Went to my first gun show in a couple of years today. Looks like ammo supplies are coming back, but at gun show prices. I guess I don't remember or it's a relatively new phenomenon, but I would guess the number of knife sellers were at least equal to the number of gun sellers. Not much non gun junk and what was there was relegated to the back in it's own section.
One other weird thing that I did not remember from prior shows, there were several tables that had guns out with descriptions but no prices. I can't buy if I don't know how much they are, and I was thinking maybe they are of the opinion "if you have to ask, you can't afford it", so I never asked.
Was not looking for AR, AK, 1911 or plastic guns, so that knocked out better than 3/4 of the show. Did see some average deals on Smith revolvers, passed up a current 4" 610 with lock for $698. I want one but am hoping to find an older pre-lock gun.
On a related note I met M.Sage, who was working in a rotary (dremel type) accessory area. I hope he got to check out the tables early for having to work the show, hell maybe he bought my prelock 610
