last time I went it was a small but decent show I grabbed a 22 rifle with a cheap scope on it for $110 OTD

Just left.
$5 admission.
In a word. Lame. Not much there with prices very high on everything.

since some of the dealers that usually attend have gone out of business or passed away some collectors have moved in. For all of those that complain about things even for as small as this show as always been the numbers attending this show today was way off. If you want large selection and lower prices you have to support the local shows even the small ones. I know of a fair amount of folks on here that have gotten some real deals at this show.

And I myself would be one those people who got a good deal on one of my favorite 22's, a Marlin 39A at that same location a few years back. The show was always on my list. Sometimes just to pick up a few odds and ends, such as a used reloading manual, or some plastic storage boxes. But I expressed my opinion on THIS show, which for myself was a waste of time and the admission price. The show has not improved or even held onto its previous standard. I haven't seen any postings of others who thought they got a good deal. Perhaps they haven't posted yet for whatever reason. I posted my opinion on what used to be one of my favorite small shows, but if they want to draw people back they need to make some changes.
