[QUOTE="Nighthawk, post: 1494727, member: 3906"] I see a lot of good deals at gun shows, and have purchased more guns for myself there than anywhere else. But I always look for Colts, and weard odd weapons that you do not normally see, and items for some of my one of a kind builds that I do. Yes some dealers need a reality check when it comes to pricing, but there are several that do not. There are people that do not like gun shows, and will never like gun shows, and they like everyone to know it on any post that has anything to do with a gun show. Then there are others that love them like myself, because there are deals to be found if you look and stay at the show long enough. Don't be afraid to ask people that are walking around about the weapon they carry around the show trying to sell, look for the guy with the gun case, gun box, or who is carries around a big bag, it may be full of guns he is trying to unload because he is not into guns and was left them by someone. Most dealers put high prices on their items so that you feel like you are getting a good deal when you talk them down. I am different, I do not like to haggle, or sell at high prices. So I figure what the lowest price I can put on a weapon and still stay in business, and put that price on the weapon. Some dealers buy weapons at a high price, so their prices will be high to make a small profit. Others buy alot of weapons, they get them for less so they can sell them for less. Look for dealers with a lot of weapons, or who have islands, they are there to sell, sell, sell. But sometimes you will find a guy with one table that has some cool weapons, and very low prices, because he just wants to get out of the business, or he got a good deal on those weapons from a friend. Hope this helps. See you at the Oklahoma City show this weekend then the big W show next. [/QUOTE]
