    I'm sure you can still sell it. I'm wondering if I will be able to pick up some 7.62x39 ammo if I go, or would it just be cheaper to pay the $250 per 1k and have it shipped. Also have a couple things I could sell.... I hate to be the douche walking around with a sign on my back of what I have to sell..lol.
    A sign on your back is not being a douche. Standing right in front of a vendor's table hawking your wares ... that's being a douche. Nothing personal, just saying.

    Well, the Valpo show was cool. Definitly smelled fresher Than Crown Point show, but you could still count on catching a whiff of ass about every 15 minutes.

    Is this just the standard scent of gun and knife shows?

    Anyways, I went specifically to look for some new Knives to add to the collection. I basically just hung out at Brad's Knives & Knife Lady's Table. Brad was there with Dean Crail, awesome people if you haven't had the pleasure of talking with either of them, make an effort to, you won't regret it. Although, you may pick up a new habbit.... I walked away with a new microtech and added a couple reasonably priced customs to my "list". I almost doubled back to blow my wad on a BEAUTIFUL ADV Butcher, but I'm glad I didn't as I came home to a broken Dryer and burned up Vacuum Cleaner... Looks like I'll be spending my money on what my wife calls " more important stuff" in the morning. Pfff, what does she know about high end cutlery...

    Anyways, if you are considering going to the show, Take a shower then Go to the show! Bring cash!

    Ah, you got Crailed! You're stronger than I, resisting that AdV Butcher. Had you succumbed, it would have been a DOUBLE CRAILING!

    Nice little show. Was able to off load my Savage for asking price in 2 seconds within the front door. Walked over to ZX and picked up another for the same price I had sold the other one for.

    Next I went to a hand loader guy and sold a bunch of range pick up brass I had. Then hit the jerky guy and used the money from the brass sale to pick up some gator BBQ.

    I don't think I was there an hour and zero money left my wallet. Nice time. I got me a new toy and some snacks.

    I've heard good things about the Valpo show. I could go and visit a buddy in the area too, but it would have jeopardized my sobriety!
