[QUOTE="dwkennedy, post: 2071143, member: 1717"] I have the "one crazy price" rule at gun shows. If I saw a $2200 CMMG on a dealer's table, I would keep walking and not even bother to look at all the other stuff. From my experience, if they are marking one item way up, they usually have a proportional mark up on all their other goods. At big shows like Tulsa I don't have the time to search for bargains among big piles of gouge. OTOH if they have a reasonably priced item front and center, I spend more time (and money) at that table. I don't even bother asking prices on unmarked items any more. Never once did I find a good deal on an unmarked item. Therefore my second rule, "If the price isn't marked, I can't afford it" Third rule is, "just because it's at a gun show doesn't mean it's a good deal". Back when Outdoor America was a going concern, they were usually cheaper than the gun shows for new guns. Sooner State Pawn and the Internet are filling that role today. This is doubly true considering the price of gas and increasing gun show fees. [/QUOTE]
