sorry, walmart does it cheaper, either do what they do or do something different. I am tired of seeing tulammo .223 for 7.99 a box when walmart does it for 5.15
I saw exactly what you saw at the show. The one guy had Cci standards for $60/brick and a guy on the other side actually had an old sleeve of mini mags for $20 (for 100!). I like capitalism and all but oof, that was pretty crazy. Luckily I don't need anything right now and was just supporting the local show.
What amazed me even more was the enormous line outside for that new comic book store. That was amazing.
Agree, esp with the highlighted point. Wouldn't buy ammo from just anybody with a table...

I went to the BelAir show just to support a local show and check out some guns and maybe bump into a few MDS members. Ended up seeing my FFL guy. Anyway, the prices on everything are so high, that I'm not sure if these guys actually sell anything. Ammo prices are not good. I mean 7.62x39 Tula for 7 and 11 dollars on one table, not sure why it was different for same ammo, but either way, Walmart has for 5.17.
Prices on the AR's was crazy as well, Windham Weaponry for $1,000. I see these go for much lower everywhere else. So I just think its odd, to lug all your guns there and to have them marked up so much. At least be in market range so people will just be like, well, its here right in front of me to take home, so what if I can get it for $50 cheaper.
Some of the handgun prices were pretty good however, I saw a XDS 9mm, for $550 which I thought was a good price for that.
For gun shows to be successful for everyone, the prices need to be more competitive as the marketplace is/has significantly changed. When now-a-days, a person can just pick up a phone or open a webpage, find the right gun, and price and pick it up from their FFL in a few days. And in Maryland, since we know we have to wait anyway, its even less of a big deal to order online, as your not taking it home today anyway.

This is true with a few exceptions. You have to get the firearm at a price that makes it cheaper than buying from a LGS INCLUDING shipping and transfer fee's. If everyone does as you suggest the LGS will just up the transfer fee's to make up for the lost income of the sale on the firearm. There are a few out there that have already done just that.
