What is the best buy you ever made at the 1500?

[purd002]

I've never left that show unhappy about a purchase. This time I hope is no exception. As long as I walk out with my p229 scorpion, I'll be happy again!!!

I left with one today, got a heck of a price from the Wrigley table.

What was the price if you don't mind me asking? You can PM it if you don't want to say it here.

 

[purd002]

$850. Saw a couple others for $100-150 more

I got some of this last time I went

But you didn't have lunch with me, so it doesn't count.

I guess I should withhold judgement until I get back from Atterbury today, but I'd have to say that the Finn M39 I got yesterday is the best I've gotten to date.

Today I got a sig-saur 1911 OD green 22cal looks like its made buy GSG for $200 great deal for me.

I did buy 5 boxes of remington Kleenbore (dogbone) palma 22 long rifle ammo many years ago for 5 dollars. One of the 5 was worth 25 dollars. SO i have found something to buy that was a great deal.

I will admit the wallet lady haas set me up with a few nice gift and a money clip for cheap. She deals ask her. I normally don't stop at the flea market tables. I have one of her wallets in my back pocket now.

Earlier this year I bought an Interarms built Walther PPK for about $300, found out its worth a couple hundred more than that. It's been kept in great condition and shoots well. Earlier today at the 1500 I picked up a Webley mk VI revolver for close to $500. I'm not sure if it was that great of a deal yet but it seemed like a fair deal to me. The bore is in good condition but the cylinder has been cut down for .45 acp or .45 ar. Think i'll look into reloading equipment for .45's next 1500 so I can reduce the powder slightly to match the .455 pressures.

Coincidentally, I sold a Walther PPK earlier this year for about $300 at the 1500. So, if it was a stainless .32acp, that might have been me you bought it from.

I found out pretty quick that while the dealers list them higher, pretty much no one was willing to pay that much for it. I sold it for exactly what I paid for it a few months earlier (minus the 3 boxes of ammo that came with it, which I shot). The guy I bought it from sold it to me for about $50 less than he paid for it (he needed the money and I wanted to help him out, but I wasn't really interested in owning a .32, which is why I shot it dry and then sold it).

Bought a 10 22 from Midwest today for 190.00, Stopped by Bradis on the way up and the cheapest I saw one was 230.00.

Earlier this year I found Live Mil Surp 50 BMG for $1.00 each. I bought all they had (27) and asked if they had any more. I didn't make it to this show

 

[bcd007]

Ruger SR40c, have been in the market for months. Guys at MidWest had the right price, and seemed to know their stuff.

I was there on sunday..bought an sks for 200....thought it would be fun to have and shoot...we parted ways and i walked about 20 paces down the way and some guy offered me 250...i took the proceeds plus some of mine and bought a beretta cheetah 85...which i have always wanted

 

[MACHINEGUN]

I picked up an MSS sleeping bag for $75, it's brand new and I also got an OD Green Seabag for $5. These sleeping bags brand new still sealed go for over $300 easily. I seen more deals at this 1500 than any of the others, the economy is that bad.. 1500 vendors practically giving things away. It's definitely a buyers market.. everyone loves cash.

A Smith & Wesson 21 that I paid $350 that is worth many, many times that.

I just wish I was able to keep it.

I make kills at nearly every show. So many deals there, so few green stamps.

 

[SEIndSAM]

I didn't buy anything. I keep looking for the "truckloads of automatic weapons" that the media says you can buy at gunshows. I can never find them.

 

[Clay]

oh, silly! Those are out in the parking lot IN TRUCKS! duh!

Most recently? LNIB two-tone Smith M&P9 in the box with the docs for $399, or an unfired S&W 35 for six bills.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Pffft, oh, Tamara, there are no deals at the Indy1500.
