Monthly Swap Meet

by Brian @ OBB on Jun 19, 2010 • 9:28 pm No Comments

One of the downstairs guys, Milenkovitch, hosts a monthly swap meet behind the Oak Bay shop in the parking lot. They’re scheduled the last Thursday of every month from 6pm-8pm (please no early bird vendors). If you’d like to sell stuff there it is free, but please get a hold of Milenkovitch ahead of time to help him keep things organized. If you’d like to buy things, bring cash and take advantage of the awesome deals out there! Click through for more information and a photo of the flyer.

The flyer should give you all the info you need, but we to stress the fine print. No stolen bikes or stuff allowed; all items in as-is condition; Oak Bay Bicycles is simply hosting this event, not representing the sellers or their products. Call if you have any questions: 250-598-4111. See you there!
