Oh, yes I saw that at Tulsa last year. Wally World locally got in a large shipment of 22 ammo so this guy takes his whole family (mom, dad, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, kids and wife) down and buys two bricks each. Then he has the gall to take one of their shopping carts and bring it into the show about half full of 22 ammo. So he stops in front of my tables and starts selling the $22 a brick ammo for $75 and people are buying it, but he made one mistake, he is blocking my tables. So I go out and ask him what he is doing and he gleefully tells me what he has done. I invite him to go somewhere else. So he leaves. In a minute here comes security, I stop them and ask pointedly why I should ever pay $110 for a table again. By show's end they announce that sale carts will not be allowed in the show again. I guess the other dealers got the chapped fanny. Some of this has just gotten way out of hand. On Friday there were just a few, on Saturday there were about twice the amount and by Sunday they were everywhere. They were not dealers that paid for tables. But the greed got them banned, or so the Big Wanna said.

A question, how do you go about selling bullets in boxes? Do you just sell them or do you limit the amount per buyer?
