So you want others to waste their time instead?
Leave your heavy coat in the car, they got heat.Long as they have heat I'm going.
I did not see anyI drove by earlier and it looked like a big crowd. Anyone selling military surplus pants there? I could sure use some new ones........but it seems all of them are made so cheap now days I hate ordering online, never know what I am getting.
eh. They all do this. Dan that runs the 1500 offers circle jerks to all his buddy dealers or used to.Here is the problem...just in Indiana alone, we have at least 6 different (maybe more) promoters doing shows, with central Indiana getting over saturated. We have the Indy 1500, Holt Rd., and the Marion Co. fairground shows. Then you have the surrounding areas....Anderson, Greenfield, Franklin, Lebanon, Kokomo, Lafayette, Bloomington, and I'm sure I have missed a few. A lot of these shows are well established, and vendors have been attending these shows for years, and many vendors like myself have already committed to attending these established shows for this year. So, when a new promoter rolls into town and tries to start a new show, it's going to be difficult getting quality vendors to attend because they have already committed to these established shows.
Another concern is, if this promoter is telling one person, “buy one table, and get one free', and then telling other possible vendors that each table is $25.00, there is going to be a problem...it's not good business, and most vendors will avoid this “game playing” by a promoter. I try avoid any promoter that plays games with table pricing. Let's say you rent 4 tables at $25.00 each for a total of $100.00, then you find out that certain other vendors with the same amount of tables only paid $50.00......... How would this make you feel?........that is the problem, and a guarantee that I, and other vendors wouldn't come back and support this promoter's shows.
I wish this promoter well, and hope that his show is successful, but he's going to have a tough road ahead of him getting this show established with quality vendors.
The 1500 is smack in the middle of the hood at the state fairgrounds.I can't answer since am in the "hood" myself. Some people think all of Indianapolis is the "Hood".
yep same dealers that are always just showing off their goods to smart buyers because only suckers are buying it sounds like.Picture of the big room with stout field. That's about what we have here. No bargains to write home about, 550 for a G 43? Most was fairly reasonable. Oh well, guy will be here in 48 minutes
uh yeah. Mars hill is the hoodI did INARNG, Duty, at Stout Field, and it is NOT "in the hood" .....
The closest neighborhood, is a half mile west, on Minnesota St.,
and almost 1 mile south, south of Raymond St., is Mars Hill .....
If that is the "hood", then what do you call 38 and Mitthoeffer ?????
Was it the one who looked 12?In and out in about 15 mins. Not too bad for a first show. Officer at the door didn't know how to operate my 1911 with the thumb safety on.
Saw a vltor casv-el under some tacticool crap.
I saw him too. I figured he was a cadet. Funny thing is when a couple of my friends came in he "secured" one of their pistols by putting the tye wrap through the mag well, just like every other show. The next pistol he just put it through the trigger guard hanging down. Same thing with his bolt action rifle. I think he was getting flustered.Was it the one who looked 12?
Tongue in cheek.Saying it like that makes me seem like a bad person...but yeah.
