the number of people paying to get in was low, does anyone know how many showed up>?  anyone know how much they advertised?   it was a poor show for selling. but I did buy a lot of parts,

   next show for me is the thanksgiving weekend show in millard, that show always has a big draw,

Lots of vendors, and most sales seemed to be dealer to dealer. I talked with several vendors who sold nothing, perhaps everybody tapped themselves out earlier this year in the panic. The Sept show has a reputation for being a loser, and my group probably won't do it again. January is usually much better.

Yeah, I was/am pretty tapped out funds-wise.  I didn't buy anything in the panic because I couldn't afford it then, eitther. 

It seemed to me that not only attendees were down, but vendors weere also less than previous years.  I was also only in the market for parts, not whole firearms.

I was one of the few paying attendees :D, I was looking for a few specific items.  Bought one I found and one unscheduled.  Saturday morning, when I was there, didn't look very busy.  I think the panic of 2013 may have faded a bit.

I went on Saturday. Having never been there before I had high expectations. I found a good deal on .22 ammo, but not much else.

I went looking for an M1 Garand, but came away empty handed.

I didn't have any other "need".
