First show I have been to in a couple of years.
I didn't pay for parking so it was kind of a win for me.
Didn't see the INGO table (was a last minute call from a friend asking if I wanted to go) so I didn't check to see where it was
I went last night and didn't see it either.
Just got back. Place a zoo and a lot of non-gun selling tables this time (a bajillion knife tables and a bunch of other crap). Not too many interesting things to look at.
I brought my SCAR 16 to sell and got a few low offers, but nothing worth thinking about. In fact, one dealer tried to low ball me by saying he could pick them up $1699. I told him that if he could do that, he should buy all he can and make a killing, since Dealer whole sale is over $2300 (and they are pretty much sold out everywhere). He immediately then offered me $2k, but I told him that I'd hold on to it for that.
I did get my Arsenal SGL31-61 traded for a Springfield M1A SOCOM and picked up some extra mags for about $30 a pop. I also snagged a Martini-Enfield .303 (1879 production date and an 1895 conversion date) for $520 out the door. So, I'm not super upset I went... but I'm really glad I'm back home.
It is a gun and knife show.Just got back. Place a zoo and a lot of non-gun selling tables this time (a bajillion knife tables and a bunch of other crap). Not too many interesting things to look at.

Hats off to the Indiana State Police! I didn't stop to ask details, because I already have mine... but they had tables where it appeared people could sit down and apply for their Carry Permit. I thought that was great!
Haven't been to the last few 1500's so I don't know if this was new or not.
Anybody know if they were doing fingerprints and everything there?
Reminded me the 1st show after Sandy Hook.
A lot of those dealers are idiots or at least thing we must be, just because the President spouted off about gun control doesn't automatically jumpstart a sellers market.
Being a used one a 2K offer from a dealer isn't bad.
I don't mind the offer. What I do mind is the dealer lying about the price he can get them for in an attempt to low ball me. It's very slimy and dishonest.
That's just what dealers do.
