Best time to go...

[foszoe]

Always been there when the doors open on Sat AM. Is it better to go on Fri at 2 or does it matter?

 

[SSGSAD]

There will be a line on Fri., at 1 or 2..... I am going Sat., am around 10 am .....

If you're looking for deals I'd say it's better to go Sunday. Vendors are more willing to cut deals close to the end of the show to avoid packing it up, hauling it home and unloading.

Nobody is cutting deals Friday afternoon.

I'll be getting in line around 1:00 today. As MCgrease08 said, the vendors may be more likely to deal on Sunday, but I'm looking for reloading supplies and so there's a chance that the pickin's might be getting slim by Sunday. Just depends on what you're going for really.

It is not too bad on a Friday around 3. Usually the line is gone by then and if not it will not be as long as it was at 2.

I would say if you're looking for something special, Friday is the time to go, as it may be gone by Sunday.
If you're just looking for a deal, and you're not to particular as to what you buy, then Sunday may be the day to go.
I have always believed that if there is anything good to be had, it gets bought or sold on Friday.

I try to make a list, pre shop on line and local, then get there when the doors open on Sunday. Stop by the INGO booth and always buy some raffle tickets to the Marine Reserve. Maybe one of these days I will be one of the raffle winners!!

Is this worth the drive if you live in Fort Wayne?

 

[foszoe]

Not now. It's over.

Is this worth the drive if you live in Fort Wayne?

The next show is Oct. 23, 24, 25, 2016. I think this will be worth the drive because/if:
- because this is the bigger show with a larger selection
- if you have a list of items you are looking to buy
- if you need some particular items and message some INGO suppliers ahead of time for good deals
- if you just want to have some fun looking around
- especially if you bring a friend and enjoy the show together
- I personally enjoy spending a few minutes at the table just talking and putting faces with screen names.

See you in October.

I think you mean: next show is Oct. 23, 24, 25, 2015?
