Why don't gun shows ever start on Friday (or, more generally, why are they never open on week days)? Weekends are tough to get over, but I have the flexibility during the week to go.

ESAC (Rochester) does start on Friday, if you are a member. Membership is $10 per year, gets you in all days, including Friday setup. It's a little secret now you all know.

Anyone else read the ESAC show rules:
1. No loaded guns or clips, except for police and show security So, can law abiding citizens have loaded magazines? |

Went this morning. Moderate crowd. In the Dome you could get an SKS for $550 and up. A Russian SKS was being offered for only $850. In Minnet Hall there were some SKS's for $350. Prices as expected. The one firearm that really did tempt me was a used single shot falling block in 45 120. The price was not all that bad either. Beautiful rifle.

I was tempted by a 1903 for $600, but considering what they normally go for I didn't want to ask what was wrong with it.

Crowd was slow, and sparse....
Sold a few guns, had a couple real fuck-ups: I ran a guy CC for $642.xx instead of $242. 
Was so flustered when I tried to void it while at the same time a guy was coming to look at a Ruger SBH and I thought he was someone else, then that turned bad when he low-balled me after we'd spent two weeks back & forth with e-mails, I finally said "that's my price." and he walked.....had it been a different time, I might have worked it a bit better, but he tried to knock it down because the cheap-ass OEM grips had been replaced with Pachmeyers (which is damn near standard. Toured the Show just before closing; saw a few things that might follow me home Sunday if the price is right. IT IS a buyers market: capitalize on it while you can.

FP, where you at, I'll look you up tomorrow... The show sucked really, very sparse crowd, not a whole lot to buy, not much being spent...still picked up a few gems...no guns though. Worse crowd on a Saturday I ever saw at Rochester.... |

I have never seen the Rochester show so empty.
I saw some good deals on Mossberg MVP's I also saw a $400 M44 Nagant.  WTF is that about?
Some insanely priced 22 and some steep 22 I was amazed to see Saiga rifles for $525 to $600 which were still not moving. All things considered, that seems like a bargain if you need one. $500 SKS the long Nagants are still reasonably priced around $180 but many are really looking rough. Not like a few years ago when an $80 Nagant was a real looker. There was a lot of broken glass in the parking lot. I hope no one got their vehicle broken into. I was disappointed to not even get a look at an Ares SCR. Do they really exist? Turned into another meh show for me which is still a good day.

I hadn't planned on buying anything, took $100 and a cc j.i.c. there was something I couldn't pass up. My girlfriend did end up buying a decorative Scottish dirk, but that's it.

Worse crowd on a Saturday I ever saw at Rochester.... When you come into the Dome through the concession are/main entrance go all the way across to the Blue Bleachers, turn right and we're the last three tables (double sided) bright turquoise table cloths. at 6'6" somehow you'll know it's me.
I did see the guys in the annex with outragious ammo prices, I doubt they're moving much if any at all. As far as I can tell all the "get it while you can" is long done, people just got their tax bill, not to mention sending kids back to school....Fall show has always been a slow one, and this ones by far no exception. There was this guy trolling a Yugo SKS for $400. He must have made a dozen trips around the place telling all who'd ask that "his was the cheapest in the place" but there were no takers....For $300. I'd have bought it. Remember the days when Century would send you a case of them for under $100. each!?

Herb Phillipsons still has Saiga's for $575. and that's about what they were at the Show, but there's always the option of price negotiation there.

They should be flying off the self at that price. I was tempted by the 556 but I really don't need/want it. |
