Ohiohunter2014, I go to the same one for the last several years, few times per year, but while paying that $6 ticket is not a problem and parking is free - this show is good just for people-watching and gun-browsing. I gave up long time going there to actually buy guns -I would rather buy from few local gun dealers in the area ( Parma and Parma Hts. got 3 new small gun stores in the last few years). The main reason for not buying guns at this gun show is that are grossly overpriced.
Also, the big turn-off for me are those ''dealers" ( usually 2-3 really old guys- friends to each other) siting there whole day, not selling anything, not doing anything ( but being so lazy to put some sort of security cable on their "inventory" of up to 15 guns) that have a sign that says '' DO NOT TOUCH GUNS WITHOUT ASKING" .
I almost want to say '' No Sir, I wasn't interested in that used piece of you know what, SW Sigma that you are selling for $469 anyway !"
The other thing that was disgusting was the price of 22LR ammo during the shortage. Not that I ever bought any from them, but I still can't forgive them that
