What a cluster**** it was!
Soon as I got there at 9:30 (when I finished standing in line to get in), I went right to the AMMO Booth and stood in line a full Hour and 55 minutes till I paid for my megar ammo purchase (they were out of /22 RF, 20 Ga Buckshot and all 20 Ga shells save SLUGS!)
I The supply of .38 specials was down to 8 boxes of PMC 38 gr solids (of which I bought 5 boxes just to have some .38's on hand...
I bought 2 5 round boxes of 29 ga slugs just to have something bigger than #7 1/2's on hand,
All in all what a early morning!
I then cruised the tables and found marked up prices on revolvers. Many were marked up around 40% over their worth and sellers were pretty tough to haggle with since the uniniate were paying "Sticker" prices. Shotguns were mrked up bout the same and if they had any quality to them at all, prices started at $1K
yep it was a moneymaking oppurtunity and few were passing it up!
I was rather disheartened by the geenerallack ofwillingness to haggle prices, for the same booths ,lat show were more than willing to deal!
I guess I can't blame them the show has turned into a profiteer system with the Obama panic. I just have a different set of moals and wouldn;t be out to rape the system.
This is the future?
I am afraid so.
The friendly Turlock Ca Fairgrounds deakers have sure changed!
Might be my last show...
