Well damn...I thought having more sellers meant being able to bargain
Posted on 1/9/13 at 11:23 pm to mpar98
There will be many more buyers than sellers

Unfortunately with all this hoopla there will be more buyers also.

There will be a wide variety of swords and throwing stars there.

No. You will get ripped off. Everything will be overpriced.
That said, I'll probably be there selling PMags and possibly a gun or two.

Jim's has actually not raised their prices on the stuff they have left. I actually got a good deal on an AAC 300 blk out upper today.

Guns shows have sucked for years. You will not get any deals.

I screwed up and got there early because I had the time it started wrong. 1 hr and 15 min early and there was already 100+ people in line ahead of me. People that got there about the start time had to wait close to 2 hrs to get in, not to mention the show overall sucked. Very small, Very expensive, very crowded.

It's pretty rare to get a deal at a gun show and has been for quite a while (meaning several years)

Before the gun craze? sure. Now? Probably a 30%-50% markup on everything b/c price doesn't matter to most people buying

Yeah, several years ago I was under the impression that you could find good deals at gun shows, but that's not the case anymore. I bought my AR in 2008 and the only reason I lucked out was because they had a private seller there that made me a great deal. Most of the dealers won't budge at all.
Sometimes you might be able to get a decent trade, but I don't think I'll be attending any gun shows in the near future.
