[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 1916097, member: 7157"] This. I don't know how much the price of admission is within Mr. Metcalf's control, but I can remember - and it wasn't THAT long ago - when it was only $6 and many of the tables were held by private individuals with personal collections to sell. Negotiation was possible (and expected), and sometimes even trades could be made, and people were friendly and swapped stories and tips. After the last Metcalf show I went to where the admission fee was $10, many of the tables were held by firearms dealers looking to make a profit, and other tables were held by vendors whose wares had nothing to do with firearms, I was turned off to the idea of attending any more of his shows. Or other small shows for that matter, until SuperDave came along and reminded me that yes, it IS possible to have a show like in the good old days. Other than this, I have no personal beef with Warren Metcalf. [/QUOTE]
