[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 4150504, member: 7157"] As others have said, the best deals any more are those carried in by individuals - many of the vendors nowadays are there to make a buck, so deals on their tables will be far and few in between. It wasn‘t always the case; years ago when table and door fees weren’t as bad as they are now, there were more individual collections being sold, often at excellent prices since the sellers weren‘t as profit-driven. This was especially the case at the sadly defunct Grand National shows, where there were a LOT of private collections being sold. I picked up some great deals there. Not so much as at Wanenmacher. The draw to Wanenmacher is the chance to visit the biggest gun show in the country, with emphasis on “show” ;) [/QUOTE]
