Indy 1500 yucks

Obviously you weren't looking at the knives on Knife Lady's table because the only USMC knife that she has, is stamped "KaBar" and "USA".

Brad, it's refreshing actually. In a sea, literal, sea of junk knives and chinese made dreck, your table stands out with quality merchandise.

I need to ask you on your price on a SOG Agency one day when the car repairs aren't being cruel to me.

One of the guys at the Glock Doc booth told me that they were going to start working on M&P's now.

First time I saw someone selling surgical and chemistry equipment - the guys working the booth didn't look anything like chemists or physicians.

They were 2 booths selling 1st aid equipment.
Hershel- "meth lab guy" has been there for years. The beakers etc are what draws a crowd but I have outfitted several med kits with items I've bought from him
Wayne- He bid on a storage place at Atterbury and inside were many items left by the military. High quality for reasonable prices. Everything from hemostats and scissors to collapsible field hospital beds.
This guys are trying to make a few bucks and you may actually find something you "need".

Didn't make the last one. But I usually have an idea specifically of what I'm looking for, then compare vendors for reasonable price.

The drive, the gas, the cost of admission, the people, the rip off prices, people holding handguns wrong, I guess my tolerance has ebbed as I have gotten older. Cheaper to shop online and pay a hazmat than drive to Indy and watch all I mentioned. Gee, someone mentioned a giant sign that says "CLIPS", .........that's enough to irritate. I just don't want to deal with it and online is cheaper even with a hazmat.

Please, for the love of all things sacred,......... Learn to properly grip a handgun before you snatch it up and air gun it all over the place.

rant off, lol

You aren't alone there Fourtrax. While I just moved back to Indiana 3 years ago, I haven't been to the 1500 in about 8 or 9 years simply because it was just to chaotic. Vendors nearly stacked on top of each other, 5 inches of aisle space, Knockoffs left and right. Next to nothing labeled with a price and 5 different dollar amounts quoted to 4 people.

And you didn't even say hi. Stop by next time and say howdy. And yes, the crowd was nuts

I'm at Jack's Stuff, wearing a small backpack...................................

For those of us that KNOW BETTER it is a waste of time but is still an enjoyable get-away on occasion. Just go in not expecting much, same ole same!

I go with the expectation of not finding any good deals, but my little girl lives going with me. So for me, that's worth every penny.

plenty of reasons in here whyI Only go when I am broke. None of the prices are ever worth it. No reason to buy anything, just people watch and check out toys to find them cheaper online or in a lgs

Not necessarily, although I agree a lot of stuff is overpriced. You can still find deals now and again. I've found some private sale Nagants for low prices, and I picked up a SCCY CPX-2, NIB, for just under $230 at the last show. That's as good a price as I've seen. You just have to do your homework, and have some good luck. It seems to be feast or famine for me.

 

[Bang-bang]

Over Priced stuff is everywhere, everybody wanting top dollar. Like the pair of handguns on this site that is almost double what I paid at the #1 LGS .
