how do You / we expect it to grow if we dont support it !
i was there and yes it was still little and the deals were there you just had to look deep for them !
2nd time for me at the coliseum. Definitely not impressed. My only interest there was an old Stevens 12 ga pump. The guy wouldn't come down a measly $25 on it (he had $125, I offered $100). I only wanted it out of boredom, instead my offer upset him and I left with nothing. Another $10 down the crapper at the Coliseum. I would be more interested in stuff if the pricing wasn't obsurd, seriously seemed liked most older guns are priced 35% too high. Maybe I'm just whining, but deals seem hard to find in Fort Wayne. On a good note I didn't see any $500 Sigma 9mm's either, like at the last show at K's Merch.
if it was as big as the 1500
Gotta say, I was a little disappointed. Not nearly as big as I expected. Worse, I only came across one vender displaying INGO pride. Here's to you Indiana Supply Co for keeping it from a total loss.
$25 off a $125 item is pretty different than $25 off a $700 item. I don't think I would sell a gun for 20% off my asking price either.
I've worked in Retail a good portion of the last 10 years of my life. A sale is better than no sale. I would rather make some profit than none and hold out for top dollar for lord knows how long. Not to mention when you turn away a somewhat reasonable offer that customer will go and put there money into your competitor's pocket. Now granted I have no idea what the guy had invested in the shotgun. He stated no to my offer quite rudely and began to tell me how he wasn't going to do that show again because people try to beat him up on prices all the time. He had the same stuff he had last time I saw him earlier this year. I'm sure I offended him though. I simply said OK and walked away. I will go buy something from someone else. I don't think he would have came down $5 to be honest with you, it wasn't like i offered him $40.
I may have missed the Quality of this Stevens pump gun was the gun worth The $125 he was asking! Heck single shot shot guns will bring $125 sometime on Ingo !

You must have missed Brad's Knives and Knife Lady, they are INGO supporters and Brad had a INGO hat on.
