The gun shows around western PA used to be decent events to attend. Dealers brought boxes of dusty old accessories, gun parts, reloading equipment, and lots of odd stock firearms from their stores. Big ammo dealers had pallets full at great prices. Case and holster dealers had all their stuff at wholesale.
Nowadays all the old accessories they bring are also on the Internet auction with the dealers unwilling to sell at a reasonable price because some idiot on the net might just bid $200 for his Save 340 magazine worth $40. The odd stock fireams are priced at $100 over the highest price they saw on Gunbroker for their "like condition" item. The only ammo deals are on mil spec bulk 223, .40 and 9MM, and the cases and holsters are all at full retail list.
Every other table is gutter guard, foundation sealing companies, retractable awnings, sun room contractors and of course beef jerky.
