Dollar Figure of Items at TCA York Meet

To us, billions!

 

To people that collect Beanie Babies:  $0

 

My estimate, based on asking prices:  $7.5 million 

 

($5000 per table/space x 1500 spaces).  Some people are selling small items that in total are $200, one guy brings 100,000 in stuff.  So I used a guestimated average).

Hey mikey

PRICELESS !!!

I HAVE wondered that, and I have wondered: "how much does all this junk weigh"

and "how long a train of how many 40 foot boxcars would all this fill"?

In most dealer's minds, old trains $5 Billion. In actuality, $1 Million, give or take.

It would be interesting to know how much of the train industry sales come from York alone.
Lots of trucks unloading Wednesday tons of product all day long.

As the saying goes, One mans trash is another mans treasure.  I saw quite a few tables of stuff I would not haul away if it was given to me and several that I would take everything.  That's just my take.

jmiller:  I saw much of that stuff hauled away, in the same trucks that brought it. 

As the man from Trainworld says: "The more you buy, the more you save!"  My wife says: "The less you buy, the more money you keep!"
