It was really slow. I only sold 2 knives. Well, 1 knife and 1 tomahawk. Maybe tomorow will be better but usually not.

Normally it is so crowded on Saturdays you can not even see the tables. That is why I go on Sundays.

Was there today, didn't seem like people were buying. I didn't see the ammo dealers moving much at all.

Yeah I didn't notice a lot of people buying either.  Guns overall seemed a little on the high side. I was looking for a pre lock Smith 686 which there were many of, but they were $150 to $200 over gunbroker.

Not a bad show. Lots of ammo at decent commie white house prices, but I expect a lower non-commie white house price so I didn't bite. Garands are still about $200 high across the board, but I don't know what that market's future holds. M1 Carbines everywhere. Of course all I bought was ww2 memorabilia.

Wait till the market falls and hit the show again in the spring.

A lot and I mean a lot more women attend this weekend than I have seen in the last 4 or 5 years.  Saw some prices adjusted between Saturday and Sunday.  Ammo guy by us lowered his lake city 556 from $399 sat to 325  for 1k rounds on Sunday.  Always find a few deals on private or smaller dealers tables.  Good time but crowd was down quite a bit both days.

Saw a cool garand clip speed loader but it was $400.  Also neat 10/22 case that held a mag and 6 speed load stripper clips $90.

How are the knife prices at these shows? I really want an automatic knife for EDC but they are pricey, I'll probably have to trade for one.

A friend of mine went to the show and got one that shoots the blade straight out for $80. You push the button again and it retracts. Blade seems ok but the action seems cheap and it doesn't always retract. I think he overpaid, but don't know anything about automatic knives.

I don't know anything about them but there were a lot of knife venders there.   I supposed its like guns.  Get cheaper the closer to 4 on sunday you make the deal.

Saturday was real good and busy at the 3 tables I worked.
Sunday was less traffic but the money was flowing.
I bought north georgia 223 remans for $260/1000 OTD
AR prices were lower than expected.
AK prices went up another $100-$300 and were obviously priced too low.

Where lots of people leaving with AK's? I knew they have been higher lately but I wonder why they keep creeping up. Especially since the wicked witch lost. That would explain the low prices ARs.

Yes, the guys I worked with sold almost 10 AK's I would guess.
Arsenal Seems To be out of stock of several top models.
The barrel ban
and the new crappy US made ak's with cracking trunnions and bolts
have made for limited supply of available quality AK's
just my opinion

I really need an AK to come closer to finishing my collection.  I just didn't know enough about them to choose at the time I had enough funds to afford one.  Now I couldn't afford one if it was 50% off on half price day.  Ideally I'd love to have an all American made AK but it doesn't seem like anyone has mastered the ability to build one here that works reliably...... and is accurate.

We have our own hydraulic press now so I'm pretty sure I can build them in my garage, maybe...
