There are plenty of people who come to these shows but only a small percentage of them buy anything, and it doesn't seem to matter what price something is, either. I see vendors with a few decent deals, untouched, and plenty of other vendors with brutally overpriced stuff, also untouched. I think generically it's not a matter of pricing but less people are impulse buying anything these days. There is also an extraordinary amount of tire kickers these days. Lots of people walking around but more of them want to just pet the guns (like it's a petting zoo or something) and then on top of this, carry on a 20 minute conversation with you, then you give them the farm (a big discount) and then they still "have to think about it" which basically is code for "I'm not interested, and never really was ever interested, but I'm too embarrassed at my behavior to freely admit that I just completely wasted your time. "

Wasn't that Pete's?
It was definitely worth price of admission and was much more enjoyable for me than this past Marlborough show. Perfect attendance numbers to mosey around, get a good look at every table, and not feel rushed to any degree.
Are you sure you don't mean on the right? There were two dealers side-by-side up against the retracted bleachers:I'm wondering if you guys can help me, when you walked in, on the left, there was a vendor with a long row of table side to side lined with rifles, AK's AR's an SVT, lots of Century C39's with blonde furniture etc. Does anyone know the dealers name?
Thanks in advance.
