I saw i great T-shirt at a gun show "How come my stuff is always stuff but your stuff is always stuff?" That somes up gun shows nicely i thought.
"Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are
willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom." - John F. Kennedy
Heh! I remember when selling or buying at the gun show. Walk by a table with a rifle for sale. Table Troll would call out to me "Hey! How much for your rifle?"
"$400"
"We sold one just like it not fifteen minutes ago to a guy for $500."
Then I'd walk by with one I'd just bought, a Table Troll would call out "Hey! How much did you get that rifle for?"
"$400"
"We sold one just like it, maybe a little better condition for $300 not fifteen minutes ago."
As a kid, I learned a lot about life at the gunshows

Anymore if I go to a gunshow and have something I want to trade or sell . I don't take it in with me , but wait until I see something I want to trade it for or run across someone I know who is intrested .
I had a old guy try and beat me down one time in Harrisonburg VA . I was carrying a Pre 64 Model 70 Varmint in 243 with a factory stainless barrel and was asking $700 , the gun was an honest 95% . He walked up to me 3 times and asked what I wanted for it and each time I said the same thing , and each time he said I can get a new one cheaper then that . So I told him on the third time that the best thing he could do was go purchase a new one because mine was not leaving me for less then what I was asking ! Think it upset him off because he didn't ask again and he walked by me about 5 more times .

The dealers come to sucker the public and the public comes to get a DEAL and once in a while they both get what they deserve.
True, but once in a while you find somthing interesting...
Like the NAA Guardian I bought for next to nothing, knowing full well that it was broken... then sent back to NAA for a full rehab. Total rehab cost: Shipping fees.
Gotta love those "forever"/transferrable warantees.
