THEY say one man's trash is another man's treasure, and so was the case at the 21st annual Super Southern Swap Meet.
Antique radios, retro bicycles and a whole lot of vintage cars were among the items available at the largest swap meet in Australia.
The meet continues to attract thousands of people from throughout Australia and overseas.
Ron Jackson of Cobden has attended all 21 swap meets and has not moved an inch from his usual camping site.
He said it's the people he sees every year that keep him coming back for more.
"It's a very enjoyable weekend and you always pick up a bargain,'' Mr Jackson said.
"It gets you out of the scene you're normally in.
" We enjoy meeting people and catching up with them each year.''
Lorraine Graham of Lismore has operated a site for 10 years and says the meet is more about culture than anything else.
"We love it. It doesn't matter if we sell or not. It's the atmosphere and the friends that we come for,'' Ms Graham said.
"If there's something you want to buy, you'll find it here.''
It was the first time at the Super Southern for the Walkers.
Driving down from NSW to sell their goods, they say they're sure to return in the following years.
"It's been great. There are a lot of people and it's a good atmosphere," Mr Walker said.
"You get to a stage where you have to get rid of a bit of your stuff and we've already sold a quarter of it."
The swap meet started yesterday at the Ballarat Airport and ends tonight.
