Doing another gun show.

Just a bit of an observation. There seems to be a sense of desperation but not as intense as it was. ARs are not selling as high..and in fact guns aren't really selling..cept maybe handguns. I sell very few handguns. And most of them to friends and people I know. But the one thing people ARE trying to find is reloading components. almost anything sells. I have sold 8 bullet moulds..just yesterday afternoon. Friday afternoons are not the greatest day for gun shows. I put some eye candy on the table in the guise of 22 LR ammo. I really don't want to sell it cause it is so hard to replace. I put 50 bucks each on 4 bricks..and tell 'em I don't want to sell it because I can't replace it..and they still buy it. I did see some 22 cal bullets for sale..at greatly inflated prices..35 bucks a 100 for .224 bullets made for 22 Hornet and 218 Bee. And so marked..They are NOT good bullets for the 223 but they were still buying them. Had a guy come to my table while my wife was free..he wanted a can of H322 and a can of H380. He didn't even ask a price and gave her 60 bucks for them both. She told him that was too much..he waved her off and said he was happy..Sheesh..I have been buying a bunch of small reloading items..Stuff I don't need but some I do. There are so many people comin in the doors I don't get much chance to go lookin.. And momma won't be there to help today. I had a new in box Dillon 550B I put on the table..no price on it yet and a fellow came along and offered me 500. I told him the price was less..he said well heck yeah and walked out with it. It really isn't right to gouge people...no matter how desperate they are. And the price was still a bit over retail. He just said he wanted it cause he didn't have to wait 8 weeks or more for Dillon. A guy offered me 250 bucks for a set of Dillon Carbide 223 dies right out of my Dillon Super 1050. Good grief. I didn't sell them
