[QUOTE="kolob10, post: 1708215, member: 27227"] Gun shows still have some merit: -socializing. -handling newly introduced products -finding a good deal on the last day of the show (dealer didn't want to drag it home one more time). -avoiding the hazmat charges on powder or primers. -buying small parts without paying minimum postage on 50 cent part -seeing old shooting buddies you lost track of. The problem with pricing is most newbies in the sport do not yet have a handle on where to access wholesale pricing thus dealers sell many guns at retail. New or hard to find items are sold there as well by those who can not be patient for inventory to catch demand. That being said, I rarely go to shows anymore. Local gunshiops and online cruising fills my needs. [/QUOTE]
