By the time you put up with traffic, parking, admission, etc. you'd probably be better off buying from a local gun shop or online. Check this out:

There's been posts about a LGS selling Andersson lowers for $40. Once you park ($5), pay $12 entry, put up with the crowd, etc... It's not worth going to the 1500. You aren't going to find a lower for $23 there ($23 + $5 parking + $12 entry = $40). Last time I was there, I could find the VAST majority of things cheaper online.
The only reason I go to the 1500 is for fun. I can find better prices elsewhere.

Midwest gun exchange apparently had them listed at $39.99 on their facebook page. Seems like they're normally ~$60 or so.
Since you're going to be there anyway, just look around and see what you can find. Hope you stumble on a good deal.

Do you have a link for this? I can't seem to find a working Facebook page for them.
Nope. Just read it in a post. They're really far up North, and I'm really far down South, so I had no interest in pursuing it. You can always call them, though. I hear they're nice people. But for all I know, it was a 1 day only deal.
Regardless, I can buy lowers for $60 or less all day long on the interwebz, and my LGS does $15 transfers. So if I buy 2, that comes out to $67.50 each. That's a lot cheaper for a quality lower (not polymer or some kind of junk) than anything I've seen at the recent 1500's I've been to.

You can get a stripped lower for around $50 at Palmetto, but then you'll probably have another $30 give or take in a transfer. Best price on lowers I saw at the last 1500 was around $65 plus tax, which is pretty hard to beat for a non-polymer lower. If you're going to the 1500 anyway, you may as well see what is available. I assume that Midwest Gun Exchange will be at the show, so definitely check them out and see if they brought some down. I'd be surprised if they are still selling them for $40 though, I think the 'normal' price is more like $70, which I still think is reasonable. I bought one of their Anderson lowers for $40 during their sale, but I was looking for an excuse to kill an afternoon (about 3 hours each way from Indy) and checking out their shop (which is impressive). I also stopped at the Grissom air museum, which has some interesting aircraft on display.
How much is your wife selling them for? Without that info, I can't answer the question! But, since we don't know what the purchase price is from your wife, as others have stated, by the time you pay to park, pay admission, smell the people, and eat some jerky, your lower will be $500, look at a local gun shop, it's most likely cheaper!
