I saw a guy with a table full of WWB in various calibers for no less than $1/round. He still had most of it by the end of the show...
I’m not understanding why these dealers pay for a table. Hotel. Food. Gas. Time. And then can’t figure out that people aren’t gonna stupid pay prices for their goods. Wouldn’t it make more sense to lower prices and be the “The Table” instead of being out all that money and effort?
You just have to really look, I bought some factory .300 Weatherby and some Buffalo Bore .45 Colt ammo for next to nothing, the difference between the big show and these rinky dink ones here in Okc is that people come from all over the country to sell stuff they don't like driving all the way down here and paying $175 a table and not making a dime and taking there stuff back. Last time I was in sooner state pawn they wanted like $65 a box for 45/70, I bought 2 boxes yesterday for $60. Thats why these shows are terrible around here, it's a money grab. In Tulsa if you look hard enough you will likely find a deal, I've been going for 25 years and have never come home feeling like I was ripped off, that's why I quit going to shows at the fairgrounds here, you get ripped off going through the door!
I saw people carrying cases of ammo out. The stuff was selling. Even at $1+/rd.
Glad people were not paying that and let it lay there, I tend to stay away from dealer tables most of the time. I like the tables that look like someone cleaning there cabinets out, that's where you find bargains.
It's in .308. I appreciate the offer, though.Is your FR8 in 308 or unconverted? If still 8mm I have 20rds surplus you can have if we can get it to you.
Looks like nobody found something they would trade for my Shield. I had an offer for a full size 1911 in 9mm I may have to take and see if I can find a pancake holster for.
I talked my friend that wanted to come up for the show off the ledge, and we ended up working and getting a big job finished. From what I’m reading here, it was a wise decision for us, but it does sound like there was stuff selling even at the “rip your head off” prices. Go figure...
