9 - noon I believeWhat time is that? I'm working nights and am off today...
How is that show? Been thinking of getting a table for this winter
@Butter
My impression was that it was slow. I overheard some vendors who didn't sound overwhelmed with their business thru late Saturday afternoon. I, on the other hand, found some interesting goodies. One vendor worked with me to make a deal (and it happened). Another wouldn't even discuss the prices even though I was prepared to pay cash for two guns.
YMMV
It's hit or miss, really, finding an individual to buy whatever you have. Odds can go up or down depending on what it is. Ive generally had good luck.any of yall ever taken a gun to a show to try to trade for another gun etc?
Im wondering if it'd be worth my time to roll down there with this Mossberg I am wanting to sell/trade for another bolt action
Wandering around, we saw a guy with a metal briefcase. Taped to it was a sheet of paper indicating he had 3 guns for sale and a list of them. On the list was one that would interest me so we stopped him and asked for a list. He pulled out the pistol and explained it was some kind of test dummy for a gunsmith class. My friend mentioned it looked like it had been dragged down the freeway. His asking price was at least 4 times what I'd ever pay. My friend was more generous saying he didn't want it but might be willing to go up to around 35% of what he asked.any of yall ever taken a gun to a show to try to trade for another gun etc?

Sometimes that’s all a vendor might make on a gun sale. Unfortunately every gun show enthusiast doesn’t have a winning sales personality.I'm sorry too @draco88. Yes, I got there a tick after 2 and wandered around (drooling and trying to negotiate) until after 4. I'm not running a gun business so maybe I don't understand the dynamics. I found a vendor with some nice guns, two of which I wanted to buy. I asked whether he had any room to discuss the prices and he let me know absolutely not. I said I'd think about it but probably wouldn't go ahead at those prices. He said, "Well, I'll be here tomorrow". I replied that I'd driven nearly an hour one way and wasn't likely to do it again Sunday. His answer was that he'd driven 4 hours to attend the show.
So, wouldn't you think that a seller with a cash buyer in front of him, a seller who probably hadn't done much business yet (given his prices and the traffic in the show), who had invested a lot of time and money in participating in the show...would at least TRY to make a deal? Who knows, maybe $25 might have made the deal happen.
I agree but that might be all the vendor doesn't make if he/she ends up carting the guns four hours back home. I understand the sales abilities of many gun sellers is sorely wanting. I also understand not everybody strolling around a gun show is a serious buyer. In this case, I wasn't looking for a commodity gun, playing one vendor against another to get the lowest price. These were two old and used guns, both on my "list". Given the slow traffic, this seller had all the time in the world to engage me and find out what kinda buyer I am and what kind of customer I could possibly become.Sometimes that’s all a vendor might make on a gun sale.

Did not make this one or the competing show in Morganton...NC Gun Collector's show....
Wonder if the two shows had an effect on each other...
I know when they are 'together' it is a stronger show.... My 'preference' is the NCGC show, as the "stuff" is not filling the tables....
like others IF i wanted to go to flea market, I'd go to webb road, or Lex flea mkt.
