Prices from Gun Show

If you see something you want, talk to the dealer. I have things on my table that are overpriced on purpose. I can always come down on my price, but, can't go up. My price is usually dictated by the attitude of the customer. I attend shows both as a seller and a buyer. I had a dealer on Friday night actually say to me "Why should I sell you ammo at my price and have you put it on your table for less." I shook my head and walked away.

I'm not bashful. If it's something I think want bad enough you can bet I'll talk to the dealer. After spending 45 yrs in sales, I've found that just about everything is negotiable. But, you still have to be reasonable as both the buyer and seller.

I'm the same way. If I'm the buyee, I'll shoot you a price. You can say no.
If I'm the sellee, you can shoot me a price, I can say no. The main thing is go to shows, have fun, enjoy the atmosphere. We don't know how many we have left before they are taken away.

You're right about that. Especially where you live!

I had a good time at Tulsa last weekend just seeing and talking with some folks. Not to mention all the stuff to look at. I don't know where else you will find the variety of guns. Some were priced a little high, some too high and some were affordable. Find what you want, buy it if you can and enjoy it.

I guess pricing is pretty much the same no matter where you live. Win some, loose some and keep on going.

Few if any good deals or even decent prices at the shows any more. That's the main reason I no longer wast my time attending. The last good deal I found, at a show, was two or so years ago. Sunday afternoon, the seller was offering a nickel 2 1/2" Model 19-4 in good but used shape for $450.00. I did not buy as I had purchased a 2 1/2" M -66, just two weeks before this. Still kicking myself over that one.
