That old grim reaper thinned out a lot of those old guys.Found some good buys at the Jonesboro Rd. show. Gotta get there early.
I find some humor when people say over and over they cannot find anything at the shows. Gotta know what your looking at and have cash to buy it in a lot of cases. Very rarely have I gone to a show and did not find something.
Curious to hear from others on here. Am I one of very few people on here that has a broad depth of knowledge on firearms and related items and their values and the cash to buy them?
Are there others here that can look at a box of parts and make an educated decision to buy or not?
Any others here that can identify a magazine in a box of junk that will bring a lot of money?
Any one else here that feels a rush when you see a new vendor with stuff on a table that everyone else just walks by?
Where are the previous Southeastern Arms Collectors members?
Where are the former table holders that we used to have a great weekend with at the shows?
Where are the true gun collectors that used to attend the shows?
Where are the product catagory experts that used to haunt the shows? The 1911 guys, the HK guys, the rimfire guys, the Colt guys, the S&W guys, the Winchester guys, the ammo guys?
Maybe we need a gun club for these folks that are dedicated and would put on 1 or 2 shows a year for members only. Like OGCA or AGCA. Do we have enough interest in metro Atlanta or suburbs to do that?
Anyone a member of a local gun club that sounds like this?
I'm not sure shows will ever be back to how they were back in the day , due to the political cliamate, and the media.Unless you travel to Tulsa.
