[QUOTE="AguaFriaRanger, post: 3630317, member: 48527"] Yeah, ignore everything I said and cherrypick the point you're trying to make that is unrelated to the main point of my postings. For the record, I didn't sell it, mostly because I couldn't find a replacement at a reasonable price and didn't want to be without. The spring 2021 show being inflated is somewhat understandable, that doesn't change the past decade of declining show quality. Nor does it excuse the fact that at least a third of the tables were all chinesium potmetal ARs being sold for unreasonable prices. At least it saved me some time, when I looked at a table and saw the same rifle three times in a row I knew I could just keep walking. The only table that really caught my eye in the whole show was a guy doing an estate sale, and he wanted $3k for a used 106f which were going for ~$2.5k NIB on gunjoker. Don't pretend like I'm saying I expect prices to go back to pre-2008 levels. I just want to go to a show where things are priced within 10% of what they are going for online so I can justify spending a bit more to support a local and not deal with shipping. If the gun costs a grand at your table and is going for 900 online, I'll buy yours. If it costs $1400 at your table and is 900 online I'm going to laugh while I walk away. Same for ammo.
