There is a gun show going on in my town right now. I went yesterday. As usual the prices were shockingly high. Dealers were all griping about low sales. Dealers with accessories and supplies priced right were doing brisk business. And, again as usual, many dealers covered their tables in early afternoon and left still complaining about low sales. I have to wonder how, when they are not there and tables are covered they expect to make sales? Guns are big ticket items. One sale late in the day can be very important.
I'm sure many dealers are trying to cover travel expenses by raising prices but I don't see the logic when those prices dissuade buyers. Still, the place was packed. I think mostly with people like me who won't pay those prices and are mostly 'lookers'. I did add a little to my obsolete cartridge collection.
