There were several attendees who really should've taken a shower before they went. Whew!
No blowout deals that I saw. Accessories seem to be down in price a little bit.

Agreed!!! Half the time I was walking I was holding my breath. And one guy almost spit tobacco on my Khaki pants (indoors).
Why do folks keep going if the prices are ordinary, the entry fee is high, the placed is overcrowded, one can't get to the tables to fondle the goodies, and the customers stink?
I am looking for a lever action rifle, and I suspect there would be a few at the 1500, but why would I drive two hours from the Fort to attend the 1500 based on the evaluations posted here?
I have been there twice and decided not to go again for the same reasons as others are posting here. Seems to me if it is as bad as stated, folks would quit going and declining attendance would cause the sponsors to upgrade their product. But the crowds seem to be as big as ever, and the complaints still flow.
Can someone "splain" this to me?
Because its simply not true. There are deals to be had at most gun shows for the educated buyer. Granted your not going to find a Glock 19 for much less than the local competitive store has them marked down to 489.00.
Case in point, silver bear ak ammo is 200.00 out the door at the show. In Indy the closest place is bradis and I believe that they are 240.00 or higher then you have tax on it.
Some of the best deals walk through the front door. After the dealers offer them half of retail you can pick up used glocks in Like new condition for 375.00.
People stink, but so does my brother if you get close enough to him. Its just a fact of life that some people have better hygiene than others.
The simple fact that just about everything in the gun world that you would want to see is under that roof makes it worth the 10.00 entry fee.

I go for the surplus, hard to find classics, and parts...My purchses this time included a black fleece for $15(steal), some beef jerkey, and Girl Scout Thin Mints.
