I was disappointed in the lack of available dvd's,
cd's, or videoes. I "donated" several working things in good condition. I found very few items of
similar quality.
I am n ot a clothes hound and was not interested in
any of the clothing there.

I was disappointed that the items were not better organized by size and that things were all mixed up on tables. While I did see a lot of great clothes, there was also a lot of clothes with wash wear or very dirty dingy shoes. The jewelry was set up in such a small section that the first 3 or 4 people that arrived there were the only ones that were able to get anything. That should of been more spread out allowing more people to view and pick items. I think more people would return to the event if the items were all better organized.

This was a guys worst nightmare! But even if I was a girl, there was a lot of junk clothing. I guess all the VIPs took all of the good stuff since they get to go in early. I brought a portable TV/Radio that was working and some un-worn shoes so I thought I would find similar stuff in return. Not a chance! I was impressed with the concept, thought - because the only winner is the person creating the event! Sorry, I'll give my stuff next time to the Vets of America.

More Information About Frugal Festival Summer Swap

Description

Admission is $5 if you bring swappables, which need to be dropped off at 10:00am. Admission is $10 if you come empty-handed and admission time is 1:00pm.

VIP tickets include a front-of-the-line pass, a copy of the Free Fun LA guidebook and other perks.

The Frugal Festival is at the NoHo PAC this year, a hip new venue on Magnolia just east of Lankershim in North Hollywood. NoHo PAC is surrounded by restaurants, thrift stores, and theaters so there is plenty to do in the hour after you drop off your swappables but before the swap begins. Here is how the day will go:

10:00am – Noon: Drop off clothes, media, and housewares to swap and get your free reusable bag and free raffle ticket.

Noon – 1:00pm: Feel free to grab a coffee, browse thrift stores, get a bite to eat, have your nails done at nearby businesses.

1:00pm – 3:00pm: Swap!

Swapping clothes and other gently used items is the trendiest way to spend time with friends; recycling clothing, home goods & media for "new to you" items and making the most of a down economy. Julia Scott of BargainBabe.com with Amy Chase & Melissa Massello of  The Swapaholics, know best, having recently been featured in USA Today, US News & World Report, The Boston Globe and dozens of local network news stations for their modern swap meet expertise.
