It was really bad, after only 40 min I had seen everything. It was so small that they had to put up a wall splitting the room so it looked full.

i am begining to think there is an unwritten rule among gun show dealers that they MUST raise prices 10-20% above retail to participate in the show.

So much for finding that cheap upper I want....

I was hoping that the gun show quality would be better here than it was in GA, but I might be dissapointed. It looks like batering with the board is going to be the way to go.

Gun shows are almost a waste these days.  Not much to see.

I so much disagree

You just have to find the hobbiest dealers like me. Guys that for the most part do not have a FFL , are hardcore shooters and collectors and like the chance to turn their extra gear back into cash and have some fun doing it.
I normally get a table or two at each AGCA show , drag out a half dozen boxes of crap and turn some good money in a weekend. Most of this stuff is yardsale finds or range deals that I can sell for a very fair price and make a few dollars off of.  My motto is ," I did not bring this sh*t down her , to take it back home." We wheel and deal and "prices are mere suggestions".
I have 3gun and ipschosser help me out , we get to hang out at the show and meet new shooters and see a bunch of old friends. If you share a table with a buddy , one can watch the table while the other shops.
The tables cost around $50 each and are a deal at that.
Join the AGCA , get a table or two , drag out all that old , extra gun crap you have and give it a try , this is what shows were like in the old days , before a bunch of retired old heads turned them into a retirement job of making the gun show rounds.   They do not really care if they sell you that "thing" that you just have to have because they are doing a new show next weekend in some other town and they know if they carry it around enough someone will buy it one day for that outragious price they are asking.  
I say , Lets take back the Fun Show!!!!!    Get a table and join in!!
