They CAN be found for $280 brand new. It just takes time. Average at shows I've found is ~$300 with $330 being the high-end of the spectrum.

Why bother
Seriously - why bother. On a popular item at a gun show, you're going to get hosed.

Call around the local gunshops and see what they would charge you. I like Wanamaker Guns, but they've got odd hours for the next week or so. Also they'd likely have to order it, but they can. Got my P345 from them. Got a pretty decent price on my 22/45 from a store that rhymes with Radis, but I wont' shop there anymore. Just see what you can get locally, if you find it better at the 1500 pick it up. Just make sure to get the "Out the door price" from the shops.
That is the best price I have ever seen on a LCP!
If you truly want to buy at the 1500 I would suggest heading for one of two tables for the LCP. Plainfield Shooting Supplies or Midwest Gun Exchange as they have historically had the best prices. Of the two I prefer PSS because of the service I have received and they are local but I have purchased from both. You "may" find a slightly better price looking around at the small vendors but I doubt it on this item. $280.00 is a pretty good price and I would not pay more than $300.00 just to buy it at the show. They can be found for less.
If I were you I'd start calling the gun shops. At the 1500 you are in the hole for $10 just to get in and park. If you are looking for something that is no longer in production the 1500 is good, but other wise support your local shops and save the 10 bucks.

Thanks for the good advice. I will call around. There are no gun stores in Richmond, though. I may have to drive to Connersville (Conner-Tucky).
Dont sleep on ZX guns out of Goshen thats where I got mine last 1500 for 315.00 out the door. I did see one for 275.00 before tax but it was gone before I made a lap around the show. ZX guns had the best prices I saw at the show on handguns though.
Here are the prices in Connersville:
Wulff's sells the LCP for $299.95 with half a box of ammo.
Abernathy's quoted me $290.
Away from Connersville:
Bradis in Camby was $299.95
Plainfield Shooting Supply was $289
Away from Connersville: What he said!!
One thought..try doing business with a local shop. I've been a gun junkie since I was a kid, worked in a local gun shop. I do attend gun shows and yes occasionally find a bargain or something I can' find somewhere else. But my observation is that most gun shows don't have the bargain prices, especially if you add in gate and parking fees $10 and $3 for the 1500. Not all shops are the same and this forum is a great resource to find feedback on them. Not saying don't buy at gun shows just don't forget your local shops, they'll be there if you have a problem and most stand behind thing ...within reason>
