    Ok, I see reference to a INGO Table. Where in the heck is it? It was so crowded there today it was hard to find a water fountain.

    I'm going again tomorrow, so tell me.....WHERE IS OUR TABLE!!!?

    There was no INGO table at this show due to circumstances beyond our control.

    I bought nothing, because I didn't go.

    I didn't even want to fight with the crowds.

    Maybe tomorrow if I feel the need.

    I don't expect the crowd to be any thinner but I have been wrong before.
    When I got there about 2pm today it was insane I had never seen a line go around the corner that late in the day.

    And one prototype Khaki hat. It is the most valuable INGO hat in the world.

    There are also no hats to be sold (unless you find someone willing to part with one of the Limited Edition First Run Navy Blue INGO Hats that Fenway sold last summer! There are only 75 in existence In The WORLD!

    I must have it!:D I talked with one of my buddies today and told him about the pandemonium that was taking place and he agreed that it was probably a good thing we skipped this one. I really wanted to go but no funds. The next one is in March right?

    Got a fair price probably. Wouldn't call it a bargain. Most everything I looked at was way over priced.

    Only things I saw that interested me was this ruger, a Tac Sol upper for my MarkII, and wool mitten liners. Didn't walk back through the cattle yard to buy the rest so all I spent any money on was the Ruger.

    Not sure about that. I have a couple of the original blue 1st editions. Been thinking about "polishing them up" and offering in the classifieds. Wonder what they'd bring? 50, maybe 75 bucks?

    went friday

    Rolled up to the fair grounds around 2:30. Parking wasn't too bad, 4-5 minute walk to the door. Another 4-5 minute walk to the end of the line. Line was insanely long, but only took 25 mins. Crowd inside was insane. Prices? Another poster said it best: made gunbroker.com look cheap!

    So I started on one end, making my way up and down the aisles, took about 5 seconds to get tired of being bumped into. Reminded myself it's the nature of the beast, took a deep breath and continued. I won't beat a dead horse and go on about prices. There were some decent prices to be found, IF you could make it to the table. From what I saw, most prices were not so decent. Saw many AR's, prices surpisingly not too bad. Saw a handful of AK's, prices outrageous.

    Finally, i'm going up the last aisle, thinking "ok, another hundred feet, and I've covered all the tables, time to get the heck out of here". As I was about to the end, I found a table full of Saigas. iz132, $353 :rockwoot: out the door. Made the crowd and heat worth the trip, IMO.

    Now, when's the Saiga conversion party? :D

    Went early Saturday morning, no lines to speak of at that time crowds started picking up while we were there. This was my first Indy 1500, after looking at the prices, it will probably be my last.

    I at least got some info for a bed-liner.
    A friend that came along got a decent deal on a Simmons Scope.

    I wasn't expecting things to be bargain basement cheap or free (that would have been nice). Just a little disappointed that's all.

    Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the 1500 this time,
    I had military duty. Sounds like it was quite buys with everyone scared by the new president elect. :rolleyes:

    Thanks for the update on pricing and chaos! haha Hope everyone found the deal they were looking for!

    C-ya at the next one possibly.
