[dale2242]

Just how many posts do I have to read through to get one funny thing heard at gun shows?
You people have seriuosly hijacked this mans thread with your squabbling.
Let`s back to the threads original intent.....dale

A sign I saw at last weeks gun show.

If wife is happy.
Life is good.

Funniest thing I heard was on the way to the gun show. My wife told me that she never wants me to go to a show by myself; she likes to shop, too!

Have I mentioned that I am a lucky guy?

A sign I saw on a table full of old Single shot rifles:

"Your wife just called. She said buy whatever you want."

Now, THAT's funny! The guy at the table has a good sense of humor.

The guy at that table would get me shot!

It is called being a Man and standing up for what is right and standing against what is wrong. If more people would stand up and raise the BS flag instead if standing idly by while someone gets screwed than this country would be much better off.

THIS...

You can't do good business with bad people. That goes for the guy at the gun show as well as the guy in the White House. Ripping someone off because you can is the same if done by a punk with a broken beer bottle or a cheat at a gun show. If the guy could sell a gun above retail because he had a silver tongue, so be it. But the guy was flat out lying, and that shouldn't go unchallenged by anyone who knows better. Because what's his next B.S. line going to be?

"If your husband was alive, he'd know that Pedersen device on that '03 Springfield cut its resale value way down, because it's been altered."

"You can use this can of Bullseye in place of 4831, just add a little more because it's pistol powder."

"Your dad won't mind if you come back to my camper to check your Facebook page. You aren't the first fifteen year old girl who has gotten bored at a gun show."

Yes, all of those are over the top, but where do YOU draw the line at someone lying.?

Back to the funny stuff:

I think I threw a real curve to a guy last gun show. He had a stainless steel Bearcat for the best price I had seen. He deals in mostly new Rugers.

"I want to buy that stainless steel Bearcat."

"Why?...Wait, what?"

"That's a good price, I'm not even going to haggle."

"Well, I can't really go any lower than...Oh yeah you DON'T want to haggle...well then... okay..."

I think I caught the dealer off guard, but it was a good deal and that guy always has good deals. I just thought it funny that he seemed to have a hard time believing he had such an easy sale.

[bowfin]

Here's another one that got a guy a dirty look and a punch from his wife for saying this to a mutual friend. I can only speculate on what he didn't get from her for the following:

"What do you have there?"

"Oh I got this youth 20 gauge and a couple boxes of shells for my wife."

"That's a pretty good trade. Honey, let's go over there to that guy and see if he will give me the same deal on you."

[jcwit]

Now here's a funny one, not long ago was at one of our local shows and spotted a Stainless Steel Springfield 1911 45 ACP Auto new in the box for sale for $350.00 at one of the larger dealers. I snatched it up right away and didn't tell him that Buds Guns had the same model (PB9151LP) at a discounted price of $653.00 and he should sell it for more money.

Nope, kept my mouth shut and mailed in the guarantee papers when I got home.

[bowfin]

Hmmmm....

I guess I have been lucky, or maybe have a different attitude about shows.
I mainly go for entertainment, and I guess I have never been to one that I didn't think was worth the admission price. I have never worried or cared what price a vendor wants to put on his property, if it is out of line I keep walking. I generally do more bs'ing with the vendors than buying anyway.

Almost any auction here, there is a few firearms and some ammo too, and they always bring more than retail, some much, much more. I just pass on them, but I have bought a lot of reloading equipment and components at the auctions at fair to even real cheap prices.

Didn't realize how badly I "needed" one until I saw Ammoheads..By then ,no new ones in normal retail channels..SO+++++ ,2+ yrs ago,during one of those infamous Friday night setups, here's a rifle (NOT the carbine) , easily 95% condition, set to go at $425.. It was not there when the Saturday morning crowd came surging in..Have yet to see anything already tagged on Friday nites at that gents table(s)since..However,I can find you one quicktime for $899.90 .........

A gun shop in Laramie Wyo. 15 years ago had the sign outside: Guns, Buy Sell, Trade, Lie, Cheat, Steal.

Now that is funny! My favorite are the good salesmen. This took place at the crimson trace table.

Salesman: "What kind of pistol do you carry?"
Me: "Glock 26"
Salesman: " How do you aim at night?"
Me: "Trijicon night sights."
Salesman: "Have you ever considered a laser?"
Me: "No. I am good."
Salesman: "Well what about your wife? Has she ever considered a laser?"
Mrs Love Life: " I have thought about it."

Lets just say my wallet was a little lighter after that. I couldn't fault the guy though. He knew his stuff, and the Crimson trace is pretty cool on her Glock 17.

Bill:

If you still have that 7-30 in May bring it to NCBS. I would like to take a look at it. They aren't gonna go down in price they only made so many and some day people are going to find out what great shooters they are, cast or jacketed.

That reminds me of the sign on a bar called Chilkoot Charlies in Anchorage, Alaska.
Sign read:
"We cheat the other guy and pass the savings on to you"

[Norbrat]

Not really gun related, but a sign at a local secondhand store a few years ago:

"We buy Junk, we sell Antiques!"

[MtGun44]

Well, not a gun show - but. . . . .

Reminds me of the law firm that the Click and Clack Brothers use -

"Dewey, Cheatham & Howe"

I actually saw this firm name painted on an upstairs window in a storefront near
Harvard.
