Gunshow Columbia, SC .. terrible

select-fire

Shows just keep getting worse. Every fourth person thru the door had a gun to bring in. Just shows how bad a shape people are in. I did not see one table doing paperwork on a sale and was there 2.5 hours.

Yep, that's what I would expect for awhile. You know those gunshow vendors have to be hurtin. Higher fuel costs and expenses and fewer people wanting to buy.
I wonder how much buying they were doing? Even at October Wannamacher I didn't see much trading going on either way. They can only take in so much w/o moving some out.

I spoke to quite a few dealer. They are hurting, nothing moving. Have to hold on till hunting season. I didn't see any buying or selling the entire time. I bought some .38 and .44 mag ammo.

Exactly what alot of folks I talk to are doing. Holding steady on the guns and stocking up on ammo.

We lost money trying to sell at the last Greenville SC show.

That surprises me, most of my friends are stocking up on evil black rifles right now.

Last time in NC 1990 gun pices were way lower there than the west coast. Should really have done some buying.

In 1978 they were really lower.


But most were long guns and shotguns. Revolvers and Semi-autos were very close to the same price. That was what I wanted to find so did not buy.

Based on Auction traffic I'd say people are still buying maybe spending thier money more careful
