Middletown, NY Gun Show, Anybody Go?

[Speedo66]

Just curious if anybody went, and what they saw.

Interested if there was any reloading items (powder primers, etc.), and if ammo prices have receeded somewhat.

So, what did you see, and what did you buy?

That show has gotten worse every year.

I don't know which is worse, seeing the same stuff at every show, or smelling all the body odor coming off the attendees.

I went. Not so great. One guy selling "military" stuff: AR lowers, 3 AKs. Mostly surplus and old scoped rifles and the usual junk and airsoft.

Prices on AKs did seem a little lower: $500, and at another table, one Saiga at $480.

Totally overloaded with the entire parking lot overfilled and blocking fire access; 10 minute wait to get in at $9 each.

Then we went to Gander Mt.; heavy traffic, little ammo, few revolvers, no ARs/AKs.

Sorry, next time I'll shower first!

I used to set up at the show ---I called the lady who takes reservations.
She asked whatI sold- Guns and Ammo mam--YOU can only bring a few boxes of ammo--????? What????--Seems she is protecting the AMMO dealer there-..
I went and when I went to fill my tables and bring my stuff in the show I ask another dealer [from down sate] if i might slide has table out a bit so I can bring my cart in the show through the door--NNAAaaaa I paid extra for this table .. Next I am looking for a phone book I ask another person there Sir --WAADdaaaYYYaaa want? Im looking for a phone book --I dduunnoo anything!
I have never seen such miserable people -All I can think of IS this what its like to be near NY city??:banghead:

This show has been going down hill for a while. Seems like there's more people selling books and tchotchkes than guns.

Oh gee, another NY basher? How unusual!

No, what you ran across are some miserable gun show dealers, not necessarily from NYC.

You could have had the same results anywhere, just look at all the posts here about the crap people hear from dealers at shows. Everywhere!!

The parking lot was not properly plowed or salted. It was a nightmare trying to get in. Accidents all over

These guys had the NY accent! The woman who runs the show is a nasty biach
We showed up 5 min after the time allowed to unload --They would not let us even dump our stuff inside the building so we could sleep in the Van --So We set stuff outside the van and slept with one eye open.
Seems some dealers get front row tables and get first dibs on guns that walk in ==SO I stood in the front area of the show to try and get equil time with the front row guys --ONE of them told me -IF your a dealer standing there we will ask you to be removed from the show ---YEAA YOU and WHO else -!!!!!
NYC types YOU bet ya -- And why do I hate Down state ?? Im from Buffalo are soon to move to KY!
On the plus side someone got passed the front row with a minty 1903 that I bought

Sorry you had such a bad experience at the show.

Hope things work out for you in KY.
