Charlotte Gun Show

[Bandit01]

I just need to vent!

I went to the Charlotte "crappy" gun show over the weekend, looking for a S&W 610 (10mm revolver). I saw a used one, selling for $620. That's B.S., I would never pay that type of money for a used, scratched up pistol.

Whats the deal with NC?
We never have good gun shows.

Actually the Greensboro show is pretty decent. Of course they only have the last weekend in January and the last weekend in August. Of course I might like because my wife does my Valentines shopping at the January show and Anniversery shopping at the August one.

Honestly, it wasn't worth the wasted gas and $7 admission fee. It was all junk. Plus, there were no deals out there. I could go online and find better deals. Plus, what's up with all of the Civil War memrobelia (sic).

Sunday was a bummer too..

Yeah, I went down Sunday with a couple of guns to sell and there were so few people, with so little money, that I only stayed a couple hours. And didn't see a thing on the tables to tempt me. One dealer did have a good looking Colt ?Delta Elite? in 10mm in a presentation case. I think it was a numbered edition or something...for a mere $1200. I'm wondering if Hickory on 25-26 June will be any better.

ulflyer, My wife and I drove up to Hickory for a gun show....once....only once. I was quite convinced that a tractor trailer carrying airsoft and camo stuff had to have flipped on I-40 and they were trying to sell the stuff off as opposed to moving it somewhere. Very little guns.

By the way I haven't had a chance to answer your emails, cannot access the home account from work.

If I'd known about the show at Charlotte, I probably would have went, but advertising of gun shows in Charlotte, when two hours away, is typically by word-of-mouth.

As for Hickory, I went to a guitar show there, once, and they had a gun show in the other conference hall of the building. I got a ticket for the guitar show and it let me into the gun show, too. Bad thing was, there wasn't anything worth having, so I didn't buy a single thing from either one of the shows.

Hickory

I went to Hickory in March and even tho its a lot of the same dealers that are at Charlotte I managed to get one decent buy off a private table and sold one at a fair price. And I like the wide aisles they have. With summer coming on, everything slows down and seems to get worse on into fall.

Just realized theres a fly-in on that saturday at Lake Norman and if wx is good I'll go to that instead; otherwise I'll give it another try.
