Is this going to be outside? I know that building....there isn't space for 300 tables...and there isn't anywhere near enough parking, unless they are going to let you park on the reservation across the street....but the Res and guns don't mix.

 

[Pipedoc]

Disappointing IMO. There were a few of guns I was interested in. All overpriced. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not expecting to buy something for nothing. But I’m not going to overpay either. There was a fair amount of ammo for sale. The hard to find stuff was overpriced. I chatted with a few vendors. They were all complaining that no one was buying anything. And they were all up to taking offers. I tried to say to one of them that their asking prices were so high that no one wants to even make an offer. But it seemed to go on deaf ears.

What bothered me the most is the vendors that had some ammo that appeared that it had been around a while due to the shop wear on the boxes. It was all priced at similar prices to what is being paid on GB. I could be wrong, but if they have ammo where they bought it at pre panic prices and selling it for panic prices it smacks of gouging. And I won’t pay those prices. I certainly could be wrong about it but even some of the ammo was in boxes where the printing on the box has not been used for a few years. I hope I’m wrong but I don’t think so. I don’t blame them for trying but don’t expect me to buy ammo that appears you have had for a long time and pay panic buying prices.

I don't like the high prices either but... (playing devils advocate) ammo is good for a long time (I've chrono'd 50 year old ammo within 30fps of new stuff)... many times the price isn't based on what it cost but what it will cost to replace it... plus if there isn't any around to buy, you don't have much choice if you really want it - then there is inflation and the time cost value of money...

That's capitalism at it's best. The law of supply and demand in action.
Does not matter what the seller paid. Only matters what the buyer will pay.
Everyone is happy to sell their stuff during times of shortages at high prices, but then we listen to the same people complain when another person does the same.
Don't like his price? Don't complain here. Tell him and counter offer, the worst he can do is say "No." and maybe swear at you.

Gunbroker prices are driven up by people in other states that are used to paying $20 to $35 per box for 9mm at retail. To them, $600 per thousand is not a bad deal. If Biden wins, we may have to agree with them.

 

[Rock Hardson]

I like how someone at the show put up an ad on Armslist saying he was selling a Glock 17 for $450 at the show....

Haha, yeah you are.... nice try

 

[My66coupe]

Was right down the street with me and I wasn’t able to go. Had a few friends go and say everything was typical overpriced bs.

 

[Harrier]

I still have a few 140rd SA battlepacks I bought back in 1999 for $18 ea... a couple years ago when I looked they were selling for $125... when you could find them... do you think I will sell them now?... no

First of all, it was not a Gun Show. It was a Second Amendment Rally. They could not get government permission for that many people for a gun show, but they were able to get permission for a political rally. So everybody stop saying "gun show"!

Here is my review of the Second Amendment Rally:

- Small venue, and the place was packed. Long line to get in. Hard to find a parking place.

- Masks were optional, and almost nobody wore them. I think most people have figured out by now that masks are a scam. Even with everybody packed in like sardines, I'm betting we don't see a big spike in Chicom Cooties cases among the attendees at the political rally.

- CCI Blazer 9mm, $700 for a case of 1000. But that is the same as everywhere else, so no surprise.

- I found an old yellow box of original Shelbyville, Indiana Super Vel 9mm. Hell yeah! $20, with only 41 rounds in the box. I was happy to pay that.

- My friend who collects Marlin .22s bought a takedown model for $500. He says it is worth three times that, then he babbled about the beveled edge on the screw, and other such collector geek stuff that is of no interest to normal people. He went home happy.

- I had a ball! It felt so good to finally get to go to a g_ , I mean, a political rally.
