What did you buy at the 1500? (Jan '09)

[Shay]

I bought some custom fitted ear plugs.

I mostly went to hang out with friends (yes, I actually have some).

 

[Scutter01]

I met a ton of INGO people, which is awesome! I also managed to finally get my hands on a Raven Concealment Systems holster, which I've been meaning to buy for months!

 

[esrice]

After today's show, I've met 57 other INGOers FTF!

I went today (Sat) got there around 11AM, line was just out the door. Was in there for about three hours shoulder to shoulder. Bought a couple of mag extensions (2/$10) for my G27, buddy bought a tact 870 for $385. Best price i saw for 30rd mag for AR was $15, everything else was pretty much outta site. When we left the line was out the door around the building about two blocks and the crowd was still growing.

 

[Ruiner]

Didn't buy anything. Was quite upset with the amount of people and lack of decent prices...

I bought nothing. This show made gunbroker.com look cheap.

Thanks Osama I mean Obama.

I bought some from him over the summer. They are great. They do a much better job than foam earplugs. He is a really nice guy and knows his stuff. I thought they were money well spent.

I'm doing good to remember 2 of them I met today... virtus and rmcrob It's bad enough remembering names with faces, now I have to remember real name/board name/and face. hehehehehe

I bought pop, some roasted cashews and some fudge. The fudge couldn't be eaten at the show because it became to soft(ok.. waiting for the jokes). So I actually don't really recommend buying the fudge there this weekend. If tomorrow is anything like today, it will be hot and muggy inside the building.

did you get the blueberry cheesecake fudge because that stuff was awesome

I picked up some 7.62x54r and a bore light. I looked for specific things and didn't see anything in particular that caught my fancy. I also looked for an M1 Garand bayonet but thought the ones I found were too high priced. One of the sellers there had a crate of 91/30s for something like 86 bucks and a young man had his hands on the last greasy one but didn't know anything about them so I looked over the rifle and found it was a matching 43 Ishevsk in a wartime stock so I told him it may have even seen some fighting against the Germans and he was hooked. While explaining it to him another guy came up and started asking questions about them. I looked over some Mausers and found a couple of matching for a decent price but more than I was willing to part with for now. There were a few RCs that had the number scrubbed off the stock and priced for more than they were worth.

 

[bradp]

oh, sorry I missed you there today! I meant to give you a call, but so much going on I forgot!

Not a biggie, I've met you before

 

[public servant]

I didn't see anything I thought was a deal. It's apparent the dems taking over have scared the public and driven up prices. I saw an identical Romanian TGI Sporter 75 to the one I have. I know I got a good deal on mine, but this one had a $1500 price tag hanging off it. I should have taken mine and tried to turn an $1100+ profit as well. I could have made a couple hundred off my Yugo SKS as well. I did get a good price on a Winchester 1894 30-30 I sold as soon as I walked in the door. Beat the heck out of toting it around all day through that crowd.

 

[KDUBCR250]

Didnt buy anything and the crowd sucked plus I didnt meet any INgunowners there Seen 1 guy with a blue hat but he was busy with a customer so I didnt bother him. I could not believe how crowded it was WOW !

 

[Pami]

I'm starting to wonder how we DID see so many blue hats today.

 

[Scutter01]

I'm starting to wonder how we DID see so many blue hats today.

We were traveling in a posse. They found us.

 

[fg12351]

I went today at about 2:30 and was there for an hour. Man it was packed and HOT in there! I bought some Winchester LE JHP .40 rounds $36 for 50 which is OK. I also bought a small Pelican case for fire starting supplies for the bugout bag I'm building. Saw Tactical Shotgunner with his INGO hat but didn't get a chance to talk to him. I looked for an INGO table but no luck.

 

[Pami]

Good point.

I looked for an INGO table but no luck.

There is no official INGO table.

There are also no hats to be sold (unless you find someone willing to part with one of the Limited Edition First Run Navy Blue INGO Hats that Fenway sold last summer! There are only 75 in existence In The WORLD!

 

[esrice]

I'm starting to wonder how we DID see so many blue hats today.

Part of what I realized today is that when your head is down and you're looking at all the tables, its tough to spot blue hats on top of people's heads.

I had to make a concious effort to keep looking up and around the room to see if I recognized anyone. And I did!

 

[VN Vet]

I bought a book on German P08s, an original P08 magazine tool, some 9mm snap caps and lens covers for my ACOG,

Gun prices were high, the place was a zoo and shoulder to shoulder down most every isle. My feet hurt. I was there today for nearly three hours and my feet hurt. Oh, I said that already. About my feet.

I may go back tomorrow. I did see a firearm I would like to own, but if I can not get it for my price, well I guess I donated to the 1500 and the Fair Grounds Funds to park, get in and look around again until the next 1500 Show.

Oh, I did hear alot of rumors of things to come. Isn't there a commercial that says, "it's all about the O"?

Why do they call it the 1500?

 

[stormryder]

Got there at 0800, left at 1400.
Sold my HBAR to a guy, he didn't blink at my asking price. Just whipped out the cash.

Later on I thought maybe I should have asked for more money on the deal.

Otherwise it was ok if alittle crowded.
