He Pickenup... if you make it by there on Sat, you wanna report back to us? The last time I went to one of the Boulder shows it SUCKED. Granted, its been a while, but with gas and admission, Id just assume learn from your error if I was given the choice.

Sure, I'll give a report. If it is as I expect, it won't be a good one.

They have at least one (if not more) rifle(s) that they are going to auction Saturday, that I am interested in. Since I will be going for that anyway, and because there are some misc. items that I am looking for, I'll show up a bit early and take a walk through the show. Who knows, I might get to spend some money somewhere besides the Mountain Man candy table. (hope he shows)

The auction was pretty much a bust.

Guys were biddign up prices to about 20% )OVER retail on a lot of the stuff.

It was kind of funny to watch .

OK, here is my report. I should have stayed home.

I could leave it at that, but.....

As for the gun show, there were LESS than 30 vendors. (about 4 rows of tables at a Tanner show, 2 rows at Crossroads)

As usual now days, a portion of those didn't even sell guns. There were knives, and other stuff.

The best table IMHO was bluker1's table. But that comes as no surprise.

As for the auction, Hasher explained it pretty well. There were some "deals" and maybe even a steal or two, but my time would have been better spent watch paint dry.

Mountain Man candy wasn't even there. [Mad][Mad]

Agreed, bluker1's table was the highlight of the show. He had some very cool toys.

I went on Saturday to view the auction and wasted my 6 dollars to get in there. They had maybe 15 vendors and 30 or so table. The biggest was Dad's Wholesale which I purchase from at the Tanner. Most of the vendors (in Longmont) can also be found down there. Nothing new forsure, It hasn't improved but I believe this is the first Pacific has put on there. maybe it will get better.
