IF anyone goes report back on stock, prices and crowd. I might try and go later to see if I can find a couple G19 mags.
I drove by just checking out how many were there - the parking was a zoo - there was a very long line waiting to get in about 10am. I was thinking do to the projected snow it would be a light turnout - boy was I wrong.
I took the wife this morning, we arrived after 9am and there were 60+ in line, place was completely packed. We left around 10:30 and still had a line getting in. I have never seen that place that packed, even.
I had an old A2 upper to sale, Compass Lake free floated highpower upper with BCG. I was asking 500 (fair to high I thought) and it sold in 15 minutes or less.
Lots of people. I saw a lot of black rifles for sale, but the prices are still pretty steep. Lots of PMAgs for sale too. The cheapest I saw (Gen 2, black, non-windowed) were $20/ea, limit of ten. Fair amount of ammo & reloading supplies, but there were long lines at the two vendors (one ammo & one reloading supplies) who had it for sale.

Super crowded, but lots of toys to look at !!
Winchester 9mm 100rd bulk pack $75
Federal .22lr 550rd bulk pack $90
Remington .22lr bulk pack (500rd ??) $100
Most of the boxed/factory 5.56 ammo I saw was around $1/rd.
So can I just walk around the parking lot with a dozen mags and a sign, or is that verboten?

I'm a vendor there selling Decals. was told about some high priced ammo and uppers and lowers. Never got around to seeing thins myself.

I should have checked this thread yesterday or earlier today. I helped a friend at the show today, won't be going back tomorrow. Sketchy drive down, treacherous drive home up 83.
Lots of tire kickers at the Sertoma show. Friend said this one was the busiest he's ever seen there. Seemed lots of 30 round mag sales going down there. Those $20 pmags must have gone quick, he sold a ton of GI mags at $20/per or 6 for $100. He sold two of the three pmags I put out Friday during setup before I got there this morning for $75 for the pair. [Coffee]I sold one rifle to a GI, felt generous and dropped my pants on it. Very nice full PSA build with a DD pencil barrel. One I was sad to see go. The prices there were high, but there were lots of over priced $2400 black rifles still on the tables when it closed up today.
I found a set of mounted Troy flip up HK style sights for $150, and after loaning the buddy some cash to buy something he wanted, I'm taking one of his ACOG TA31F on trade. [Flower] So much for making a few bucks at the show.
Lots of FUDDs[fudd]finger banging the rifles. Lots of insulting offers.
I'll be going to Tanner with them next weekend. If I think about it, I will hang a little COAR15 sign on the rig. Stop and say hi.

I'm surprised I didn't sell the Seekins lower. I was priced well below anything else there that was equivalent.

Brutal - where you going to be set up at the Tanner?

Not sure yet, tagging along with a couple buddies.
Will be helping R&S out. In same area as Alex, Ammo-Kan & Michael Kole holsters. Ammo-Kan will be say to spot due to the long-ass line.
Don't have table numbers, but we'll be North wall, center section near the dealer entrance. Three tables I think.
Look for a cheesy white PVC overhead with a rack of Brownell mags, half a dozen or so AR's and lots of surplus plate carriers, flak jackets, Kevlar vests. He has some pre-ban undated 30rd GI mags for $50 each (maybe more at Tanner?) and sometimes puts up pics of himself with some bad ass MG's - Naval M2, M240, etc.
If I have time, I'll find R&S and Alex and say howdy before 9.
I'll try and hang up a COAR15 sign too.
