I will be there! Its 20 minutes from my house, I've been to the last 4 of them. Managed to build a g1 jetfire from parts from a few different dealers for about $30. Good stuff to be found, that's for sure!

I never know whether to get there at the opening bell to make sure I don't miss any deals or to get there at the end when people are motivated to make a deal. It is hard to spend the whole day there, 2-3 hours and I'm spent. Maybe I'll take a break midday and go watch the Bears game some place.

I go early out of fear of not getting what I am looking for lol! I usually start at the outdoor tables and make my way into the main building. But yes, 3 hours is my max. I usually troop build and try to work the seller down by the bulk of my purchase. If I can shave $5 off the total I am happy.
And why does it always have to be wet and cold!?!?!
