    Default Loveland Outlets Show

    Well, there is a gun show at The Outlets in Loveland this weekend. I know, I know, its just a little show but, its the first one of the year and I have $2 off coupons so it will be cheap entertainment for a couple of hours. There is usually something interesting to see and with Valentines Day coming up, vendors may be willing to deal a little on some items. Little shows can sometimes present a deal on a unique firearm or accessory, you just never know what can be found.

    I usually go to the outlet show even though people are bat shit crazy on their pricing. The AR guy in the back corner is probably the best there. He has some decent stuff at very fair prices.

    I love walking by Ammokan looking at the guys just standing there with no customers. They rank right up there with CTD to me. If I can get my chores done this morning, I'll probably go wander it just for fun. Like you said, I may find something there I can use that I don't have to give my left nut for. Ya just never know...

    I went there and looked in once. Almost no vendors and even fewer customers. AND, if you miss this one, there is another almost every week for the rest of the year.

    It was pretty busy today, lots to see and some new vendors. Two guys in the back room selling ammo at absolutely outrageous prices; people walking by and seeing what they were offering and actually laughing out loud and walking away. One new vendor had a great collection of older rifles, shotguns and pistols (maybe 75 pieces) and not a single one of them with a price posted. Most vendors had pretty high prices but I will say this, most were asking for offers and totally willing to deal with you. Some were telling people right up front that they were willing to make a deal and "please feel free to handle anything on the table". Vendors were very aggressive if you showed any interest. There was a NIB Marlin M39 priced at $550 and the old gentleman offered it to me for $100 off and I wanted it sooo bad but I am not rich enough for that right now. It was painful to walk away from that, especially since I had a empty MasterCard in my wallet. I did buy some BBQ sauce from the guy in the corner and a really nice necklace from the jewelry lady for my wife, even she made me a deal that was pretty good.

    Overall a good small show and I guess next weekend is the Tanner show at The Ranch. Maybe I can pick up a proper bayonet for my 03A3.

    I went. I laughed. I left. Dude at the door honored a $2 off coupon that I pointed at sitting on the table. I've got a lot going on next weekend, but I'mma try to hit the Tanner show. It's usually good for an hour of entertainment.
