[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 2664973, member: 13337"] It was a small show but had a surprising amount of guns,,, The only downside was I saw everything in 55 minutes,,, And I walked every aisle and saw every table twice. I printed the coupon so admission for me was only $6.00,,, I don't begrudge that because the organizer needs to make money as well. What I was amazed at was the prices being asked,,, It seemed that every gun I handled was priced way too high,,, The man with the largest number of handguns was totally out of line. Normally I don't ever comment on a price,,, I'll just walk away from the table if I think it's too high. This man though had used guns with tags more than new ones,,, One example was a Ruger SR22 with one mag and no box,,, He had a $375.00 price tag hanging on that pistol. Right now a new one from budsgunshop is $313.00,,, I would have walked away quietly but he offered me "a real deal" at $360.00. When I chuckled softly and said "no thanks." he seemed insulted,,, I told him Buds price and he said I was mistaken. I offered him a $20.00 bet (I had my laptop),,, He declined and said $350.00 was his minimum offer. Do these table dealers think we are stupid? But on the other hand I chatted up some of the other sellers,,, I had very nice conversations with a few of them. So $6.00 for close to an hour of smelling gun oil,,, It wasn't a wasted expedition for me. I was very interested in one rifle I saw,,, A re-barreled 30-40-Krag that had been nicely sporterized,,, I had my Father's 30-40 when I was young and was getting all nostalgic over it. So hey,,, As long as these are close to me,,, I'll keep on attending them for the fun of it. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
