Technically not false advertising, even if 350 of them are folded in the corner of the building!500 tables, of which, maybe 150 will be used.
I predect vendors kids riding scooters and bikes in the venue with all the dead space. West Springfield was like that 10 yrs ago it was hysterical watching the kids play because there was only a handful of vendors
Awesome venue, used to go there for trade shows.Like the flyer saysView attachment 654164
Never, for a gun show.Is it too early to stop bathing ?

Anybody know if there will be the folks there doing the custom mold ear protection?
In MA the promoter sucked for the whining of rapey dealers who wanted aggressive pricing discounters etc. kicked out of the shows. But even before that the promoter also sucked for healeyban bs etc. The average gun show prices went from annoying to completely untenable. Then smaller non gun vendors selling cool shit started disappearing as wellUsed to love gun shows, would love to hear thoughts about why these have fallen on hard times…besides the inter-web.

I wonder how many tables there.I went to their site to see the additional discount…it’s $2 off admission . What a joke…the Mill is free admission and for the most part odor free…
A southern gun show..since moving to NC I have learned to stay away from them. Minus the occasional older holster.. there are more vendors then Massachusetts but same high prices. They will sell you a High Point 9 mm handgun for $250...
It doesn't really take rocket appliances to figure out what's not going on at these things especially when you have close friends that still actually go... to them it's like an act of masochism or boredom. Nobody ever says "it was jammed with people and every table was filled" etc. If you really want i will go and provide a long scathing post as to how it sucks. about the only cool things about these shows is that you might actually run into somebody you already know.Funny how the members who swear they haven't attended a MA gun show in 10+ years seem to know everything that's going on with Massachusetts gun shows.
They must hear it from their friends.
I haven’t been to a Northeast gun show since they kicked out Shooting Supply for having prices too low.Funny how the members who swear they haven't attended a MA gun show in 10+ years seem to know everything that's going on with Massachusetts gun shows.

Pretty close!I haven’t been to a Northeast gun show since they kicked out Shooting Supply for having prices too low.
But let me see if I can walk you through one now anyway:
- Homeless Jeff Spicoli watches while slow learners unload their carry guns.
- 500 tables advertised; 300 of them still folded in a corner.
- Ridiculously high admission
- Ridiculously high prices on firearms that can be found cheaper at LGSs
- Ridiculously high prices on ammo produced during the Clinton administration that can be found cheaper at LGSs
- “pre-ban” mag guy selling strangely perfect unused “pre-ban” mags
- COG
- random flea market tables selling random flea market stuff
All this will be followed the next day by reports here of the above, and at least one NES’er that will inevitably buy a Hi-Point for $50 over retail so they “(didn’t pay admission and leave empty handed)”
Sound about right?
