I’ve never been to the fall show but have been to the spring show a couple times (once as a vendor). Good luck emptying your table.
I went around 15 years ago. That was enough for me.
We are quite satisfied with the results. We had 'em priced to move and they did. We came home with a few that will hit the classifieds (two are up already) and we dont mind keeping 'em either. Not too shabby and got to talk to a bunch of people.
Sounds like you had a great show! Congrats!
And it was cool to have @Free Trapper come by and introduce himself. Too bad he wasnt there earlier to see all the good stuff....was just table scraps at that point. Still nice to meet fellow OSA members.
Two cool side-stories.
We had an awesome old .75 cal (roughly) muzzle loader marked JSF Botha, Cape Town, South Africa. A dude eyeballed it, said he'd be back then showed back up and we were said "Make an offer" and he said "I'm just going to pay you".
He said he had a friend, last name Botha, who lives in Cape Town...and he was gonna take this old thing and go hunt warthogs in South Africa when he went to visit them next trip.
Then, we had two Belgium Auto 5 Sweet 16's on the table with a good amount of interest...and a few lowball offers. Later in the day on Saturday a gentleman came by and looked somewhat familiar but who knows why, I'd seen about 256514 people that day. He asked about a price on the pair, I made an offer and he accepted. Then I asked his name, he said it was Art...then it hit me...Art Isaacson of www.artsgunshop.com who is one of if not the premier Belgium Browning guy. I've stopped by his place and had him work on my Superposed and Auto 5 a few years ago.
I thought both of those were really cool...ya just never know.

I would have stopped to introduce myself but like a dummy I didn't mark down booths OSA members were at and couldn't login on my phone :/
Dang,
From looking at the pics, you did thin out a lot by the time I got by your tables Sunday afternoon.
Glad you had a good show!

I would have liked seeing that muzzleloader, that sounds like one darn big ball of lead would be comin’ out of that thing. Turn a Warthog to a Mushhog.
