Unhappy Well did a small show this last weekend

In terms of the number of people etc one of the worst I have ever done. They told me they had 264 people through the doors on Sat and Sunday. As far as sales I did ok.

People were NOT buying guns however. I sold a lot of primers and powder. some ammo..well quite a bit. Price of 22s is coming down..or at least what people are willing to pay for a brick..about 45 bucks at this show. The big powder asnd primer dealer in the area had no product and didn't show. But luckily I and a friend at another table had some powder enough to keep the buyers satisfied. She had some slightly lower prices on some but I had powder she didn't..like CFE 223 Superformance and Leverevolution. CFE 223 is impossible to find here. PO'ed a couple of people when I allocated one pound per person. One fellow that didn't want to pay my asking price and wanted 2 lbs...got none. Extremely annoyed is an understatement. Money must really be tight cause almost no gun sales..not even handguns. People did want to trade but not much going on in that vein either. Bought a few items..not all that many. No moulds etc. Got some dies bullets and such items but I usually buy at least 1500-2000 bucks worth of stuff and it just wasn't there. One Item I did get..well two.. A set of early S&W target grips for 20 bucks. Already sold for 225.. And I got a nice "set" of grips for a Browning Medalist pistol. One beautiful one piece grip for a beautiful pistol. Otherwise one of the worst shows I have done in quite a while..and with what went on this morn in DC..probably going to be getting in the go crazy mood again...
