Id think, best prices afternoon sunday. All the guys who over bought are going to want to get rid of what they have (they they cant use or want) and that will be the last chance they have to unload them.

[ROFL2] sure they will. FWIW: Looks like every LGS (ok most) along the front range are selling off their mag inventory saturday.
Most people have the mags they want/need and mags are available at most businesses. The run is over on mags and AR's and that was the primary demand at the busy shows earlier this year. The show could be a little busy on Saturday AM but I think it will slow down early. Prices are way down from the past shows and this might be a good show to attend to escape the heat.
Sunday at the last show was very quiet after the 1st hour and I suspect this one will be the same.
Just called a friend of mine working the show, he said it was a ZOO.

It's surprising you why? It's been a zoo for a long time...
How is the magazine inventory and pricing today?
Lots of inventory. We sold the few we brought for 14.
Pissed my table partner left my other 90 in the springs.
At least double the last shows attendance.

I'm not surprised, it is just busier than the last one.
I'll be there helping my friend tomorrow. If I can get on here I'll post.

I thought it was kind of slow. Prices as high as usual on everything. Did find a keltec pmr 30 for 650, didnt buy it. Ammo still crazy and surprisingly mags were pretty high also, better deals at the shops.
What kind of prices were you seeing on .308? Might try to get down there if it was decent ammo at a good price....
Yup. It was full but not packed. Tried to sell some of my 308 but I was shocked to see prices in 308 were LESS than .223. Mag prices ranged from reasonable (MOE @ 15.95) to OMFG (PMag 40 @ 60.00). Still no powder to speak of, most other reloading supplies were available.

I had two tables reserved, but we ended up skipping the show and went to the range instead. Sounds like I could have sold off some of the piles of mags and ammo I have left, but I still think we made the right choice. Despite a looming cloud, the weather cooperated and it was a beautiful day at the range.
I wonder how much the Magpul event affected the afternoon attendance...?

There was a guy selling Gen 2's for $65/5 ($13 each) That was the best price I saw. I did see some ridiculous prices on some other mags though.
Surprisingly I was able to pick up a pistol at what I thought was a okay deal. $90 cheaper then the price Specialty Sports had it marked at so I feel good about that.
Afternoon died off quite a bit.
I wasn't looking hard, but saw 7.62x51 Wolf Classic @ $315/1000. No better, no worse than any other deal you can find on oh, say, the TP right here. Can't say I noticed .308 prices much as I wasn't looking either. Milsurp M-80 ball was stupid high. I almost grabbed a couple boxes of Hornady .45ACP FTX @$25/20 but really don't need more. I needed 9mm Critical Defense ammo and found none. Some gun prices were still stupid crazy and there are those same dealers I see every show and laugh at, that keep dusting off the same overpriced handguns.
Dang Brian, no wonder I couldn't find you!
Yeah sorry, I was packing up the truck on Friday and had a long talk with my wife and helpers and changed my mind. We decided we probably wouldn't make much money with everybody unloading mags and the Magpul event competing with it, plus my ankle was really hurting from earlier this week and the idea I'd be standing up all day was not a fun one.
I was pricing my mags under that too - guess I'm too new to know any better. But based on the only other show I did, I'd probably just hear a lot of "oh man, I just paid twice as much on the other side of the show" instead of actually selling anything. And I spent all that time making up price tags for the guns and stuff too, LOL.
Guess I'll end up with several cases of mags I don't needstashed in the basement until I figure out how to unload them elsewhere. Pretty sure I'm not the only one... I really don't want to mess with gunbroker. :)

Going to the range on the other hand was time well spent. Got to help several people have their first full-auto experience. I love that gigantic smile that everyone gets when they pull the trigger on the happy switch. ;)
I sell for the the members @ $31.00 for a Glock 17, 17 round mag and $45.00 for the 33 round mags. non members get the higher price. I these prices are high but the supplier/manufacturers have raised their prices.
Also regarding the high prices I am selling new Glock 17s for $549.99 GEN 4.

Will you have 33 rounders tomorrow, and are they factory Glock? Thanks!

I couldn't afford all of them anyway lol. In that case I'm going to try and slip away tomorrow and come see you.
I also have 30 round AK mags for $13.50, no "per person" purchase limit on these. These are from "Plinker Tactical"
The show was busy for the 1st hour yesterday but quickly turned into a normal show. I didn't resemble the shows from early this year and the show was very quiet after 1 with most of the dealing going on between dealers. There are always good buys for those willing to look around.
There is a lot of ammo and prices are way down from earlier this year. I saw a fair amount of high quality self defense handgun ammo priced much lower than retail.

I guess I'm so jaded by the 22 anno prices and the of the gouge factor that I just ignore Tanner ammo these days! Nice to see low end ARs for $700-$800 and some pistols being good buys. Kahr CW9 for $386 and S&W E-Series bobtailed commander 1911 for $949. Also saw a FDE Kel-Tec PMR-30 selling for $1100+ - silliness for a $450 pistol. Colt LE 6900 for $750 was a steal.
Talked to many of the vendors about what they would do on Sunday. Some said same as any other day, would figure out how to sell the big magazines "afterward". Some said they were waiting if a judge would delay implementation based on the pending lawsuits (sheriffs, for example). One or two said a possibility of a last 2 hrs fire sale for the 16+ round firearms, Many said gunbroker or armslist to out of state buyers.
Going now to try selling this:

Went for S&G's today with Ray and just got back. I wanted to buy just (1) Tapco AK-47 30 rounder in case I pick up another AK in the ban future, however I wasn't going to pay more than $10 for it. Well I found exactly what I was looking for! For fun I peeled back the price tags and it appears that this bad boy had been around since the beginning of the panic, till today, the end. Wow, I just saved myself $30!
[Coffee]
Yup,looks like it will be a mad dump by the end of the show.
Nobody want's to be stuck with anything they cant make money on later [panic]
Heh heh. Left wanting to sell a gun, ended up buying a Mossy 590A1 for CHEAP at an estate sale. They threw me a bone and gave me an extra Russian bakelite AK-74 mag too. FO FREE.
Here's what I don't understand: how is everyone's knowledge of 5.45x39mm so limited? It's been around for 40 years now. While it's not nearly as widespread as 7.62x39mm, it's still quite commonplace.

You're not talking to the right people.
That was a very nice AK-74 and a nice deal. I'm very surprised it didn't sell there but there just doesn't seem to be many buying from walk-ins lately.
The last few shows have been pretty dismal for most of the dealers and they're all sitting on a lot of stock right now.

I believe EVERY vendor and FFL had every back order come in at the same time. Combine that with the pre 7/1 panic buying, for some folks and you have a lot of maxed CC's, empty wallets and in the red checking accounts.
Went, super impressed by the gun prices, but ammo was dumb for sure.

Regarding Jim's last post........ word.
I found it humorous that one vendor would have standard Pmags for $14 and the guy at the next table would have the same magazines for $65 each.
[facepalm]
What's more humorous is watching some of the dealers running around checking everyone else's prices before showtime to price theirs same/lower.
We used to tag the rifles $100-200 higher, then swap in the real tags just as the show started. [Evil]
Of course, the friendlies always knew what we were up to.

Next time, price them $200 lower! :)
brutal, thanks. I ended up getting an 11th-hour trade from a forum member. I was sad to give it up but hey, at least it's going to someone on here. And now I've got a decent optic on my Daewoo and a 590A1.
It's just as Jim said. The last 6-7 months have been panic-buying. No one has any money left. I can't personally understand going into debt over a hobby (and trust me, an active-duty Marine Sergeant doesn't make THAT much money), but that seems to have been the norm since Sandy Hook.

Talked to one guy selling the stupid priced PMAGs - he said he had to price them there since he bought them for $55 ea!!!! I guess he doesn't understand that reducing his loss by selling at current market is better then sitting on dead magazines and making nothing...

Anyone see vendors making good deals Sunday afternoon on either hi-cap mags or firearms with 16+ round mags?
By the time I left at 1530ish, they were starting to slash prices. I own something like 40 STANAG mags of various types and plenty of FAL mags so I wasn't looking too hard.

Nope.
Alot of these vendors don't understand how much time it takes to sell a product on Gun Broker, they'll find out now and they'll also have to compete nationally instead of locally.
There was a Tanner this past weekend, anybody go? Calm, & no crowds? Ammo availability? I imagine everything has calmed down a h*ll of alot. Just wonder how it was now that the mag deadline has passed.

How funny there was a Tanner and no mention of it here at all.
I don't know about you guys, but I didn't even want to think about it. Specifically made a point to find something else to do. I'm not sure what that means other than we're all pretty burned out, huh?
We had a couple of tables at this weekend's Tanner and, although there was significantly less public that in the past few shows, we had some really good sales numbers. The buying atmosphere seemed to be more relaxed and most vendor's prices were almost back to the pre-Sandy Hook days. Overall it was a good show (at least for us).
Went Sunday afternoon and it was not as crazy as in previous months. Gun prices have come down quite a bit, Glocks in the sub $500 range NIB, basic ARs $750-$950 range depending on manufacturer, stripped lowers $100, they even had a couple of Tavors for $2000.
I saw a bunch of 40 & 30 rd mags modified with rivets so they can only be loaded to 15 rds, but they were not selling.
Ammo and reloading supplies are still outrageous, $80 22lr bricks, $40 50rd 9mm boxes. Sometimes the shooting industry is it's own worst enemy, I'm trying to get a couple of guys at work into the shooting sports (USPSA) but they won't take the plunge due to ammo prices, they said who can afford to shoot with ammo prices so high, a standard match would cost $120-$140

Good, tells me people that attend guns shows are smarter than that. 40 modified to 15... PSHT
Magpul saturated the market with their mags (and I applaud them for that). It will be a while before people start buying magazines again; though I hope that, when they do, we will have gotten rid of the 15-rnd mag limit law.
I worked the friend's tables Saturday. Chatted with Alxone and Ridge for a bit.
Everyone was slow. I picked up a new SIG - P938 Equinox - for a good price from a normally higher priced dealer, especially since it was the only one of that model I saw at the show.
R&S is always setup across from us. I won't speak for Randy, but I'll say again, everyone was slow.
I did not attend but the crew I go with did well.
I went mostly looking for ammo and probably checked every vendor for their 9mm prices, the average price for a box of 50 was $20, some asking as high as $30. One guy was selling a box of 50 reloaded 9mm for $10 but I was sketchy on picking them up because he didn't know the guy who reloaded them. The low for a box of 50 factory 9mm rounds was $18 for a chinese brand. Since with shipping I can use gunbot to find 9mm for $.28 a round I walked away with nothing.
.22LR rifle prices seemed a bit high still, and the only glock I looked at was a 26 and it was priced at $530.

I went to check on components. Lead by itself is fine, but $30 a pound for W231 is not. $50+ per thousand on primers, too. Wonder how many of them moved.
One cool thing I saw was a vendor with collapsible/flat-pack target stands and a selection of steel plates to hang off them. Because I am an idiot, I didn't get a card off the guy. Does anyone remember who I'm talking about?

Dad's Wholesale had Winchester SPP for $35/1,000 on Saturday but I think those sold quickly.

I think Dad's CCIs were a little cheaper than that, even, but I went and springjobbed all my revolvers to take Federal only. Barf
$50 was roughly an average -- Dad's in particular had some primers in the mid-$30s, and CCI NATO at $50/1000. Other tables, you could pay $75/1000 for Federal match if you were so inclined.

To bad you're not closer i have 4K federals i'd trade for WSP or CCI SP
One interesting thing I saw at Tanner, but had slipped my mind until just now, was a table selling parkerized 80% lowers. I'm not quite sure what the appeal to that would be...

You don't need to fill out a 4473 to purchase an 80% receiver.

Yeah, but it's parkerized. When you finish it, the interior will need to be done as well. That means different colors and/or gaps in coverage.

yes, it was slow. I think it was a combination of peak sales at the beginning of the year with school and hunting season starting.
I am getting out of the Rifle business I think, sticking with self defense mainly (shotguns and hand guns). We have opened a warehouse and are casting lead bullets and the lead we are using is from a foundry (2, 6, 92) with certs. currently we are producing for ammo manufacturers but I am thinking of selling the over runs at the show, trouble is it is HEAVY to cart there.

You need some of those roll carts like Ammo Kan uses.

Those are nice and they help move the product from the parking lot to the tables. I think the problem is finding a handful of able and willing warm bodies to help load and unload the truck.
I think the Merchandise Mart rents their forklift and operator to help move heavy pallets from the parking lot to the show room. You may want to give Ty a call and ask him to make sure this is correct.
