Anyone planning to go to the gunshow at the Expo Center this weekend? I'm thinking I will stop by after work today since I'm close to it. May try to sell / trade a couple of things.

I never go to gun shows anymore, but I would think - considering the incident in San Bernardino - that there will be a lot of "buy em before they're banned" pricing.

I used to love going to gun shows....but now they are just a hive of sellers getting together to charge higher prices. The only possibility for a deal comes from people walking around trying to sell their stuff but even then a 550 used glock seems like a deal compared to the 625 Glocks on the tables.

I'm thinking the prices are going to be inflated as well. The only thing I am marginally interested in right now is an Aimpoint for a rifle build I am working on and that will likely come from somewhere else. I will probably take a Glock 23 in with me and see if anyone is interested in it. I'm really on the fence about selling it, but it doesn't get used.

True. Too often it's like visiting the world's most expensive gun store - that also charges admission.

I may try to go tomorrow too.

Heard the crowds were pretty stout this weekend already.

Maybe you could post it for sale on a local forum. If only such a thing existed. That would be cool. ;)

Sometimes the show can be advantage. I can't often get up to Cherokee GP, but the shows often bring them closer, and they usually keep their show pricing consistent with their everyday store pricing.

CG&P pricing always kicks ass at these shows.

Online it seems cases of ammo have gone up $10-$12. Haven't bought any 'cause I have plenty and don't want to contribute to the panic.

Went this am. Just ran through before it got crazy. Looked like the show always does. I did notice the gen 2 Pmags used to be $10 now looked like most were $12.50.

That's better than expected.

Prices seem to be slightly inflated. Prices on ARs and AR accessories still seem holding but I found 30rd Pmags at one table for $17 each. Found a few gen 3 Glocks for under $500 new but you have to look hard.

I picked up some powder at a decent price. Some of the guys had ammo cans at great prices.

Saw my first jug of Clays in over 2 years.
