Venue looked exactly like the IceHouse at the AZ Fairgrounds, except without those two side-rooms.
Albeit, fresh, clean, and well air-conditioned, LOL. Just an FYI, if you've ever thought about trekkin' up there. :D
 
I was up there today.

Noted a lot of firearms available, but still at panic level pricing. And we won’t even talk about ammunition prices...

Stopped in at PV Guns after. Noted he had very little stock, but his prices were a bit more realistic (maybe that’s why he had so few firearms in stock).

I’m a capitalist through and through, so I exercised my right to keep my money in my wallet.
 
Walked around and didn't see anything that grabbed me...until I spotted somethingthat looked like a winny 52.
Turns out it was a model 75T. Complete with both front and fully adjustable rear.

Paid all of 550 for it. Good deal for the rifle and 3 magazines.

It was a ok show.
 
We went by at first around 11:00, and there was a long line. So we went into Prescott had lunch at Gurley Street, and then stopped by at Bucky O’Neill’s. On our way back out we hit the show around 3 (there was no wait). I stopped in at PV Guns after the show.
 
Prescott is always a small venue and is high priced. Better to wait for the phx shows where there are more dealers.
 
Perhaps true, but the last time I went, I did okay. I gotta a STUPID good deal while waiting in line to get in, and a GOOD deal once inside the show. Plus, there's a handful of other dealers in town to check out, and some good breakfast/lunch venues.
 
I might be there walking around with a rifle for the fun of it. Have a hammerless SW 38 I'd like to sell for one with a hammer too.
 
I left thinking it would nice and cool...NOT ! Overcast and drizzling the whole way up.
Humidity was such that the A/C in the area was rendered useless. Talked to several vendors
that froze from behind their tables, positioned just under the ducts. Yet, I feel like it's July in SAvannah 3-feet across the table from them. Did, however, get some sold, and one fair deal.

IF you go tomorrow, dress loosely and comfortably.

Man, I wish someone would make some type of Internets machine that would allow you to quickly search large sections of the Internets to find what you were looking for...maybe based on some key words or something...some type of "search engine", if you will....what a world that would be.
I know there are a lot of web sites...I'd bet there might be over 10 to the 100th power different web pages...I think that is called a googol....but that's a funny spelling...so let's just call it a Google.

Went to the show today, no masks mandated, no "so many people allowed at one time" thing.

I got there by 0830 and waited for my ticket then since it was a tad frosty they let us in about 5-10 minutes early and we were supposed to wait in the foyer but basically everyone just went into the show.

I spent about three hours there looking over all the tables, talking to some local friends, got an accessory or two. They said no reentry but if you took a selfie by a poster inside then you could return.

Price wise I wish I could have set up a table and sold all my platforms from the last year that I sold at the inflated prices that the show had! Most weapons that I had an eye on locally were up about $50; example Mossberg Shotgun for $399 was going to $499 with show special price drop to $449. LOTS of overpriced C&R weapons though.

Was it worth $14? It got me out of the house, walked about a mile inside a nice building, no food or drinks to be bought anywhere inside though. If I didn't live locally, I would have been OK with the time spent.
 
I went at opening on Sunday. No line to get in. I brought 4 guns, and sold them all. I wasn’t looking to buy anything, and was out by 10. Still no crowd. I should have brought more guns.
