#BerlinGermany - #Berlin #Swapfest #6
Date & Time:
Sunday, 6 September, 2026 - 12:00 to 17:00c-base
Rungestr. 20
Berlin
Germany"In association with #CBase— the oldest discovered space station under Berlin — now long-running (30 years) #hackerspace, we're hosting a quarterly second-hand #electronics flea market.
In tune with the spirit of right-to-repair as well as reuse-reduce-recycle, the goal of the Berlin Swapfest is for people to bring electronics, equipment, and tools they no longer use but wish to bring to a good home. If you've been trying to find the perfect equipment to build your home-lab or looking for new electronic components, music equipment or tools, this is the place for you. #BerlinSwapfest is inspired by the #MITSwapfest, now celebrating their 40th anniversary.
We will try to make things educational and entertaining. Every so often we will pass a microphone around so those who want to swap items can elaborate on what they're offering and what their expectations are for the exchange. The Berlin Swapfest is a relaxed event where you can chat with and meet other like-minded individuals. Additionally, there is a bar where you can get beverages.
Yes, c-base will provide space and tables. Space will be allocated based on registration information. If you forgot to register as a provider of items, it may be possible to get table space if there is room left, but people who registered have priority!
Being a provider of items is free. Depending on the size of the items you're bringing, you may be asked for a deposit to cover potential #disposal costs if you don't take them back home.
However, we highly encourage you to only bring items you're comfortable taking back home.
We have no requirements on how to exchange goods. You can use cash, cryptocurrency, PayPal, electronics, services, knowledge, beverages, or any other medium of exchange—it is entirely up to you. Any disputes must be resolved between the parties involved. Team members will only intervene in cases where c-base rules are breached."

In reality, I never played Out Run as a kid. But I did play a *LOT* of Rad Racer on my relatives' NES, and I loved the game. I picked this up yesterday at the MIT Flea/Swapfest yesterday, after I packed up my tables and did a quick run over to visit some other vendors I'm acquainted with.
The sticker on this one reads $12, but the vendor told me to give him $10 so he didn't need to make change. Happy to do so.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@GamesMissed/115378712152262192
Just a reminder: stop by and say hi at the MIT Flea / Swapfest tomorrow morning in Cambridge, Massachusetts! I'm happy to chat, you can poke at old and underpriced computers, and I might even convince you to take some free stuff!

1st Addendum (I'm sure there will be more):
I'll have a few Skylanders Starter Packs for the Xbox 360. $5 will get you the disc in case, a portal, and two Skylanders. Did you recently pick up a cheap 360 to jailbreak it? Why not pick up a complete game with cool figurines?

The last MIT Flea / Swapfest of the year is this coming Sunday, October 19th. I will be selling! I want stuff out of my home! All unreasonable offers will be entertained and/or entertaining!
Among other things I will have are:
- a Power Macintosh 7200/90 with a 300 MHz G3 upgrade card
- a 400 MHz G4 Graphite desktop, in its original box
- a Miyoo PocketGo, the predecessor to the Miyoo Mini (i.e., a #GameDad)

I did not mean for there to be a ten hour delay between that first post and the rest of the thread. The day got away with me.
So, late but not never:
Today's #MITFlea / #Swapfest wasn't as busy as I'm accustomed to. I was surprised at that, as were some of the vendors that I spoke with. Still, it was a good time, and I had a lot of fun conversations.

I will be attending the #MITFlea / #Swapfest tomorrow (Sunday, September 21st). I may buy a Zip disk for $1. Otherwise, I'm attending just to see the fun things. I'll try and post photos as I go.
@knizer had discussed a #Boston meetup at the Flea as well. I'm going to try and arrive at 9 or so in the morning, but I'll be there for a few hours. Hope to see some of you there!
