[QUOTE="WoodsCraft, post: 3940826, member: 51836"] There are a lot of reaons why the $5 show isn't doable in 2023 , Inflation being a large factor. Everything is more expensive than it used to be . People do not have to like it but it is what it is. The same people who bitch about a $12 to $14 gun show price haven't ever been to a venue for a gun show where you had to pay for parking and pay to get into the gun show. I have and that sucks , also thanks to ********* of which there seem to be more now than there ever was insurance has went up . It is costly to promote one of these shows , times have changed folks . Speaking of dumb ***** I had to tell someone at the show today to quit pointing the muzzle of the chicom 870 at me while he examined it . Otherwise I had a fun time , sold a Marlin 22 quite a fast to my surprise and had 500 tire kickers for my Warner Swasey 03 Springfield but no real buyers . Of course I also had fun listening to the window lickers as they went table to table spinning their fables and telling this person or that how they used to buy X for $5 new in the box and bitching about how its not worth the current price . I need to head to the city for the next show over there and then save my pennies for the Wannamacher show in April. [/QUOTE]
