The WFMU fair is absolutely awesome!
I will be going later and spending ALL my money!
Prices vary hugely, but there are definitely loads of bargains to be had.
I remember the first time I ever went, just being overwhelmed - coming away with records I had dreamed of owning when I lived in Europe, but figured I would never find - like Dick Hyman's 'the man from O.R.G.A.N.' and the three suns' 'fever and smoke' (for not much more than $5 each).
Last November I went on Sunday and was still able to come away with some great records. There is such a huge volume of stuff there that it would be impossible for all the gems to disappear in 1 or 2 days.
I highly recommend going; it's twice a year, normally November and May.
