Didn’t mean to get your dander up friend. I am sorry about that. I reckon I have a lot to learn. Never been to a show where people had everything priced. Again, I truly hope that everyone has a great time.

That would have been a 2nd edition. Teh first edition didn't know what a Glock was.

If you are referring to me, YES it ticks me off.

In fact, it sends me into a gran mal seizure (no offense @41mag).

If you don't price your stuff it means I have to ask. Why would I ask unless I had some interest?

This puts the potential buyer at a disadvantage. Think of the typical neckbeard interaction: "What are you selling your Glock for?" "What are you offering?" asks the seller. These sellers are MASTER NEGOTIATORS.

Or, the seller is just damn lazy. You paid for a table, took the time to haul all your junk to the Civic Center, yet you don't make the effort to price your stuff?

Hey, don't want to give an advantage to the seller 3 tables down! If you advertise a price on you precious Glock 17 at say, $399, this means dude 3 tables down can mark his (or not mark it at all) at $398 - clearly giving him an advantage over you.

Once again, a tactic used by MASTER NEGOTIATORS! You must not give an advantage to the seller 3 tables down by showing a price!

And thanks, I will try to have a good time at the show. I had booths for the first two shows and all my junk had a price tag on it so folks didn't have to ask. Who knows, maybe I lost sales due to the MASTER NEGOTIATOR 3 tables down asking a penny less for an identical item. I still had a good time.

Whew - this was clearly building up inside me over the years. Thanks for letting me vent. That felt great. I need a cigarette.

I price everything at my table and it doesn't hurt my feelings when someone offers less that what is on the price tag. If I'm shopping and I see something I like but it has no price, usually the owner is standing there talking to someone else and I'm not going to interfere with their conversation, I'll just keep on shopping at another table. I'm visual and when I see a price on something I like and the price is reasonable then I'll interrupt to tell your "I'll take it" so the price tag is the difference between a sale and a walk on by.

Just a few of the pistols…many more beyond these Not a dealer, just a guy trying to downsize, I don’t have the room for all these anymore! Make offers if you don’t like the price - worst I can say is ‘No’, I bet it won’t hurt your feelings

Turns out I had loosened the pos terminal connector (loose relay connector) when I replaced the blower motor last week.

A little tightening and it's working fine now.

What a dumbass.

Sounds like sumptin I'd do. Don't feel so Homer simpson-ish😆
