Saw the clear container of 45 ACP brass, asked how much, seller said whole box is $5. Got any more I said. Box of misc rifle and pistol brass was $5 also. 
Each of these boxes was also $5. 
Then there was the 30-30 box for $5. I sold 3 boxes of brass (60) on the way out for $5, did well on this box. 
More deals, 500 125 gr FMJ 9mm $20, old weaver K4 scope $20, Uniflo $20, $16 a brick for 22LR ammo, bag of 10mm brass for $5. 
Some 12 Ga trays for $1 ea. Came with some paper hulls. 
Rock tumbler $15. Half the size of a Tumblers model B. Oiled motor and shaft bearings, got it running now. 
Close up of Tumbler label. Scott Murray MFG Co from Seattle. It's well used but running smoothly. 
Thought I had a great show when I came up on this bargain. $95 for everything in pic. RCBS JR press, RCBS 5-10 scale, 357 dies, 45 ACP dies, and a RCBS 45 ACP carbide sizer, 357 shellholder, loading block, 20 or so FMJ bullets and 1 case. Many thanks to my 2 buddies who helped me pack it all out. |

The whole time I was looking at the picks I was wondering how many trips to your vehicle you had to make. Those are some great deals. I have friends who are table holders. So I can stash my finds under their table, and pick up my stuff before I leave. Lucky for me I had 2 buddies that helped. It was 3 trips out to the car with 3 people. I also spotted a Dillon 550 with 3 set up tool heads for $425. Just not quite my kind of bargin. |

That's exactly the kind of stuff I buy at gun shows. Being friendly and chatty and not insulting is the key to making deals of that type. You did good!  Yes it pays to ask the right questions, when the vender is in the selling mood. But the secret is getting there first.

Deals like this is why I need to start getting to gun shows on fridays instead of sundays  .

I was in at 0730 and out at 1130 on the first day of a 2 day show. |

My local show is 4 x a year for one promoter (Dixie Classic) and and 4 x a year for another outfit (C&E). Both shows usually suck in regards to reloading stuff. Most of the stuff is brand new and you can get it cheaper on the web. |

I never saw the tableholder where I got all of the brass before, I'm thinking he was selling off someones estate. Been going to this show very regular since the mid 80's, mostly buying, sometimes selling. |
