    That place east of Waco....
    I noticed that Waxahachie is having a gun show this weekend. Other than seeing firsthand how crazy the market has become, any other reasons to drive 90 minutes to attend?

    If you want to buy some overpriced ammo, I can make the hour drive down and meet you in the parking lot. Will save you an entry fee :)

    I wonder how much it costs to set up shop at one. I have so much miscellaneous stuff that is taking up space. I just need to move it out and not at neckbeard prices.

    Post a classified ad man lets see what you got

    This.

    I know its a lot of effort to take a pic and generate a description.
    But, how much effort does it take to load and move said stuff, display it for 2 days, load up what's left and bring it back home?

    The Waxahachie gun show was the last show I attended ... fall of 2019, IIRC. I was pleasantly surprised at the number of tables that actually had firearm and firearm related related gear displayed. I bought an Aero 308 lower there that day.

    When my brother went to the gun shows, he would find a spot outside the show. If someone started in with a firearm that interested him, he would ask if it was for sale. He got some great deals that way.

    To me the best deal he made was for a Ruger 10/22 with a mesquite thumb hole stock, bull barrel, and a scope for $100.

    Especially if you are realistic with your offers bc all the boomers inside behind the tables would rip off their own grandmother for some extra dollars

    It depends if you don’t mind paying these ridiculous prices now a days. If so it’s a waist of time in my opinion. I went to Dallas market hall gun show not to long ago and vendors seemed to be real proud of their inventory.

    I really wouldn't be going to buy anything. More to look at the train wreck and see if any extremist groups have started recruiting.....

    I haven't been there since this covid mess hit, but I've gotten some deals there before. I've walked around and found absolutely nothing of interest even more times.

    I'm not far from there. If I get bored, I might just stop by to see how ridiculous prices have gotten.

    I went to the Mesquite gunshow last month. Just looked around but was willing to buy if the price was right. The neighbor found some 350 Legend he was wanting at a decent price. I left with nothing. We hit a LGS on the way home & I picked up some 7.62x39 for cheaper than the gunshow.
