If the item is $185 and you pay with 2 $100 bills I'll just round the total up to $200 with a $15 handling fee (me handling the item over to you) and that takes care of that. If you follow that practice on all your sales you'll make a whole lot of money but have no repeat customers.
I park where I'm going to be and roll my wagon either to the front or to the back. I think it is incredibly rude to park your vehicle at the doors and make it difficult for other folks to make their way in.
I go through the front door on Friday early pulling my little wagon. As long as the elevator is working I can take the wagon down and roll right to my table. I'll be bringing more guns on Saturday morning and since I'll already be checked in I will probably come though the back doors with my...
I bought my last transceiver there and they had a very good price. Got the power supply and a new antenna tuner at the same time. They had a great selection, good prices and were knowledgeable about every piece of gear in the store, including the used gear. They have a web site and you can...
I have been licensed since 1982. I am a High Frequency Morse Intercept Operator by military specialty and did that in the Air Force from 1970 - 1992. I have been stationed in Europe, Middle East, Far East and other places I'd just as soon not talk about. I have been active on HF most of my...
I have buried both my parents and my sister. I loved them all. Dad had heart disease and had been sick a lot. Many things he wanted to do but couldn't. I was gone for 23 years in the Air Force but he had my brother in law that acted like a son and did stuff with him. I was there for the...
I have set up for the last 2 shows and have a table at this one. I have set up on Friday both times. There is security around the clock, including over night, and I have no issues leaving my weapons and sale stock there overnight. I appreciate the extra time on Friday to set up without having...
Last time I got called, after filling out the paperwork and being seated in a big room, they kept giving instructions verbally. I am hard of hearing, even with my hearing aids in and I kept having to say, really loudly, you have to speak up, speak louder. I was in the first group sent home...
Actually I talked with the teller. She said Grandpa died and he had saved half dollars for a long time. Grandkids inherited the coins, had no interest, rolled them up and took them to the bank and cashed them in for their $430 inheritance. I'm sure that doesn't happen often and I was lucky...
Somebody told me the guy running the taco concession was going to be trading tacos for ammo. Sounds like a good deal to me unless the trade has to be heavily in his favor.
I just want to tell a little story about silver. I was in the bank last week, Wednesday, and as always I asked if they had an half dollars. Teller said no but there are some in the vault so I bought 2 rolls. Got them and she mentioned they had another 43 rolls left. Got home and opened up...
I converted my Mini-14 from a club (as I purchased it) to a functioning weapon when I inserted a full magazine and racked the slide. I wouldn't sell it to anyone with the conversion in place so if you are going to buy one, buy the club, and it's a little light on the weight side so doesn't...
In 1966 when I first started driving I would drive up to the Hood Oil Station in Mableton, pull up to the pumps and the attendant would come out, I'd ask for a dollars worth of regular and he would pump a little over 3 gallons, then clean the windshield, check the air in the tires, and thank for...
If you don't carry cash when you come to the ODT Gun Show coming up you probably are not going to be able to buy much of anything. I'm pretty sure the taco seller with the banana pudding only takes cash also. Come by my table, but bring cash and I'll have cash to give you your change.
I'm on the other side of Biker13 at table #14. I won't know what I'm bringing until I roll my little wagon through the door. Will probably be some guns and maybe some ammo but other than that, who knows. Drop by anyway and look, no one can tell you everything they are bringing.
I did hear...
Anybody going to set up to sharpen knives at the gun show? I have a couple that I would love to have sharpened (beyond my ability to do a nice job) and willing to pay a reasonable price.
