Last one I went to was the one in Conyers and it was a waste of money. Not even any fun window shopping. Just high points, Glocks, jerky and junk.
I haven't been in about 3 years. I found a Glock 81 field knife for $10 once but everything else was way over priced
Nope... not anymore... don't like the prices, don't like the inventory or the crowd. ODT is my gun show.
I went to the RK show in Marietta on Saturday and was able to sell something I don't use. Reloading supplies were nonexistent except for the one guy that had expensive powder and only CCI primers. No Federal primers to be found, but, I know that's a common problem. BTW, AO has Federals. I find it odd that Federal Gold Match Magnum primers ($39.90) are $10/1000 cheaper than regular old standard primers ($49.90). The match primers have got to be better, right?
I did learn one thing, there is no shortage of over priced M1 Garrands.If I saw one, I musta seen a hundred. None under $900 and that one was so ragged out, I didn't even pick it up.

I'm going to say something before being swayed by what others here are saying:
I have been going to gun shows since around 1978. It used to be that scores of people went to the shows and brought guns to trade and sell. Now, those people are far and few between.
Everybody complains about the high prices at the gun shows, but the reality is the vendors don't have a high profit margin to begin with and the promoters charge outrageous prices for tables. So, how much stuff can you put on a table you paid $75 or more for???... then there are travel costs; the vendor has to eat, etc.
When people go to sell their firearms on sites like this, they want more than retail. So, I'm scratching my head. The last show I was at, I saw a specific type gun on sale for $489 NEW. The cheapest one on this site was $450 USED. And the prices are too high at the shows???
The government does what they can to discourage private parties from renting tables on a regular basis. People aren't bringing their weapons to the shows because folks on the Internet pay more than at the shows. IDK why.
I will continue to go to gun shows. There is plenty of selections and if the price is too high, it will be like Best Buy having been Amazon's show room. And, in addition to that, you meet people of like mind and IF you buy from an individual there, you have a degree of privacy not available on the Net. If you'd take your weapons and expect that you aren't going to get more than retail - and you might considering trading, the situation might slowly return to the way it was before the libs waged war on gun owners.
I used to work shows with my dad in the 90s and early 2000s. I loved it. A show is only as good as the people that go to it. I've heard promoters complain of a lack of good dealers, and I've heard dealers complain of sorry promoters.
All that aside the best show I ever worked was my first. We pulled out all the stops and took everything we had in our small shop. We were there to sell. We brought home less than half a dozen guns after that one weekend.
The reason why was we didn't have the cookie cutter variety of the other tables. I remember a guy having a fit when he walked up and saw a SVT-40, AG42B, and a FN49 laying beside each other. (He actually left Elberton and drove to Athens to get more money.)
Plus it's a generational thing I'm afraid. I had a HOBBY that I could MAKE MONEY doing, and I had a legit interest in. Everybody else's mama wouldn't let them play with old rifles, and hang out with old veterans.
