I'm not sure if you are serious but since no one else answered, here are my answers:
1. Zero
2. Yes
3. There are not really any bad spots but I would show up at least 30 minutes before the posted start time to get in line.
You may want to leave earlier in case running low on air affects your travel time to the event.

Maybe and Maybe, hard to say what will show up and what will be for sale.
My opinion is that the Classic weekend often sees sellers asking top dollar... but not always and I agree, money talks.

All buses are now ridiculous amounts.

last year there were two buses trailered in that were a fair price, think one was Big J from Hemet's. there are always deals on both parts and buses, and as always a few crack heads asking STUPID money, but there are crack heads everywhere. Hope you find what your looking for out there man!

I'll be rolling the yellow and white 67 dlx. I usually get in line about 4:30 or 5am, I like to be up front so I can hear the raffle numbers called without leaving my easy chair and cooler. No swap sales for me this time, just chillin' and enjoying the busmania!
Safe travels to all who are driving in..

Everyone gets a trophy Huevos Rancheros. This year they are adding a Sniper category. No spare parts, just expensive parts. We'd let you in early but you sound like your are up to something? Maybe a good front row spot!? If you show up with Tim riding shot gun, you can get in as early as you want. |

| great show! I won 17th place in the west notchback deluxe today, though mine was the lowest and cromest I should have one it. What is that cunrado mafia deal, they look like major bad guys but are real nice, I heard one talking about his favorite girlfriend Gabby all day. Also i heard there was some sniper out there sleeping on the job. |

The only thing I "scored" was a decent spot. Didn't bring but a few items and toys to sell but sold most all of it right away! Very profitable day but as such, I didn't get to see any of the show since I stayed on my spot all day. 
As usual though, got to see quite a few friends that only "cameo" once a year during this weekend.

| I had a blast at OCTO, as always. Got there early enough to get a spot up front and it was good to see the crews. |
