Prices at the 1500! is it worth going?

[Freezeup]

The only reason I like to go to the 1500 is the chance at a great deal or I am looking for something special. Do you think it is worth a 2hr drive to look at things that have tripled in price in the last month. I'm sure it will be a 2hr wait in line to get in. I love to go to the 1500, but I find myself not excited this time. What is the best day to go that the line wont be as long?

For me this 1500 will be like Madame Cloe's psychic readings, for entertainment purposes only. Then again, revolvers may be cheap.

I wonder, could the run on black guns and their ammo actually pull the demand from other weapons thereby lowering their price?

That'd be nice. I am thinking I will go if nothing else to trade some ammo or a few mags or something. Not sure yet though

Honestly, I think it will be an interesting show, and there always seems to be odds and ends worth picking up if you're not in the market for an actual firearm deal, but I live in Indy. That being said, I am positive that I would not make a 2 hour drive just to "marvel at the circus."

My guess is that it will be VERY crowded, much more so than what I hear is normal. Unless you don't mind being all squished in with a ton of people, some of which should learn to use personal hygiene products, I would pass on this one.

I'm guessing it will be a Circus...with ridiculous prices...Im NOT going..dont really need anything anyway, its mainly just for fun

Go to the show to enjoy looking at stuff you don't always see.

While there is a chance you will find "that perfect shotgun" or "that perfect revolver", you will probably find a whole lot of overpriced stuff. Then again, you might just find that perfect smoke pole!

Go for the fun of it, go if this is your first and just want to see Indiana's larges firearm and other stuff show.

But, do not go if you want to buy an AR-15, AK variant of any type, standard caliber ammo, or magazines for those evil ARs or AKs.

Purely going to laugh...and have a Raven holster made.

I don't believe they make holsters at the show anymore...

 

[whiskeytangofoxtrot]

The laugh is on me then.

I am going to pick up some .223 ammo for less than $400 a case.

I may just ride with a friend. It will be interesting to see the the crowds. Kinda like black friday, but with guns. Be on the look out for the most expensive ar/ak magazine and post it. That would be a fun game!

That would be cool to do. I may do that if I go on Friday.

Unless you're bringing something for me to buy, you should stay home.

 

[IndyKiller82]

What time is everyone getting in line that are going Friday?

 

[fullauto 45]

You will see everybody that bought a crappy lower now trying to sell it for top dollar. Remember the $79 lowers that nobody wanted? It is now $400+. It will be a sideshow and nobody buying. Ammo prices out the roof.

 

[Tydeeh22]

might throw my vepr on the back and a sticker saying "4000$" on it. who knows

 

[maxmayhem]

No...(Mods--this is a quality post)

 

[Vic_Mackey]

I'm gonna try and sling some stuff to the crazies lol
