Disc Golf Fly Market

As the snow thaws (that is gonna happen sometime soon right?) more and more peeps will be looking for discs to huk for the season.

Does anyone have a interest in getting together at a course for a disc swap of sorts?

My idea would be that people could sell/trade/buy used discs from each other.

Could help people who want to try a new mold, or are looking for backups for the season.

Could also help me get the ridiculous number of molds i own but don't throw out of my basement.

The "fly mart" concept has been adopted at major events, but it's usually primarily for vendors to sell their discs.

I am thinking more about individuals getting together to swap buy and sell. Hence "fly market"

We could have the fly market somewhere from 10-2 and then have a big random dubs or something.

If there is interest I will contact some of the notable disc fiends around and see if we can get something going. I am thinking sometime in April.

Holla back.

I'm down for that.

Where/Which place/course that it should happen?

I'm thinking Barre course because it has open fields and people can test discs before/after buying/trading.

Just a thought.

I think Titan has tried to start up Route 2 Trade Show...maybe talk to him and go from there?

The parking lot at Webster seems perfect for this. Great idea. I have some old ones I would swap.

My idea is really focused on the used disc swap/buy/sell as opposed to the vendor/ trade show. But that idea is cool too, and maybe we could do both together. Webster might make sense. I could see a bunch of vendors set up behind the building kinda near hole 18. Four!

I was thinking of doing a disc-swap thing before league at Devens sometime this year, but I'm pretty lazy, so I'll go to yours instead. It is a great idea though. On Saturday I worked a great trade with Nevius out of what he had in his trunk, with a planned event it could be cool.

I was actually wondering if Devens would be the best spot to do this... Considering the huge numbers of people you guys pull on a weekly basis.

I may not be able to do a weekday league thing, but weekends? or maybe you do one up there and we do one down this way? Cross promote?
