Prices at the 1500! is it worth going?

[Signal23]

The only reason I like to go to the 1500 is the chance at a great deal or I am looking for something special. Do you think it is worth a 2hr drive to look at things that have tripled in price in the last month. I'm sure it will be a 2hr wait in line to get in. I love to go to the 1500, but I find myself not excited this time. What is the best day to go that the line wont be as long?

Friday early, most everyone else is still at work. I always go on Friday to beat the crouds

You will see everybody that bought a crappy lower now trying to sell it for top dollar. Remember the $79 lowers that nobody wanted? It is now $400+. It will be a sideshow and nobody buying. Ammo prices out the roof.

Hell I am just trying to find an upper for one of my DPMS lowers, but I don't think this is the time or place to be worrying about that right now. Guess I will wait until the situation changes.

I may just ride with a friend. It will be interesting to see the the crowds. Kinda like black friday, but with guns. Be on the look out for the most expensive ar/ak magazine and post it. That would be a fun game!

I've already got that, I am giong to "carry" my Colt Match, with a price tag of $4000.00 w/ one 20 rd mag. !!!!!

To be sure if I was going I would not shower for three days and forget about hygene. Maybe I could tolerate everyone else then. Really though...I have not been to a show in a few years...what will pmags be worth there? I need to dump about 20.

Well I will prolly head up there Friday. Thankfully I'm not looking for any AR/ AK stuff.....mainly some oddball stuff and to spend some time with my old man Oh and maybe a p938 if they're not priced through the danged roof.

If I go I think Im going to take an AK-74 on a sling and walk around with it just to see what kind of ridiculous offers I get.

I'll be shopping for an AK, I have everything else, but no 7.62 guns, but it's on my list.

 

[srandrews80]

Does anyone know if they have white hat or crossbreed holsters?

 

[MikeDVB]

I don't believe they make holsters at the show anymore...

That's depressing... That's the reason I was going to go for as well............ Are they local?

I'll save you the trouble and offer you 2 pmags for it now! Is that ridiculous enough?

 

[Indianavette]

I bought a great holster there last year, I'm sure they will be back

Flu epidemic, insane prices, all on panic, narrow isles. I'm going fishing after I stop by BGF.

Meaning you feel the prices in the INGO classfields leave a lot to be desired? Too high?
