[QUOTE="Nighthawk, post: 1914242, member: 3906"] The Show was a very good one, sales were a little slow Saturday, but the sales Sunday more than made up for it, with more than enough sales for both days. We try to guess why that is at some shows, what we have come up with is a number of reasons. Here is Marks Firearms top 5 reasons why people dont purchase a firearm Saturday then come back to the show Sunday and make that purchase. 5. Going home checking the internet, talking to friends, then realizing what a great deal it is then coming back Sunday to make the purchase. 4. Not having enough money the first day, and going home or to the bank, getting enough and coming back the second day. 3. Having to sell a weapon first to fund the second day purchase. 2. Dreaming about the weapon waking up and saying I must have it. 1. Having to convince or wear down the wife. Telling her that this is a great deal, and it is a must have item. I found a great deal on a very old Winchester 22LR pump from one of the vendors, found a great deal on a unopened GI can of 1962 gun grease (the good stuff). Purchased new/olds stock grips for my Merwin, Hulbert & Co revolvers, Purchased a body armor cod piece (very cool), just have to now find an outfit to match it, LOL and some new GI first aid water proof boxes. We sold several AR15's, pistols, AR15 parts, and scopes. A big difference in a show like this one and the OKC shows on the vendor side, is the people. Great people, polite with gun show educate, most are buyers not tire kickers. On the buyers side, many of the vendors are guys with a few gun in a collection that are wanting to sell so that they can buy others. The walk ins bring guns to sell as they walk around they have some of the coolest guns that sometimes are very rare. I always find ones I want at these shows. If you are one of our anti gun show people from this forum, this is one that you would have a hard time saying bad things about. Too bad you missed it, but wait, you would have not gone anyway, and found some reason to down play it, sharing your dislike with everyone else. What a shame. It was a very good show. [/QUOTE]
