Show started out like the last several we've worked. Like a Zoo. Line was really long an hour before opening the doors. Huge crowd all day. Gun sales were good, but people were a little more selective than shows in the past. No panic buying like previous shows. Plenty of ammo when we got there and plenty of ammo when we left today. Ammo sales are definitely down from previous shows. Prices on 9mm and 223/556 are coming down a little. Some dealers were still asking outrageous prices but we sold $10 cheaper per box than the MYB show a few weeks ago. .380 and .38 Special seem to still be the most scarce ammo that a lot of people were asking about along with 300 Blackout at a price buyers were willing to pay. I think most dealers had plenty of sales on new guns, but there was a noticeable absence of collectable guns, both long and handguns. Lots of reloading components such as brass and bullets but hardly any powder and the primer prices were so steep I don't think very many were sold. One dealer was asking $400 per k for Small Pistol primers. Most were asking in the $200 range. We sold some rifle primers for $150 per k. We didn't have any handgun primers large or small. French Fries were outstanding and better than the Myrtle Beach Show along with some really good BBQ sandwiches. Back at it around 10 in the morning and hopefully another big day.
