[ARCHIVED THREAD] - O'Fish EEL Tulsa thread, 12-13 NOV Wanenmacher's Gun Show - Breakfast Sunday at Black Bear! (Page 3 of 3)
|
Quoted: It's open to anyone at either time. Just post up what time you'll be there so we can get a big enough table. Quoted: Quoted: Is breakfast on Saturday open to anyone or need to rsvp or already sign up? It's open to anyone at either time. Just post up what time you'll be there so we can get a big enough table. I’ll be there at 7am. Probably a little earlier. Should I ask for a certain person or table? |
|
Quoted: I'm going to have to admit, this might be the most overpriced gunshow I've ever attended. So far, very underwhelmed. |
|
Quoted: There's a good variety of stuff (but I like old guns), but agreed on the prices. Unless you want some truly roached milsurp or a rusty Belgian pinfire, bring $$$ I can understand older stuff having some collector value, but current made stuff was higher than I can get from a local gun store. And I mean way over in many cases. |

I’m not sure about pricing, but I was a bit underwhelmed today too. Maybe it is me, but this is the first time in the last 3-4 years I’ve left with money in my pocket and no dying need to buy something. I’ll be back tomorrow to make an offer here and there, but I won’t be surprised if I don’t buy anything. The selection of everything seems kind of ……. Generic maybe? Not sure what it is exactly. |

There was some stuff I might have bought if I could've talked em down, but it was all handguns and I'm from out-of-state. Also, I was disappointed that the dude walking around in full WW1 Doughboy uniform didn't get into a fight with the guy in full WW1 Imperial German Officer's uniform. |

Quoted: There was a LOT of the same stuff. I overheard other people talking about that too. It still way better variety than most of the gun shows I've been to, but the pricing is high and everything got kinda repetitive. There were a couple of tables on the upper level where I serious deja vu from a table on the lower level. There was some stuff I might have bought if I could've talked em down, but it was all handguns and I'm from out-of-state. Also, I was disappointed that the dude walking around in full WW1 Doughboy uniform didn't get into a fight with the guy in full WW1 Imperial German Officer's uniform.

Both of those guys were in line with me to get in. I was kind of curious as to why they dress up, don’t recall ever seeing people do that before. |

Very sorry I didn't make dinner tonight, had a family emergency and had to bail. Just got home, everything is much better and the little rental got 40 mpg coming back from Norman at 65-70. At 85 outta Tulsa the mileage wasn't as good til I got a phone call & slowed down to Biden gas speeds. Looking forward to catching everyone next spring. |

Dinner was excellent and we hate you missed it but It’s good to hear everything is better at home. That fuel economy is very impressive. I had no clue a McLaren was capable of that kind mpg. We will be catching up with you closer to home before the spring show. |

They have RV power hook ups in some of the parking lot. We're sharing a clean out port with our neighbors. The downside is that at least where we are, there is no water. We didn't know this so we didn't fill our fresh water tank prior to getting up here. For $50/night I was expecting full hookups. Semper Fi |
| If you have anything to sell do it on the boards here. Lots of people carrying guns to sell take them home. The people walking around and the vendors try to lowball everything you have starting at $100 less than you have on your sign. I didn't feel like giving my guns away so they came home with me. I can sell the slide and frame separately and make more money even with the high usps shipping rates. Just as many people walking around with multiple guns for sale are seen dragging them back to the parking lot. The prices for the most part were unrealistic to the internet prices. The primers are up to $140 per thousand. Reloading is a thing of the past with components cost more than the high priced bullets to make. Probably not making the trip in the future. |

I mean, a dealer is never going to give you market price, they didn't pay $100 for a table to operate a charity. The price on your sign is presumably market, what you expect a fellow punter to pay you if you bump into him and he wants exactly what you have. If you are trying to sell your gun at a show, then you're interested in quick cash rather than getting the most out of it on Gunbroker. A dealer is going to offer you what the gun is worth to him before his markup. He's not going to pay you more than he can get the same gun from a distributor. Yesterday, I saw a guy w/ a camo'd up 870. He declined my $200 offer, same as he had the dealer before me. As an 01, I can't even strip the paint. The stock is chipped. He admits he painted it b/c the finish was rough. Yeah, you've got a beat to hell 870, and you're hoping for 50% more than two legit offers on your rattle can camo job? Good luck, buddy. |

I ended up picking up a Walther PPQ with threaded barrel for $620 from a private party with a table. He had $650 on it. I should have offered $600. He said ok to $620 way too quick. Lol. I was split between an HK VP9 long slide asking price of $925 or HK P30 also long slide for $699. Or a used Savage 110 F/P Police/Tactical for $675. I wanted them all. I didn’t know enough about the Savage to know if it was a reasonable price. I offered on the P30 but he wouldn’t take $675, I felt like $699 was too high and really needed to be at $625 or so. All were private parties with tables. All good. All in all I had fun. And it was cool meeting some of you in person |

I was there from 1:30-3:00 Sunday. I handed off three guns to an auction company, was walking around with my Keltec sub-2000, had a few dealers ask about it, course when I told them my price they declined. I'm not giving it away. I was exhausted after being up 22 hours straight, got a 2023 tactical girls calendar. |
