usefull now a days. The vendors getting all the good deals during set up, events basically end at noon on Saturday, and paying retail price (or worse... EBAY PRICES) for parts makes it harder and harder to justify the time/expense.

Did anyone get a good deal on anything??
