INGO Booth at the June 1500

[KellyinAvon]

It was great to meet you guys today! Love my new coin!

It was nice meeting you too. You could've bought two coins, we were running that BOGOASC deal (buy one get one at same cost)

 

[RobbyMaQ]

Seriously, the water that came out of that thing was not fit for a dog. I have proof as a dog owner was going to fill a bowl for his dog and after seeing it changed his mind.

Hop tried some and commented on how horrible it was.
Annette bought a lifestraw earlier in the day. I'm thinking maybe we sell filtered drinks for 5$ a sip!

My son and I were there today about 3pm, and I was really surprised at how few people were there. I saw some OK deals, but unfortunately didn't have any spare money to try to wheel and deal. I didn't see any deals on ammo. Boxes of CCI .22LR for $12??? No thanks.

It was good to see you again Robbie. And a pleasure to meet your lovely bride.

I hear ya. The only deals I saw were INGO advertisers like Bobcat. Everyone else's powder prices were 2 or more bucks per pound more. Projectiles were high too. Except for a few deals, most prices were retail to high. Nothing to write home about. (But it was fun to wander for a while. Something I havent done in at least 10 years now)

Except for two things: Vendor in the back right corner with a big old 4'x5' sign that simply read CLIPS. As I walked around his displays I saw 3x5 cards above each area that read Glock clips, S&W clips, Ruger clips, Colt clips, etc. I dont know what he was talking about. It took me forever to finally find his box of clips. Everything else was just magazines.
Vendor up front on the right, Ruger 10/22 with folding wire stock. Damned thing looked like it had been stored under somebody's bed for 30 years. Tons of surface rust everywhere. And it was priced for the bargain basement deal of $235.

I saw the "Clips" booth. I mentioned it when I was back there. Told them I was looking for Magazines and asked if they had any.

Man, those guys have been there for years. I don't know who is buying from them that keeps them coming back.

Ignorant idiots that dont know/care?

The "CLIPS" guy has been at every 1500 I've been to in the last 15 years. The only thing I can think of is that when he was having his sign made, they charged per letter, and he couldn't afford "MAGAZINES"

 

[Haven]

The most expensive thing I bought was a hat from the INGO booth.

CameraMonkey and I did find another booth that did have a bunch of different clips though, just not the one labeled "CLIPS".

If you think about it for a bit the general public calls them clips, the media calls them clips, they are known as "Clips" to most everyone.

...and it's up to us in the know to educate.

Most gun folks lean toward the type A personality. God love us, we all speak with a sort of authority. An otherwise smart conversation about guns that leads into the clips wording is always an indicator of whether that half of the conversation is on the mark or add lib.

Trust me that I do all I can to educate.
I just could not let that go yesterday. Had to say something.

I understand. Some just won't learn.

Scored an ingo dustcover for a near future build. THANKS INGO

 

[RobbyMaQ]

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the INGO booth to keep us company!

So is INGO back in August? I know we need to cover the cost of admission, but me and CM have got the "assemble the booth" thing down pat!! We don't even use the PVC pipe for unauthorized purposes.

At this time we plan to skip the slower show in August, and instead have reserved a table in the South pavilion for November.
We will have some new gear at that time also.

Well, that we know of anyway....

Can you guys not use pvc cement next time you put it together?
lol. j/k. Wife had a bit of a time helping to separate the fittings. I may need to do some light sanding

I have been using PVC tubing going on 10 years now to display our banner at the shows. Trust me when I say it's better to have a tight fit and be a pain to take apart than have any slop at all....don't ask me how I came to know this.

Also, It was good seeing CM, Kelly, Robby, and meeting his better half Annette. It's always good shooting the bull with you guys.
