[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 1708383, member: 106514"] Very few people showing up here in MS compared to times past, but also fewer vendors actually selling GUNS at some shows. Combine that with the steady increase in admission prices, and what JE Custom said, that there are no "deals" to be found, and you honestly have to ask the question, "Why would I go to a gun show?" You're going to pay a good amount to get in, food prices (if offered) are higher than at big-box sporting events, there are fewer dealers selling, and so less (or the same) stuff at exorbitant prices. Big pawn shops are the main dealers vending at gun shows here. They take the same stuff around to every venue, and how the heck they afford to buy gas to haul all that overpriced junk, let alone stay in business, is beyond me. They ask higher than new prices for old used stuff and mist never negotiate because they keep the same things. Maybe some have gone under since the numbers vending at gun Shows is trending down.
