[QUOTE="SBD, post: 1365564, member: 9592"] I was disappointed. I quit going several years ago and thought I would try it again. Not one EAA dealer and only a couple of CZ dealers so prices weren't down where I would have expected them. On top of that there were way too many curio/antique dealers for the crowd. I noticed that anything with Smith and Wesson stamped on it seemed to be worth about 200 bucks more than it should have been (never got over the S&W snubbing the public thing so won't buy them anyway - their autos suck anyway). No serious Taurus dealers either - wanted a model 44 or a Raging Bull in 44 but the only one I saw was at MSRP - I refuse to pay MSRP. Didn't see new Rossi wheel gun - was looking for a .357. Also no sweet cost plus 10% deals anymore. I did pick up a Witness in 38 super for a reasonable price but it took me all day to find it. I did find one dealer that had good prices but the tax put it above reasonable plus I didn't bring cash and he wanted to add another 4%...needless to say I walked. The best prices were from all the folks walking around trying to sell whatever. Most of them were having a hard time too. I forgot to go back and get a Geiger counter...always wanted one...don't know why though. As mentioned before reloading prices were down but not back where they should be. I will probably go in April with my Mrs. if for no other reason then to spend some time away from the kids and chasing our favorite hobby together - guns. For 10 bucks it's worth the entertainment. Oh yeah the food sucked and 5.50 for a 44 oz drink was way off. They didn't even charge that much at the fair. [/QUOTE]
