Gun show questions

I buy and sell sometimes at the gun show, sell one I am tired of, buy one I like. The cash flashing thing kind of always makes me chuckle a little. I ain't rich, but I ain't poor neither, i'm not gonna be all :what: over your wad of money, and I am not coming off my set bottom price. That being said, I usually set my asking price at about $25 to $50 over what I want for the gun. It seems like guys just love to get you off your price, and even if what you are asking is a good price, they won't buy unless you will come down a little. I guess I am even like that myself, if a guy is real stiff about his price. I have had several bad experiences with Dark Sun and will not buy from them. If you can't be somewhat courteous, then you are not getting my business. I rarely buy from dealers at the show anyway. Except for Trader Jerry's, I frequent their retail store often, and sometimes buy at the show. There is one dealer at the shows around here that will always stop you and want to look at your gun, then try to trade you some of his no name, off brand knives for it. I kind of snicker at him too.:D
 
Unfortunately, many of the table holders seem set on the hard sell, personally if they won't take no, I offer a lowball on a credit card, tends to get them to go away,

but a number of collectors sell at the GS too, and their tables (they sponsor the GS) are very educational, I had one guy explain most of the history of one of his guns. I'm not into Enfields, but it was still interesting.
 
..."Second, I’m looking for a fun carbine (rifle that shoots pistol caliber type of carbine) and I hoping for a few suggestions. I was looking to spend up to $500 for one."...

if you have a glock or 1911...

$359 for basic "upper". non-firearm, no paperwork or dealer mark-up to contend with. can be ordered/shipped at home. reliable system built to go the distance. 20-30% muz-vel increases make standard pressure semiauto handgun loads an entirely different beast. be sure to check out all of the accessories, quite extensive.
