January's Indy 1500

[Raskolnikov]

...maybe some of those Code Pink protesters will show up.

I wonder what they will have left, the vendors that do the 1500 will do 2 or 3 shows bettween from all the excitement till the show. So the pmags and black rifles will be high or gone.
I am looking for 5.56 62 grain, so far it's .50 ea or NONE.
Also my look for a Glock 17, I am a Glock 23 and shield carrier, but might like that 17.
See YOu There!!
I should get a table, I make in ear, filtered plugs.......

If I go, it will only be for the opportunity to hang out at the INGO booth, and stare in astonishment at the buying frenzy.

I am going to be taking about 4 guns with me to try to sell so i can upgrade my collection. Hopefully with the large crowd expected to be there, i can get these guns sold Fast!

Don't pay to go in. Sell 'em in the parking lot.

I'm sure there'll be somebody outside in line tired of waiting.

I haven't been to 1500 in about a year, and I don't think it will be any fun in January. All I need to do is find my wife a handgun for her to carry. Hopefully, the panic buying won't bleed over to handguns.

Went to Greenfield show this weekend and the prices were horible!

 

[Bunnykid68]

What legislation is pending?

 

[WC Deer Hunter]

What legislation is pending?

You know the NEW AWB that includes all semi automatic fully select fire rapid clip wielding maniac guns!


Actually I've never been to the 1500 and was planning on going but now I doubt it.

 

[natestyle]

sounds like this show will be a waste of time. I'll wait and see what happens.

 

[Indy574]

That show will be stupid crazy...haven't been to one in about a year, might have to wait a little longer.

 

[SEMI-AK]

I am planning on attending and will enjoy the people watching/buying frenze.

 

[hps]

I went to the 1500 about 2 yrs ago, I'll not return, whatta waste!

Mail order ,the best gun show there is. Indy 1500 can be great depends what your looking for but now,madhouse yes it will be stupid,all gun shops are that way now,But I dindnt like the price raise to get in ,,too much for me now, though I'll go to see the party this time [might be a last show]get things to 'supply' me thru some years if there is anything to be had for normal prices.

 

[pwoller]

I will not ever go to another Indy 1500 show. Too much to get in and it makes me feel like I have to buy something since I already dropped the coin at the door. Plus the prices are too high.

 

[itsgreg]

It will be a mad house, just like the Jan. 2009 after Obama was elected the first time, at that time it was just the thought that he may do something.
This time around is the real possibility that he will do something.

Let's hope the dealers will not take advantage of the situation, but I suspect they will.

they can only take advantage of a situation if people are willing to pay what they ask. The price of guns ammo or anything is set by the buyers not the sellers.
If you were selling your old car and everyone said they would pay $5000 for it, maybe you thought you would only get $1000 for it. what would you sell it for?

 

[saberstar]

Went to the last one and I wasn't impressed. This one with all the stuff going on is not going to be fun at all. Either hit Bradis or this new gun shop in Mooresville to see what he has.

Three Ring Circus

I went to the Indy 1500 a few months ago and had to wait in a line around the building. I can only imagine how it will be at the next show. These shows are simply no fun for me; I usually just shop online (SOG, AIM, Cope's, Glen's, CTD, Natchez, etc.).

 

[kennys_67]

I just wish they would seperate the handguns from the long rifles, so I could get a chance to look at something. Oh well Local gun shops will probably like my money too

 

[indygoat]

Of course they will! It's business in a capitalistic system. Price is set by demand. Profits increase when demand increases. Profit is the goal. Kipling wrote lines similar to this:

If he play, being young and foolish,
Take is money, my son, praising Allah.
The fool was born to be sold.

If one wants it, one will pay anything for it. The seller makes a nice profit. You would do the same, wouldn't you? It's just business.

You're exactly right, I would do the same. But doesn't mean we can't complain about it.
