Used to do these fairs in the 90s as a supplier.
We shifted an awful lot of stuff for knockdown prices, and there were good bargains elsewhere in the halls as well.

Last time I went to a computer fair (race course in Brighton) was around 2002/03, it was populated with older equipment at inflated prices.
I used to buy from Local Computer fairs many years ago (Early to mid 00's) in the days of AMD Athlon xp & Duron. In 2005 I began to buy PC parts via the internet (Athlon64) & not looked back. They don't seem to do the rounds where I live anymore & I won't travel far especially to pay one a visit either.

Athlons and Durons man! I just been clearing up and I just found a samsung 512mb stick of ddr lol
I went to one last year.
Cost £5 to enter, it was 1/5 the size than advertised.
Every major component was at least 5-10% more than online.
The source of their parts were dubious.
Warranty most likely void as the places give a written receipt on blank paper.
Lots of fake Chinese items which you can buy off wish for less than. They want.
Seriously, absolutely no point.
