[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2579360, member: 9374"] I will add, this was the best deals and experience I've had at any gun show in several years. I go to one of the two Wanenmacher's shows a year, probably, but don't usually buy much. Prices have never seemed all that great at gun shows to me. I did see some that I thought were pretty high, as usual. I think I saw a Taurus PT145 (or 24/7) for a fair bit over $400, which didn't impress me. I think I paid $380 tax and all for my PT145 at Wanenmacher's around 5 years ago. Nowadays, I don't look much at Taurus, but $300ish+ seems more appropriate to me for those models. The Shield I got was marked $379, although I saw one guy sellin' 'em this weekend for $450ish, I think I personally don't see how guys can sit there with the guns on their table priced $50-75 higher than others just a few feet away and have any reasonable expectation of selling them. There were several "private sellers" there with tables full of merchandise much better-stocked than most of the dealers. One guy had probably a dozen AR-pattern rifles in various configurations as well as a ton of accessories, but was still a "private seller". From my perspective, I'd be worried the agents we know are lurking would initiate some "investigatin'". Just me, I dunno. [/QUOTE]
