Indy 1500 - Jan 18-20, 2013

[Que]

Well, many thought the last 1500 was going to be crowded, but it turned out to be pretty light. With the election results not going the way of most Indiana voters and the belief that the federal government is going to tax and ban certain guns, magazines, etc., most are believing the January show will be pretty busy.

I'm guessing the show will experience a large crowd, but I'm wondering if the prices will be jacked up. The tables are already paid for, so it's not like the show will cost the vendors any more money. I guess some can say their distributors charged them more, but what do you think? Will the prices go up significantly?

 

[Stainer]

Once again, I will not be going. If I need anything, I will get it from the LGS or the Web. It's fun seeing the INGOers, but I don't want to deal with the ones that are going full retard like what happened 4 years ago. I'll pass.

This sums up how I would feel towards all the price gouging vendors( I obviously understand it's not all vendors)

 

[coltaceguy]

Yes prices will be jacked up.

No I won't be going as I don't support price gougers.

 

[TopDog]

The only reason I would go... Would be to laugh at the ridiculous prices. Then cry because enough people running scared without cause will be supporting the price gougers, thus making the inflated prices, standard.
Then I would come home and cry some more.

I don't need that kind of emotional roller coaster. The death of the republic has been enough emotional devastation for years to come.

i think alot of dealers will raise the prices due to the price it will cost them to replace the item, and the wait to get a replacement.

my prices will be exactly the same as they always are if anyone is curious

I will not be going to a show that gouges for ticket prices. Sticks it to you for parking and provides no security for same. Can find all I need else where

Really? I could never get it to work. Every time I click on it, I get redirected to GlockTalk.

Man, you must have pissed off Spasmo then.

 

[g+16]

I'll be on a cruise with the girl i've been with for 35 yrs, and no I more than likely would not be going anyway. So everyone have fun

 

[spainy79]

As much as I would like to go to the Jan. show I am going to pass. The crowd is going to be the main reason. I also believe there will be significant increases on the price tags.

 

[dbrier]

You couldn't pay me to go to the Jan show. It will be a crazy madhouse of paranoid buyers.

 

[super duty1]

I quit going do to the large crowds. They should move to the convention center or another large venue. It is worse than going to the mall for a Christmas sale.

 

[Colt556]

The only reason I went to the last show was to help a friend run his tables while his father was away. Dad is back so I won't be needed so I doubt if I attend the show.

 

[coltaceguy]

Yea it would be fun to razz some dealers about their BS pricing.

Heck, its hard not to do that in the FOR SALE section on here with the $900 AKs and $20-25 30rd mags, give me a break...

We are our own worst enemy.

No kidding, knuckle heads running out and buying every bit of ammo they could get their hands on in 2008 basically double ammo prices. Wanna bet the same knuckle heads are out doing the same exact thing now?

I'll take your bet....I'm outta ammo....I need ammo for calibers that I don't even own....I have to max out my credit card for the stuff.

I will bet that I won't be there, it's normally over priced anyway, I don't even want to think about the gouging that'll be going on....I'll read about all the deals people got here on the interwebs.

It has already started. Saw a floor wh*re today with a Romy AK parts gun for $600 and read on another thread about a dealer selling Wolf 7.62 x 39 for $400 per 1000 round case. Maybe they can find a job at Don's Guns.
