    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.

    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?
