We need to get some INGO swag up there. Maybe that would be enough to tempt me to go and fight the madness.

This reminds me, where has Delmar been? He usually posts about Nappanee.

Never happen, the INGO Bugatti sucks to much gas for a trip this far north.

I am thinking of making the drive from Dyer- Is this show mostly dealers or are there a lot of private sellers also?

 

[other dave]

This is a club show and nobody is allowed to have more than three tables. Considering it is a 300 table show that means a MINIMUM of 100 vendors. No big box dealers, mostly collectors and hobbyists.
Remember that Nappanee is on eastern time so you will lose an hour coming from Dyer.

Thanks Dave! If WaltO can make it, I can get up early! It sounds like it will be a good show-

But old guys cheat! Walt is coming tomorrow to set up and then he's staying in Lakeville Friday night.

Walt Cheat? I'm thinking he's smart!

So what's the verdict. Was it a good show today with plenty of selection available ? Prices average or high ? I wasn't able to make it today so I'm just wondering.

I thought it was one of the best shows I had been too in awhile (not counting the .22 ammo price). There were a lot of guns. There were a lot of nice guns too (lots of Colts, BHPs) at pretty good prices I thought.

great show I thought. Lots of selection. got some .22 and some pistol primers. favorite part of the show was some guy trying to sell a GLOCK 42 for 749.99. I asked if he had some wiggle room in his price and he said it was very firm so i shot him a smile and walked away

That's ALMOST as funny as the idiot on eBay trying to sell a Glock 42 magazine for $149.

It sounds like I missed a good show this time around. I was told by another member there was a guy who had 11 M1 Garands which I'm currently in the market for. I would have had a hard time not leaving with one of those Browning hi-power pistola's either. Drat! Dog gone sinus infection kept me home.
