Martinsville BiWeekly GunShow Ammo Sales?

[SerereWarrior]

I was talking to a dealer at the Stout Field show this weekend and he told me about a market held every two weeks in or around Martinsville. Since I've got CRS disease and I didn't take notes I'm at a complete loss.

Anyone know of this sale? From the man's description the ammo prices are cheap and the dealers haggle hard.

Thanks everyone. Great board.

haven't heard of this but would be very interested to know more about it

He was probably talking about Traderdan and the small gathering he puts on.. He calls it Pocket traders.. There was one on the 11th but I'm not sure when the next one will be. He always posts on INGO when he's having one but I would imagine there will be another in the next couple of weeks.. It's 8-12, on Saturdays and a very informal event.. No dealers that I know of just FTF deals.. I've set up the last couple of shows to sell stuff and work on Glocks and enjoyed the show and the crowd. IF you send traderdan a message on INGO I'm sure he will give you the lowdown on it.

Next one is Saturday the 25th. Just past the Hillview Motel, in a big steel pole barn.

Thanks for the help, Everyone. That's the place I heard about. I remember Pocket Traders in some context. He also said the place with the buggy in the tree. He meant the VW Bug in a tree at the VeeDub guys place beside the Hillview Motel. I was thinking Amish buggy and didn't track. I can't help there were firearms in the room and my attention tends to wander.

It's this Saturday. The official time is 8-Noon, but things start winding down by 10:30 and are pretty much done by 11:00

Does he charge to set up a table there? I've got a couple I'm needing to sell.

 

[philagothon]

It's $10 to set up a table. There are always guys walking around with guns to sell, or you can share a table with someone else.

ETA: There's also free coffee and biscuits & gravy!

 

[DRob]

Hmmmm

Can you just walk in and swap stuff? For example: If a guy showed up with some .308 components he doesn't need, might he be able to swap them for something?

wonder if we could get a post of what might be there when it gets closer, I don't mean officail I mean like

Hey I'm going and I'm going to have a xxxxx for sale, or some xxxx to trade,

Yup. Just, no felons please! You'd still need to pay your $1 at the door, but then sell & swap until your heart is content. As long as you can carry our wares, there is no requirement to buy a table. There is usually a guy there that specializes in reloading supplies as well.

Edit to add:

It's not an INGO exclusive event. For that matter, there is probably relatively few INGOers there, especially among those who set up tables. The best way to find out what's there, is to go and check it out. There's usually a pretty good selection of just about everything. The room is on the smaller side, and probably maxes out at ~25 tables.

 

[chuddly]

i was going to ask if any reloading guys were there. I may have to swing in there and see what they have.

 

[NHT3]

I'll be there 8-10 or so with a couple of Glocks and working on Glocks. If you have a specific need PM me and I'll try to have it there for you.

I think I just might come out after our Men's Group Breakfast. Check my ads in the Classifieds to see what I have.

Thanks for the info!

Only if you sling that carbine you are trying to sell!

Sound like a plan, GGF. See ya there. Let me know what time

 

[MrYesterday]

Makes me wish I was still working up there. Maybe I'll get lucky and get sent back up for repairs again on a weekend it's going on. There aren't near enough gun shows down here close to Evansville.

We are going into our third year doing this informal event. Feel free to PM me for phone # if you have any questions.

I'll probably be there around 9:30 or so. "Have carbine, will sling."
