I'll try to make it, but family dinner this weekend, and hunting. Plus my sister is in from Seattle. But I'll still try!!

Yeah it mostly is collectibles. But I have found some good deals in the past. I'm close enough its worth the drive for me if I've got the time.

I have gone to that show many times and left with a lot less money and many more toys. I have also gone there, and walked around several times and seen nothing that interested me.

You never know what you will find, so I will have to go again!

It costs a dollar a minute to walk through there.


/it's small, is what I'm saying here

You must walk faster than me.I can walk that gunshow in 10 minutes.

There use to be a second building out back as big as the front building. Did they stop using it?

I'll go it's one of those shows that If I can't find something to buy I can almost allways sell something.

Tipton's not too far for me and for five bucks on a Saturday afternoon, it's something to do.

There is an additional room in the main building now. They would probably only use the back building if an unusually large number of vendors signed up.

I have set up at that tipton show the past two. I can say that the back room was full of dealers also. I like newer stuff. Lots of new guns and old along with knives. Ill be there this week end assisting a ffl guy from frankton.See ya there !

 

[SnoopLoggyDog]

I really like the Tipton show. Always see stuff there that I don't see at the Indy 1500. Plan on being there early Saturday morning. It's a lot better than the Kokomo show.

 

[GlockMan]

Gill,
will you be there with Bill Lennon?

 

[nrar15]

I'm going taking two Savages 308 and 30-06 and maybe an IR laser or two and some Ithica parts would take more trading stuff but the truck is still in the shop. May be looking for an 45xd or what ever catches my eye. Good way to spend a day.

I just got back from this show and I thought it was decent. It had a good mix of militaria and modern guns. I thought that much of the items that I was interested in were fairly high. Ammo prices seemed better than usual. I think that many were professional reloads. Overall a good way to spend a saturday. Watch out for speed traps on US 31 north!

Were you at the same show I was? Seemed like most of the tables were selling nothing but knives. Prices were mostly decent on stuff, too high one others. For example, there was a Mosin being sold as an original sniper, but it was obviously a CAI cut-job with a knock-off scope and he wanted about $300 more than it was worth.

 

[wetidlerjr]

The show was moderately busy but all I bought were two Mini14 mags (NOS 40 rd. Precision Mag and a 30rd. Federal Ordnance) but I did sell my Marlin 17 HMR bolt gun in the first hour. Now, if I can sell my Savage Striker today, I will consider this show a success !
I will be there today selling Elwood Conservation Club memberships and drawing tickets.

I stopped by, but didn't buy anything other than a Diet Coke.

I usually opt for the biscuits-n-gravy with a few fried cackleberries!
