Lake Charles gun show

[RedOne451]

Holy cow! At least 100 people in line at 9:30

 

[Sugarbug]

You'd probably get better prices on gunbroker.

 

[RedOne451]

True dat! Just really curious to see the pandemonium up close. Glad I spent the last few years stocking up.

 

[RedOne451]

Saw a ticket someone was writing up.
5 pmags=$220.

The line is really short now.

 

[dustyk70]

I am going today. I'm gonna get ALL the best deals there... Then we are going to the casino to eat....

 

[hoghunter54]

Going Sunday.I want to see the craziness as well.Its just fun watching stupid people.I don't know why,but it just is.

 

[Danielcut]

Thought about going just to see the craziness. Still may or may not...

 

[dustyk70]

I'm bringing a couple of pmags. If anyone wants some my f/inlaw sells pottery there. I'll be there around 2:00 ish.

If you really want to see the crazies bring an unfired AR with you and a for sale sign

 

[dustyk70]

Hell, Bring .223 or 5.56. Price there was 1.00$ per round. And people wew buying it. AR's were priced anywhere from 2000$ to 4500$.... All I could do was shake my head and smile.

I imagine it was just like the one here in Alex last weekend. People were lined 1/2 to 3/4 the way to hwy 28 saturday and there were not many venders there. They were selling old military mags for $30. I haven't talked to my dad who was at the Lake Charles show.

 

[Isaac-1]

Sounds like almost enough to take the AR I bought a few weeks ago before Christmas and a case of 5.56 ammo and see what the market will bear. If it were an el-cheapo AR and not a model that was mail ordering for $1,200 before the craze I might be tempted to do that, but by the time you add in optics, and all the little accessories (4 PMAG's, BUIS, AFG, hard case ...) I probably have over $2,000 into it, plus another $350 I paid for a case of ammo as the craze started and I am not sure if it would reallyl be worth it.

Go to Darryls for lunch. Killer sandwhichs, plus football on tv

 

[dustyk70]

There were more people there than I have ever seen at a small show. Very crowded. Hours today are 9-4. I'm done. All I bought was a 1999 silver eagle coin(daughters birth year).

My two sons and I went yesterday around 2-ish and there was a line 50-75 deep out the door. It was packed and made browsing a chore at best. It was really more of a flea market than a gun show and the prices were beyond ridiculous: $20 for a 50 round box of 9mm 115gr FMJ WWB and AR's were all more than double normal retail prices. Handgun prices seemed to be about normal though. I walked out empty-handed.

I avoided the show for that reason. Figured it would be a pain just to see the tables.

+10 on Darrel's lol

 

[king4456]

did any pmags sell?

 

[dustyk70]

I had the only ones in the whole room.

 

[dustyk70]

Made me realize that I really didn't want to sell them.
