Gun shows are mostly overpriced junk now

[Foster]

I used to find decent deals years ago and now it's beef jerky, trump flags and overpriced ARs. Maybe I'm going to the wrong shows? Are gun shows still worth going to or are they done?

Some shows have decent deals, others...nah

I reload and was hoping to pick up primers and powder. Gun Show vendor prices were ridiculous. I explained that I’m prepared to pay a premium, but his pricing were “gouging”. He told me, “Someone will buy it”. Maybe they did… not me.

I still find a few deals at the Asheville gun show but you have to look for them,but as stated before lots of overpriced items at all gun shows now.

I think the Myrtle Beach Show is the best show in SC with the fairgrounds show in Columbia second. Greenville is normally good too but too far for me. I think the Ladson show has really fallen off in the last few years.

If I get up and go to a show,I feel like I gotta buy something.At myrtle beach picked up a M41 with both 5 and 7 barrels.I refused to pay up for the revolvers,but they were nice.Gotta love a free state,mind your voting!

Gun shows are bleh these days. The last deals disappeared when obama got elected. Most gun show vendors are trying to recoup the high prices they paid during covid. Once in a while a deal can be had, but not often. The shows at the Ladson fairgrounds are terrible. The plus side is the contact high you can get from the gang bangers
