One of the main goals we had designing the site is to keep the rules as simple as possible. For all of you that have been to a swap meet to buy a item can appreciate the simplicity.
Thanks and have fun.

Some customers have been asking,,,
If we had people who could help them list there items on Ahwooga.com. We have done some asking around and have found a few people who would be willing to help. This is not a free service, but I’m sure they would be very reasonable.

A big shout out to Ecology Auto Parts
This weekend we went to Long Beach for a huge swap meet to promote the Ahwooga.com site. Being a new vendor, we were given a spot in an area that didn’t seem to have the best traffic flow. This was no fault of the swap meet staff, it’s just the place was packed. To make [...]
