Noblesville gun show

[glock34]

I looked at an SKS and it was priced with a big sticker for $250. As I laid back on his table he said I will let you have it for $225. I told him I would probably come back. He said when I come back it will be $250. I told him then I probably will NOT come back.

Was thinking of going when I saw the post but thanks to the feedback I think I will pass...

Both the stroller guy and the scooter guy got old after a while, but its a decent strategy to push people out of their way. Just a bit rude though.

I went, found a couple decent prices on rifles, mostly just a couple 22 win mags. Thought about splurging and buying a stainless marlin for $225 or 250 if I remember right. But instead found the 1911 mags I was looking for so just got a couple of them. Prices were high on a lot of stuff. I did manage to find a high point carbine for $199 from the same guy I bought the mags from, but couldn't do both and wanted the mags more. It wasn't good, but wasn't horrible, it was worth the drive I needed to get out of the house, lol.

I got a steal on a 4 pack of orange AK-74 mags in the pouch for $60. I thought it was a good deal for their condition and with the pouch.

Sure, if you consider literally running people down "just a bit rude". I'd say it's technically assault.

i went today cause its only 10 mins away... it was worth the drive and 5 bucks to get in.. by no means a great gun show but was worth getting out for. i did manage to get 2 5.7 10 round extensions for 25 bucks and thats a solid deal so i can't knock it.

It was a decent show. Walked out with an xd9 subcompact NIB for $500, some ammo for the makarov and few various mags. Damn, I really need to get an INGO hat, I'm sure alot of us walk right by each other at all these events. :-)

 

[Goodcat]

It was a C+ show. No real deals (Silver Bear Makarov for $15!) but it beat watching the Tour de France on a rainy Saturday morning.

Yup, that's what I ended up getting, only because we were on the way to the range. I told him I'd buy a 2nd box if he cut me a deal. He said no. So I didn't.

Trust me when my 80 year old grandfather got pushed on to a table I was a bit pissed.

 

[grunt soldier]

i bet we all saw each other there. its crazy what a small world it really is. especially when your in certain circles like guns and sports. i will have to get a hat also

 

[CSK22]

I seem to be out of the loop, I'd like to get a tshirt or hoodie, any out there or do i have to make my own?

I was wearing my hat and tshirt, and no one said a word

but of course I didn't make it t here till the afternoon either.

 

[45-70]

I got to the show about 1030 Saturday morning and there were 2 guys there on electric scooters. Disappointed there was virtually no reloading supplies but did pick up a nice CETME at a reasonable price.

 

[pappy56]

I was there from opening until about 11:30 with my hat and shirt on and did not see anyone with Ingo gear on and no one said a word.

Spasmo and I were both there in INGO gear from about 9:30 til 10:30. You must not have been looking very hard.

In my defense, I'm usually too busy looking at the tables to be seeing people's hats.

I havent seen any comments regarding the large sign at the entrance regarding that the buying, selling, and trading between individuals (i.e. not dealers at tables) was not allowed on the premesis. (I don't remember the exact verbage.) I've never seen any sign like that at the 1500, and to the contrary, often see people involved in private party swaps and sales at the state fairgrounds. Im assuming this is a policy of this particular show, and not the Hamilton Co. 4-H, but I could be wrong.

That kind of cheesed me off. Sure, if I am running the show I would prefer to see business go to the dealers at the tables, but I don't know how much authority I have over what kind of transaction people make in the parking lot. I suppose that the sign is just a "suggestion" and of course has no legal backing. Any thoughts?

I've seen similar signs, but the ones I've seen were all obviously written and placed to keep you from blocking the entryway. Are you sure about the wording on the sign? It was a pretty narrow doorway with narrow aisles. I can see them putting up the signs for that reason.

(I didn't see the sign you're referring to at this particular show)

I was there around 11 with my young daughter. Saw one INGO hat leaving. It was super crowded and I felt like I was getting in everyone's way. She enjoyed looking at the tiny airsoft pistols the most out of the whole show.

 

[Biggdogg]

I went, but didn't go until about 3:00 Saturday afternoon.

Wasn't too impressed, but wasn't expecting a whole lot either. I was able to get some ammo and swap out a couple magazines that I had been needing to get rid of, so it wasn't a total wash.
