It has been October since I last had a table at a gunshow. I have one this weekend but I am not sure what to put on my table. I usually put some of the good deals that I have found in the past year and have enjoyed for awhile, but no good deals are around much anymore. I am not at all sure that I could replace what I have at any price, right now, as I am not seeing many used guns at the pawn shops, mostly new guns.
I typically would purchase something that caught my interest, study it, shoot it, and sell it if I didn't want to make it a permanent part of my collection. I pretty much sold everything that fit that description last October, with few if any new purchases since.
I am toying with the idea of just putting something out with an outrageous price to see how crazy people are... (I know some think we gunshow people do this already ) I don't like this idea because I like the thrill of the deal, talking with others and having everyone happy at the end of a transaction. (Last October I had 7 such transactions in one day...'til I had nothing left to sell or trade!)
I am also considering just putting out some for show, with "Not For Sale" on them, just to have some conversation.
What do you think? Would you be put-off or angry with my suggestions?
