I wound up going to the show this morning and man was it packed. My friend and I got there at about 20 past 9 and there was still a line out in the freezing cold. I don't know how you got in BJ but if I knew it was gonna be that cold standing in line I'd have paid you the cash to get us in quicker.
After I thawed out I made my way around the tables and started checking out stuff. Not many great deals but than again I didn't check everything. Mainly because I knew if I saw something great I wouldn't have the cash for it. Low budget show this time around for me. Lots of nice AK47s there but they were out of my wallet range this time around.
One of the good things about Marlboro is ammo inside the show. Even though there were no great deals to be found its nice to be able to shop around for competitive prices. Best deal I got was 2 boxes of Wolf Gold 303 for $20 which is a little better than average price. I got a freebie shirt from Zero Hour, I also picked up an SKS sling for my Albanian, some targets from the target selling folks renewed my GOAL membership, plus my friend and I picked up NES AR stickers. We didn't see any NES AK stickers. ::cough:: Derek?
Saw and talked to a bunch of NESrs and met a few that I hadn't met before which is always cool.
Having the German rucksack from SG came in very handy and I plan on bringing one to every show now. Beats the hell outa carrying plastic bags.
I'll be going back tomorrow morning with my Father because he couldn't go today, plus I'll be selling a rifle to another NESr. Sunday is usually a good day for deals when people are worried they won't be able to get rid of something.
