Taking guns to a show?

[Doc45]

Ok in all the years I've been going to shows I've never, ever taken more than one that I wanted to sell without being able to put them on a friend's table. I'm thinking I'll try the next Tanner but will have 2 handguns and 1 bolt rifle. No one I know will have a table at this one so I'm left with hauling them around. IF I decide to still go what's the best way to get attention for the three of them (yeah, I know I could fire them off and run around like a crazy guy but that's just not me :D)?

Stick flags in the muzzles with your asking prices?

And tape a note to the bag or case the pistols are in with their info and asking price. I was surprised how quick I sold a couple items doing this at shows in the past.

Last time I sold a gun it was at the Knob Creek show. I had a handgun in my backpack and pinned a laminated info sheet wth a photo and large bold print to the backpack. Worked great.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, really don't want to waste a day at the show so if I go I'll take these suggestions. Much appreciated.

Yep, this.
It makes it much easier to carry around. Also the wood dowel with a for sale flag in the barrel waving above your head should get the attention of some people.

In the mid '90s, I wanted to sell a Tommy Gun at the big Houston gunshow. Saturday, I walked around with it slung on my shoulder for two hours waiting for someone to ask about it. The only ones who asked were dealers who were just curious. The next day, I came back with a sign on a dowel down the barrel. I wasn't there 10 minutes before someone stopped me to ask about it. I then had two guys bidding on it and ended up getting more than my asking price. Took the money and bought my first AR - post-ban 21" Colt.

Oh well, a mute point as I can't make it this weekend, damn.
