Default RE: Are You Personally Satisfied With Gun Show Prices?

If anyone gets screwed at a gun show then it's their own fault. You're buying from a bunch of used car salesmen and it's you job, not theirs, to know what a product is worth. There's a lot of overpriced junk at gun shows, much more than there are good deals. Good deals only happen once in a while and you need to know what's worth what before you get involved. I'm a dealer and I know what the price is on most of the new stuff when I walk through a gunshow. 99% of it is overpriced. However, a few weeks ago I bought a M70 classic stainless short action .243 in mint condition for $350. Another guy two aisles away had the same exact rifle except in not as good condition for sale asking $550. If you don't know what a gun is worth then you have no business trading at a gun show, a lot of folks get taken at them.
