I have purchased many guns and other stuff from gunshows over the last 25 odd years, but I have NEVER seen the ridiculous prices I saw this weekend.
Mid 1970's top eject model 94's for $600+, Hi-point carbines (9mm, used, the old style) for $385,(all over the net for $199) Marlin 44mag $600 +,(Walmart has them for what, $395?), Rough WASR 10's for $395, New various Glocks $595.00, (Academy regularly has the same models $485). I could go on, but you get the picture.
I am a pure capitalist, so I do not begrudge a dealer a decent buck. But when an item is on a used table for nearly twice new retail, you know they are looking for a chump. Just sad. Guess GB, GA & Bud's are winning this battle.
Anyone actually seeing deals at Gunshows anymore?
