The weekend swap meet, which has occupied a parking lot on the community college campus in East Hollywood for more than 20 years, opened for the last time Sunday.
Rosa Sanchez entered the Los Angeles City College swap meet with a $20 bill on a Sunday last month.
Like other swap meets, the one at L.A. City College closed at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic last year. It reopened more than a year later, in April. Juan Carlos Perez, who has sold secondhand clothing and electronics at the swap meet for 20 years, said he paid $2,000 for a prominent, high-traffic spot, on top of monthly reservation fees of $110 and daily vending fees of $100.Perez, 49, a FedEx driver who moved to L.A. from El Salvador in 1986, relies on the extra income to pay bills.
In the last year, reserve funds were used to pay for the scholars program, which includes about 140 students. During the pandemic shutdown, about 100 vendors set up on North Vermont Avenue and a few side streets, Schwartz said.
