How's the Tanner show?

[FARM]

So any good deals at the Tanner show??

[spqrzilla]

No really great deals. Better selection of ammo and components than I expected, since I'd been hearing rumors of primer and powder demand going up again.

Attendance seemed a bit lighter this afternoon than the past couple of shows.

Shitty, as always. So great to see people paying $8 to get in to pay $8 more than the box of ammo cost at Walmart the previous day.

The honest sellers had primers and powder for their usual cost. I picked up my shit and bailed as fast as I could push through the crowd.

Any idea on primer prices?

$30 a box roughly, some a little more, some a little less.

I'll be there today, tables are close to where Al is.

not that many people witch is a refreshing change form the huge mobs the past few shows . there are plenty of deals to be had but if your trying to offset you entry fee with a 20 dollar purchase then go to sportsmans . if your trying to look and monkey with a whole bunch of cool stuff. then pay the 8 bucks and have a good time with the toys
hope to see you there

remember a deal is what you make it . make a fair offer and most guys will take it

The guy in the back corner has Wins for $125 per 5k, as he has always asked. The guy who had Tulas in January for $16 per thousand is now asking $25. Everyone else wants around $30 per k.

Well done Alxone! Many people to a gun show and expect tremendous bargains. Many are hoping to find that "steal" from someone that does not know the actual value of what they have. Most of the "dealers" set up tables to make money and not to lose money. The tables are not free for the asking and they may not make enough money to pay the table cost. Some people ask too much and some have bargains. Some tables have trinkets products unrelated to the firearm industry but those table help make the show profitable for the operater of the show.

The $8 admission is a pretty small price to pay to be surrounded by guns, ammo, and unique collectables.

Guns shows are not for everyone and some people should save their gas money and $8 admission fee for things that are more important to them.

Going this morning, just for S&G'S. Well, for that and a breakfast burrito.

Light crowd yesterday at 9:30ish. Was refreshing to not fight through herds. Ran in and picked up my purchases, which saved me the $7 entry fee in shipping costs.

500 Cast Bullets .45 cal 230 gr are a little expensive to ship, even locally. So I saved the entry fee there most likely.

One vendor there has a pretty good deal on once fired brass, $3.00 pound and that is cheaper than ordering from other places typically.

Picked up some plastic ammo boxes way cheaper than at sportsmans.

So I can usually get my $7 fee back in savings. Most of the time I don't worry about it and consider it entertainment of browsing all the stuff.
