Baltimore show / update
 

Any news from the front lines on what and if
Anything is @ the show in line with Parker or A.H. fox gems ?

Pat, I think I'll give the news on Monday. Just not enough happening today. Lots of stuff out there, but not enough to comment on.

I am a newbie, but did spend a few hours there today. I saw more Parkers than I remember seeing in the past couple years. To my limited experience the prices were up. I saw one really nice D grade that was interesting and not too badly priced. Edgar had a really smoking nice Winchester and a beautiful Parker for sale. I was too cash poor to take advantage of any of the deals I thought I saw. I did not see any Parkers above D myself. We will see what the guys that worked the whole show say afterwards.

Any Parker 8's there for sale ?

Eric, you missed the B hammerless on my tables. Kevin and I scored a third table because of a no show so we are "spread out".

Bill,
I missed your BH. But by the time I got over to your side of the building I was pretty pressed for time. Other than that, I saw nothing above D grade for sale. No Parker 8s.

I saw no real great deals on Parkers. A few other decent possible buys. But I told myself I was not going to spend much. But still bought some odds and ends. It was nice to see all the people who attended. Some familiar and some new.

Same here Brian it was great finally meeting you face to face and having an opportunity to chat. It was also great to see the Parker guys and many other old friends and made some new ones.

It was the first show in a while that I didn't buy anything, I saw quite a few things I liked and I had my heart set on a Jaeger rifle that I spotted but by the time I got my checkbook and came back to it, it was gone. I never seem to learn my lesson. :banghead:

Checkbook at a gun show? At the shows I attend, if you attempt to buy with a check, you'd be going home empty-handed. Cash is king!

Never personally had a problem with it and I've written quite a few.

For how much money some guns sell for these days, sellers have to be open to accepting a check of they want to sell anything.
