[madgenius85]

Hey guys im going to my firat gunshow tomorrow. Im just wondering what to expect. Will prices be good or bad or somewhere in ibetwee? Im going there to look for powder,bullets,primers,and cases.

Which show? It all depends as far as price and variety. It's like going to a bunch of garage sales. Everyone is different as far as pricing and what they have to sell. Even if you don't buy anything, it's always fun to just look.

Its terre haute. Its sponsored by central indiana gunshows.

Generally you can expect to pay more for an item at a gun show than you will at your LGS,I have only found a handful of decent deals at shows in the past 5 years.

And a lot more than you would pay online. Know the prices before you go.

Like most of them I would expect a few people who forgot to shower, high prices, low selection, and maybe some crappy food if your lucky.

Darral is correct. Lots of smelly people seemingly with IBS and lots of dangerous "knowledge" about firearms. Go have a look, can't hurt, just don't get your hopes up. Most shows have overpriced stuff on the tables. Better deals online or at your LGS.

You can find some stuff the same price as LGS but most are a little higher. If looking for pistols or rifles, keep an eye out on the smelly people walking around ,you can find some decent deals watch for signs taped to barrels or on peoples backs.

This, I have bought more in the parking lot than inside the shows.

As the others have stated. On rare occasions you will find a great deal, but usually not. Know what you want and how much you will pay. Don't be afraid to haggle on price either.

So i bought a 250 count box of berrys 9mm 124 grain plated bullets for 26. So i saved a few dollar off the berrys price plus no shipping either so im taking that as a win. I also got cases for 5 dollars for 100 count. all the pistol powder was for magnum rounds.

Usually there is a guy walking through the isles swinging incense.
