I'm done with RK gun shows,,,

[aarondhgraham]

Twelve dollars to get in and a third of the tables had no guns at all,,,
I have no interest in buying anti-bacterial sponges,,,
If I want lavender oil I'll go to Wal Mart.

That $12.00 was after a $2.00 discount coupon.

This is the third disappointing show by RK,,,
I'll not be attending another one.

The shows are smaller,,,
But Bad Shot's shows have guns,,,
And the admission fee of $6.00 is reasonable.

Color me burned once too often.

I am with you - I tried many times to say "The next one will be better" but only Bad Shot shows have been consistently decent, or at least reasonably priced with friendly staff. Even he has a tough time in some of the SW locations like Duncan but he keeps trying.

I agree. I went yesterday ... wasted $12 and forty minutes of my time.

Once upon a time, gun shows were a way to find things for firearms. But thanks to Al Gore's invention the internet ... gun shows are not as relevant as they used to be.

I think the last time I went to a gun show ...Clinton was pres. when they started having one every weekend the deals pretty much went away !!

The problem is there isnt as much money in gun shows as their use to be. It isnt just RK, I have noticed gun shows lacking over the years. Also there are just so many of them. Too many to keep up. I like the tables purchased older people who are just sizing down their collection. Usually you can get a good deal and you are helping them out as well.

Just not worth it anymore now that we have the internet. Also you have to sell at least 3 guns to cover a few tables. Some of those tables are 30 bucks and most people only profit 40-80 bucks off a gun.

Haven't been to a gun show since 2000. Never seen the draw to the ones I went too, just wasted money and high prices. I'm still trying to talk myself into going to Wannemachers one of these days

Can't really remember the last time I went to a gun show. Got to where they weren't appealing anymore.

Yeah, too many people pointing guns at me, too overpriced and then not enough good guns.

 

[twoguns?]

Ehhhh, if you just go for the entertainment factor.....its really not worth it....other than getting to see and talk to peeps
If your looking for a deal, well theres some to be found,,,,,,just not like the "old days"
LOL...."the old days"
