Someone did this at a Nationals.   Lots of stuff laid out on a big 
tarp, nobody in evidence but a cardboard sign was posted:


"Take what you want, put what you think it's worth to you in the coffee can."


I picked up a couple of things and dropped some bills in the coffee 
can.   I checked back later, lots of stuff gone and the coffee can 
was close to overflowing.    If nothing else, it proves that Corvair 
folk are generally honest since almost anybody could have looted that 
coffee can but no one did.  Almost anyone could have walked off with 
parts without paying but evidently nobody did.


I smiled and paid for my stuff happily, hoping I gave the guy what 
the stuff had been worth to him.
