[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 4178067, member: 13337"] It was a bit of a disappointment,,, I walked the entire show, twice, in less than 45 minutes. Lots and Lots of bolt action hunting rifles,,, Only a few mil-surp rifles and they were way overpriced. Or maybe I'm just behind the times as far as current prices go,,, I mean is a $700 price tag on a beater Chinese SKS valid. The Russian one was tagged at $1,000 even. Normally I don't ever say anything about a man's asking price,,, But when I saw a Kel Tec P17, obviously used, with 3 mags,,, And his asking price was $375 I had to speak out. I only spoke out because he was actively trying to sell it to me. "You do know I can order a new one from Gunbroker for $214.95"? "Not the OD Green ones." he replied,,, "They are collector's items." I couldn't restrain myself,,, I laughed in his face and walked off. The high point of the show was running into an old colleague of mine,,, A professor who teaches at the college from which I retired,,, We had a nice conversation catching up on gossip. I need to do some research on the value of my handguns,,, According to the prices I saw on the show tables,,, All of my S&W revolvers are appraised low. An absolute beater Model 10 with bull barrel - $675 An absolute beater Ruger Single Six - $425 A reasonably nice Model 36 snubbie - $1,200 A very nice Model 629 6" - $2,800 I was there for over an hour and didn't see one gun sale take place,,, The vendor selling biscuits and gravy for $6.00 a plate,,, Was the only one doing any business. Oh well,,, I had a nice outing in any case. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
