10-12 years ago, maybe 15 - gun shows were gun shows.
Now its beef jerky, hot sauce, shapern your knife sir, clean your glasses sir hucksters.
EVERYTHING is over priced and there is NOTHING there I can't get cheaper anywhere else. This includes guns , ammo, and or powder.
To hell with paying 10-20 bucks to be bumped into, farted on, stepped on, coughed on, by a random patron or insulted or gouged by somne shitbag dealer. My local dealer went to the hampton show recently. He said the ammo was far higher than even he would charge in his small shop. Said it was dead, like a ghost town. I say good. Screw em. You want to act like an ass and overcharge people, that only works in a panic. News flash, the panic was overa 18 months ago and its smooth sailing for at least the next two years. Better step up, or get run out. Either is fine with me. As long is UPS ships components and my local dealer does transfers, I dont need a gun show to waste my time, money or patience.
