Well, I wasted $8.00 getting in to the gun show this morning. To say I was surprised at the prices is an understatement. Since I have been shopping a lot lately I know what these guns should go for and the prices at the show were 10-20% higher than the local gun shops. Used guns were just as bad. Heck, there was a $40 difference between two tables on the same gun. You apparently aren't allowed to ask about that or the higher priced seller gets pissed and rude.
Here are some examples that I found to be WAAAAY out of line for a gun show.
XD-40 sub compact $550
XD-9 service $550
XDM-9 service $650
Mosin Nagant $179
Taurus PT111 $389
Kel-Tec P11 $325
Kel-Tec P32 $299
Rossi .357 $389
S&W Sigma $369
Used guns were just as bad
1st gen Kel-Tec p32 $279
1st gen Glock 23 $450
Hell, even the Highpoints were in the $160+ range.
Reloaded ammo was higher than new at Walmart.
There was one table that was getting the most business. When I went over there the prices were lower than the rest but still higher than the Army Navy Store.
What a waste of time. Gun Shows were once the greatest place to find awesome deals. Now it's just a gimmick.
