I quit going to gun shows many years ago for most of the same reasons he cites. I decided I’d hit the local show a couple of months ago in search of 6.5 PRC brass, armed with a couple of bricks of primers I was into at a “normal” price and needed much less than the brass. Out of the entire show I found only one table with three boxes of match ammo I’d last seen at $55, for which he wanted to gouge me $75 each. But I had *primers* so I counter-gouged and swapped my two for his three. Ended up costing me a third of what he wanted but the real pleasure was having had the upper hand for a change.
Thanks for reading my assault on the Queens English! I am glad to see that somebody got a good deal at a Show. Grumpy
