It was not the worst flea market gun show this vendor has put on there, but there was also some empty tables. Of course from a vendor stand point a game day gun show in NE is a bust. Only thing I was looking for was .327 Federal related which is not popular enough yet to find local. Friend with me bought some military surplus stuff he likes. I find it odd that gun owners think that a vendor would close their retail shop, travel with expense, pay money to set up a temp. retail space, work on a weekend, and discount their inventory below normal prices from their shops because gun shows are where one gets things for cheap? Gun show prices are always higher than every day prices because the dealer has increased expense and for sure is going to have to take trade in stuff. With this increased priced items they can offer over value trade on the used stuff, playing to the gun owner mindset that his hobby never looses money it is an investment. The only fair deal at a gun show is when the seller and the buyer both think they got screwed. If either one of them thinks they got a good deal then someone got screwed.
Gun shows are the place to buy Haz-Mat items without the charges, and find out of production items that one can not order every day on the web. and hook up with friends.
