I am debating on getting a couple of tables or not. Got to look at my inventory and see if it is worth doing. Will definitely attend either way.

Same folks as pcola show? Read tables are 90 dollars now

Some from the pcola show, but it definitely has a difference mix. I plan to go on Saturday.

Better than the P'Cola Show? How is it different? May want to go for the first time.

Not better, "different". It's just a different experience. For a REALLY different experience go to a Mississippi gun show. Not sure how they are now, but those from 15/20 years ago were something else. We used to ride over to Biloxi, go to the gun show, and then stop by one of the casino's for a good cheap meal, drop a few quarters in the slot machines, and then come on home. It made for a very nice little excursion.

I used to live on the MS Gulf Coast years ago. You're right, the Biloxi Gun Show used to be very good. Then again, I'm sure that most gun shows years ago were very good. You could actually get discounted items back then.

$10 admission and $90 tables!!
Does that appear outrageous to anyone else?
Personally, I am not going. And I think we should start organizing quarterly swap meets.

Oh Hell .... I am a Good Idea Fairy. Deeply ashamed I don’t have an executable solution. Does anyone have an acre of flat dry ground we can set up tables?

Yea the cost has definitely crept up more than it should

Same, I haven't been to one in a bit so me and a buddy may go and see what's up. Might carry some of the stuff we have extra and some cash and see what we can make happen.

Long live dirt cheap surplus. What we need is another good old fashioned international arms race

I will say I have consistently found better deals /more interesting things at the fort walton show.

Ok, it's gonna be pretty cold on Sat. On your recommendation I'm gonna go.

In between a couple of military bases, probably draws all kinds of stuff out.

how would this show be for trading? Will be my first time going. Been trying to trade my long range gun for a bit and figured this would be a good excuse to go.

 

[ls1_guru]

Just a matter of running into someone interested in what you have and making the deal

Any show is a good place to trade as long as neither trading party doesn't get greedy. Someone on here recently said that they would consider trades as long as the trade was in their favor. WOW. Neither party should feel like they are getting screwed.

At least they admit it. It's just the same as low balling someone, just with an item instead of a shallow money offer.

I think people put that on a sale item when they really would rather sell than trade.

Haven't been to that show in a couple years, prices are definitely up.
