online list of camera swap meets ?

Hmmm...I'll be following this thread with interest as I've been wondering about the presence of such meets/shows in the greater Boston area.
 
I did a Google search on "camera shows" and it brought up Photorama. They seem to sponsor a bunch of giant camera shows around the country. Nearest one to me is DC. :( Probably a good thing, though.

While I was living in Southern Calif, the Sequoia Athletic club in Orange County had a monthly meet. I heard that they no longer do. Is that true? Nowdays, your best bet is the Shutterbug magazine listings, and flyers at your local camera shops. We have a large one up here in Puyallup next Sunday (April 23) but I can't make it. The boss (Sharona) has me doing an all day wedding shoot. Good $$$ though.

Russ,

The camera show venue has moved to Carson, CA. I was there today and held many beautiful and wonderful cameras. The owners of the Sequoia Club filed for bankruptcy a few months ago so they had to find a new location.
Today was the first time I have been to the new location, it's a bit further than before, but can be worth the drive because there are more vendors there than at the Pasadena show that I normally go to.
I saw many Leicas, Canons, Nikons and Bessas...I even saw a Hermes Limited Edition Leica (#045 of 500) He wanted $6000 for the New/Mint camera outfit. I touched it...well, I touched the plastic bag it was inside of.
Side note for Russ...I live in So. California but because of my job I have worked all over the U.S. and many other countries. One of my co-workers used to live in Puyallup, now he lives in Graham, WA. John said that the reason he moved to Graham was that Puyallup was getting too city-fied for him. I've been to both places and they're both in the deep woods for me.

Eric,

www.shutterbug.net/tradeshows/ has a good list of shows in it.
