Anyone going to th gun show oct 9-10? I am going to set up as my safe is overflowing. Stop by and see me. I would like to meet other members, not trying to sell you anything, just networking. If you get down there call me and I'll let you know where I am set up Wiley Burt 601-668-7406 As my friend Russell pointed out gun show is 9-10 not 19-20 . Thanks I would be a few day short and a few (hopefully) a few dollors short

We had a pretty decent day. Sold about 8-10 guns plus some other items. Hoping for another good day tomorrow.
I saw you at your table, but yall were busy so i didnt stop. May go back tomorrow. How much is scrap gold worth? Ive got a ring i got for graduation years ago that i cant wear.
Pure 24kt gold is worth $1347 an ounce. It is all done by the weight (purity also being a factor), the heavier the better. Bring it by tomorrow and we'll weigh it up for you and make you an offer. Maybe you can find something nice on one of our tables to put it towards, but if not we'll gladly give you cash for it to spend elsewhere.
This was the slowest day I've ever had at a gun show. Sold a grand total of two guns and one of those belonged to a friend. I met a couple of MSGO members. I hope to meet some more of you tomorrow. I'm a little over half way down the first aisle and against the wall. I'll have my name tag on.

It was a pretty weak show, I made it through in about an hour and half, usually spend 3 - 4 hours. Course I barely looked at the guns, already bought a rifle this week so budget pretty limited. Did buy some powder and primers at a fair price, 100 rds. of M1 Carbine ammo, and a SAW can to carry it home in. An okay time, but not really worth $8 this time around.
When I go to a gun show, I'm looking for a deal. Most vendors are charging list plus for their merchandise.
Why should I pay $350 for a used Remington 700 at the show when I could get a new 700 at Academy for the same or lower? With the internet, I have too many options on where to spend my hard earned dollars, and get the most bang for my buck. And I have a lot of friends and co-workers that think the same.

360glitch, do you work for big daddy's pawn?

This is disappointing. I was hoping this would be a big one. What time does it open today?

Hey Wiley,

I'm wondering how well it will go, considering that is the first weekend of the fair.
I was afraid the show would do poorly. I had the grandkids yesterday, putting a water pump on today. I'm supposed to come down and help Bayou Blades break down. Hope to get back up and running and make it before closing time. I'll be wearing an MSGO tshirt and head tats, and sporting a new kick ass, armadillo scaled, knife from Big D :wave:

Today was slower than yesterday but we still sold a fair amount of guns. I think we are the only vendor there that had something good to say about all of it. It was only our second show and we learned a lot that we can put towards the next one. We have reserved a six table endcap section at the Trademart show in December and we already have some ideas of how to improve our offerings.
