Awesome Trading/Buying Event

[Mr Boomer]

I think it would be awesome to have an Central INGO trade event. We all meet up and bring what we are willing to trade. Maybe even have a BBQ. If anything it would be fun to look. Sort of like a private party flea market. Just a thought.

Pocket traders is something like that.. Not exclusive to INGO but there is free biscuits and gravy as long as it lasts.. Check it out.

Pocket traders...is that here on INGO?

 

[indynotch50]

I like this idea. What type of location would be best though? Personal residence? I don't think you could just set up in any random park and pull out an arsenal.

The INGO 1500!

I like it!

 

[Mr Boomer]

I don't know if you are "allowed" to do it at the 1500. I guess Pocket Traders in Martinsville does it. I would something in Indy to go to. I live on south east side. Maybe someone with a barn or big detached garage...

 

[ryanbr]

Sounds like it could be a fun time!

Profie has an informal event a couple of times a year in their parking lot.

I'd say a big barn in a slightly more rural area,(Shelby, Johnson,Hancock county) less flack and crap. I'd like it.

Pocket Traders is exactly what you're describing. Informal get together where we buy, sell, trade, shoot the bull, and generally avoid working on a Saturday morning....

It's also where NHT3 (above) twists my arm and gets me hooked on Rock Island 22 TCM's...

Worth the trip.

I would be on it like a fly on a fresh turd.

Martensville is just to far a drive since I have the KIDS every SAT.

 

[downlinx]

Hmm, I am I martinsville quite a bit, anyone mind pm'ing me more info on this pocket trader.

 

[223 Gunner]

I've never been to pocket traders, I'll have to go to the next one.

 

[Spike_351]

hmmmm.....interesting....i may have to check this out. I work in Columbus so Martinsville wouldn't be to far off I guess

 

[Mr Boomer]

Prolly an 45 min drive for me. Not to bad I guess

 

[mrortega]

Ought to be a lot of felons showing up to try to buy. Good luck with that.

All it takes are some motivated INGOers to plan, host, organize and run such an event. Find the right folks and make it happen!

The next pocket traders is this Saturday morning(July 13) at the Martinsville National Guard Armory. It's a pretty good little gathering. I have gotten a few good items there, but it seems like every time I take things to trade they usually come back home with me. I have one friend that sets up there and can usually do some trading with him. You never now what you might find there so it's worth the money and Trader Dan's folks are good people.

profire does have a swap meet twice a year. this april it was in his parking lot. the one in september will more than likely be held at my place again, like it was last spring. we have places to test fire before buying. grilled bacon, burgers,etc. and had a blast. started about 8 am and the last few finally left about 2 am. all firearms were long put up by then tho.

you could probably do a search on the swap meet from last spring,was lots of pics put on and a short video.
