Private Sales @ Indy 1500

[abovebrew]

Hello,

I'm looking to purchase a particular revolver (Colt Python). Are you able to do private sales at the Indy 1500 events? Would I get kicked out if I wore a huge sign saying "WTB Colt Python"?

Thanks for the advice.

I have sold or traded many guns by carrying a backpack with a dowel rod sporting a 8-1/2 x 11 paper sign advertising. I have never been told it wasn't allowed.

Hello and welcome to INGO. I've never seen a WTB sign on an individual at the 1500. You'll see vendors with those signs at their tables, but WTS is what you see from individuals. I say go for it! It's a gun show, someone will sell you a gun.

As it gets closer to the next 1500 you'll see threads on the subject. If you're there on Friday stop by the NRA booth, I'm the 50-something with the grey beard.

Appreciate the warm welcome and the advice. I've got my eye on a couple online auctions, but I would much prefer to buy locally and not pay tax / shipping / FFL / ETC fees. If I don't have a python in my hands by then, I'll be sure to stop by the booth and introduce myself. Cheers.

Hey Kelly.....as this gets closer let me know. I would love to come out and see you and many other friends.

I think last time I was there, they had a sign posted saying no deals in the parking lot. But memory is fuzzy on that.

I remember my pals and joking about buying each other's guns for a few bucks just to "buck the system"

I'll be bumping a thread here in, oh wow it's in less than three weeks! Haven't seen you since the south-side M&E TT POC'd. Nothing like hanging out at a gun show, seeing INGOers in real life, playing "spot the zombie", or "who really doesn't fit in at a gun show?" In the big pavilion this time.

Hopefully no new federal background check law will be passed before the next indy show, but who knows!

I'll stop by at the booth.

I also need to give Mr. Johnson (the safe guy) a hard time about not returning my call about a request to move a 2,000LB safe out of my basement.

. Yeah... I pay to park in that lot. I will buy a gun there if I want to!

I didn't have much luck selling a shot gun last time I went. I may ask my gf to get tarted up and put the shotgun in her hands with a for sale sign and see if she has more luck than I.

I’ve done multiple private sales at the Indy gun show. Someone else said to put a flag type thing displaying what you have. Many people walk around with a riffle on a strap over their shoulder with a sign sticking out of it. Very good way to find what you’re looking for if you want to sell it. People will notice

Friend this is an old post. This was a mistake I made in the beginning as well. Someone thankfully told me to check the date



Edit. Hey welcome to the site by the way
