Auburn Purchases?

[IndianaResident]

The show was surprisingly good, in my opinion. Got good deals on some stuff, and a ~16 year old girl showed me how to disassemble a gun. Embarrassing.

What is mine: Twin Yugo M57's, couple of cheap folder, and a morale patch.

Anyone else?

I bought a .22 bolt action Marlin cheap, and we sold a few, traded for a few. Had a good time, we will be there again in October.

Their Lagrange show is 7/29-30. It looks like they are starting one in Ft. Wayne and Merriville.

I think you actually lose rep when a teenage girl shows you how to disassemble a gun lol

I don't believe I'd have told that...

Very glad to hear this show was a success! I would have loved to have been able to go help support it, but I am still in the middle of moving . Looking forward to the next one though

Nah, that's GREAT!! It just means there's a fine crop of shooterchicks in the next generation. Those are future "moms" you know... (hand that rocks the cradle and all that).

I cant complain for $5, good way to kill a couple hours but I didnt see many deals. I did pick up a very nice belt for $35 a belt and an AK scope mount.

There was really only one gun shop that had any selection. Prices were ok, not bad and not great. The private collectors are flippin crazy on their prices. There was a guy on the South East corner of the building that was selling j frames for $525. Noting special, just run of the mill ones you can get for $329 at midwest right now and easily $400 or less anywhere new.

I was really hoping to be able to find some 9mm bullets for loading, but didn't see much if any.

In my defense, I was handling a gun for the first time, and like to think I'd have been able to do it unaided, but she offered to show me before I could try. I just thought it was a better sounding story in short form.

..but thanks for putting a positive spin on it.

At their Lagrange show there was a guy(who does a lot of NE IN shows) who had 115gr FMJs. I think I got 500 for $40. He should be at Shipshewana.

I really doubt that this show will survive. Basically a very low attendance on both Saturday and Sunday. Most of the vendors I talked to late Sunday told me they didn't sell enough to cover their cost of doing the show let alone make a profit. Also, some of them indicated they wouldn't come back to this show. For the record, this was my 2nd worst show of the year with the Batesville show being the worst.

It's a real shame that this show was not better for the vendors because the facility was nice and the promoter was very professional and did everything a promoter should do.

The show was a fair mix of old and new. There didn't seem to be many people there and not many of them were buying. I brought home an old Colt and a holster.

That's too bad to hear...

Gotta agree with Bradsknives, we were set up there, great organizers and venue,and really nice people to work with,but just a bad turnout and I just don't think most people had much money to spend.Hopefully the Fort Wayne show will be better, we'll probably set up there.I believe it's gonna be at the old K's merchandise Sept. 17th and 18th.They are new promoters, so gotta give them some time to get things right.

I get no respect when Knife Lady is in the house! , yes i did remember this, and forgot that it was Bradsknives that had it as his signature, but after meeting him, i remember know. Nice guy, and very nice knives.
