Wow is the only word. Packed, I thought they would need to stop selling tickets(fat chance). Everyone carrying one or more items to sell. I sold my items within a half hour so I was ready to buy. Lots of nice stuff but it was hard to see with four deep lookie-loos and impassable aisles. Almost bought a nickel 2" model 10 sq bt with proper box for $250 just for the diamond magnas. If it was in nicer condition I would have. There was a nice .22 Colt OMT for $650 but the long barrel didn't call to me. Not too many N frame gems that I could see, but I couldn't see much. I again abandoned ship early as there was a quarter mile line to get in at noon. It was only going to get more crowded if that is possible. I hope somebody posts something I missed because I didn't get a thing and just finished lunch at the house. Joe

Thanks Joe, kinda glad I didn't go. Glad you did okay though.
Sebring show was well attended, but with Orlando going on and another show in Fort Pierce ours was pretty lame. Lotsa jerky and T-shirts. About 160 tables with 30 or so empty.
I sold momma's Browning Baby at the right price and took a little loss on my Ruger LCP mainly because dealers are selling them now for $289.
Can't wait for Lakeland. Met an engraver friend today and he's picking up two guns there and should keep him busy for six months.
Take care my friend.
