The last good one I went to was 7-8 years ago in Dearborn , Mi. I sold my Hagstrom 8 String, bought a beautiful CIJ 51P RI and put $100 in my pocket. Lot of all kinds of basses there and tons of guitars. Probably saw over 20 Stratocasters with 10K and plus price tags and the one that really sticks out in my memory was a 40k firm price on an early 50s Les Paul
. There was a lot of more reasonable stuff too. It was just a really good and large show. Since then there hasn't been anything even worth checking out in town.
I don't know what happened, but what used to be a real nice annual thing just seemed to disappear after that.
