    In my opinion, the $30 transfer fee is unwarranted and not necessary but this might just be a money maker for them.
    Still might be worth going by.

    Thanks for posting about the Swap Meet.
    I scrolled through the posts but found nothing from Rebel Rider. I don't understand your comments, I find him to be entertaining with his posts, love the pics from up north.
    Maybe ask him face to face rather than bash someone on an open forum? ( I guess I did just that. My apologies.)

    Looks like we both edited our posts so it’s all good. No big deal.

    It isn’t. The practice predates the atf’s latest lawsuitimeanrule.
    Grey man has the same policy, I know from experience.

    The one swap meet I went to, was totally worth it. Even after the paperwork fee I paid half price, on a pistol that’s been in rotation for the last 5 years.

    The more I think about it, I think I’ll get a table. I’ve got a bunch of stuff to get rid of.
    Stop by and say hello. I’ll probably have some vintage ammo, a backpack or 2, fishing rods and a Ruger Single Six on my table.

    I am already to head over there this morning. I went digging around last night and found stuff I forgot I had. These things along with a few others off my shelf and ammo rack are going to adorn a table. Hopefully, I will be able to leave without everything I bring.

    How did this go? We had a trip planned but I would have attended otherwise.

    Not many guys selling. There was only four of us. I sold a few small items and eventually left at 11am. Before I left, a couple guys did sell a firearm or two each. Not a lot of foot traffic. It was much better and busier on the last one they had. I think the gun show in Pensacola may have taken some of the traffic away from the gun swap.

    Concerning the $30 transfer - Chris came out before it got started and said they are doing $30 transfers inside and it might offer the seller some degree of protection but that’s all he’s gonna say.
    So, there was no mandate or pressure.
    I sold a few things but the attendance was disappointing.
