Prices at the 1500! is it worth going?

[toppgunnz]

I've heard from a pretty reliable source that guns will be better than cash. If you have anything that falls under the category of "semi", you'd be better trading than showing up with cash. If you have hi-cap mags you're willing to trade, they're up 300% in trade-in value.

I think its going to be so crowded they will be shutting off the entrance every so often to clear out people. think i would rather go to walmart thats how bad it is going to be and prices are jacked up i will wait 6 months and pick up some of the stuff being scooped up now for cheap

How much to get in and park?

Most of the time I go for the entertainment value, but this time I have some items I want to sale or trade.

 

[Psode27]

I've never been, I always hit the Fort Wayne show and more northern shows. I'll be going next week hopefully a couple of days. I get the quantity/demand thing, but I'd feel like a thief selling stuff at some of the prices I've seen. I'll be going for purely entertainment.

Nuts to butts baby!

 

[Bennettjh]

I'm waiting to hear what it's like Friday and Saturday before I make my mind up. Sunday would be my first available time anyways. Hopefully it's not the craziest place ever. Maybe the shows later on in the year will be more enjoyable/affordable, who knows. We'll find out soon enough though.

 

[Darral27]

I may check it out sometime during the day on Fri. I will be working in the area anyway. If it is too tough to get in the door I will just keep cruising. I have a feeling it is going to be too crazy to be worth it.

 

[Fawkes]

Given what has been reported about the shows this weekend you can expect a long line to get in and it seems there are other events at the fairgrounds that will put parking at a premium. I'm going but will be behind a table for the majority of the show. But, time might be running out on the ability to buy certain items so......

Idea
The FLU epidemic ...
How many lung diseases will INGO members bring home from the 1500 ? ...this will be a great thread for 2 weeks from now .

.After many years of planning my vacation days around the 1500 , I really hope I'll have to work...This kinda' crazy is just too much .

 

[jimd46902]

It's only an hour drive for me and I am trying to justify the crowd and prices to go and look.

 

[Pinchaser]

If you have something of quality to sell, this could be a great show for you. If not, there is truly no reason to go. Everything there will be hopelessly over-priced and nearly all of it will be junk. If you do go for the "entertainment", leave your money, credit/debit cards, etc., either at home or in your vehicle. Take just enough inside to get in the door.

I am going to pass this show up. I could use some gen2 or gen3 night vision and some more survival food and medical supplies, but not from this likely nightmare. Hopefully, the end of the world will not come until after the gun prices have gone back down to something reasonable.

 

[Hoosier Cowboy]

Flu epidemic and insane prices not to mention the "end of the world" crowds...I'll stay home

 

[Judson951]

I was going to drive up however I just know prices are going to be stupid.

Same here. This was going to be my first 1500, but the timing of this gun legislation proposal is going to prevent it. I live only 10-15 mins from the fairgrounds and will pass this time.

 

[firecadet613]

I thought of this being my 1st 1500, but like the others, with the flu going around and how crazy it is expected to be..I'll pass.

 

[Azbsn1]

Last time 3 months ago nobody cared to make a deal

 

[achilles]

I have been back and forth on whether I will go...the comment(s) about the flu just made it easy. I am staying home...no reason to wade into a sea of people with little to no chance of finding anything reasonably priced.

Oh yeah. Maybe I should bring some hand sanitizer.
