    Well I ended up going. Took my fiancee. Picked up two class 3-a bullet proof vests for fiancée and myself. Friend picked up a used Kahr PM9 for 400. Not a bad show at all. I have been to the big show in Dallas and gotta say Austin Saxet Show is much better.

    I went on Sat... meh. Didn't see anything worth making an offer on and everything was at least 10% overpriced. Makes me think I need to setup my own table

    That was a great price on that kahr. Did it come with the box and two mags? I just paid $450 for a lnib a week or two ago. I'm on the hunt to trade my xdsc40 for a pm40 or metal frame 40 too. Love the conceilability and the decent trigger on the kahrs.

    Hmm.. I'd split a table with ya.. Lol..
    Ha, well I've already talked to a couple of my buddies about it. I think we're going to do it on the next one. I think it might really be the best way to get the most out of a show. You get in on the horse trading that goes on during dealer setup, and with the current market selling just one gun should cover the cost the table.

    Anyone ever work a show before? Got any tips?

    I'm just sayin, more people maybe get two tables, more eyes on the merchandise, more ways to split the cost... Just makes sense.... Plus more merchandise to make the setup more attractive to a larger audience, which means more people spend more time at said tables, which could translate to More Money... Just sayin...

    Sure, I've got a few. Bring a comfortable chair. Bring your own lunch, jerky won't cut it. Make sure that selling at price (i.e. 10% under what you thought was overpriced) covers your time. Be ready for tire-kicking and fantastic conspiracy theories coming your way.

    It was with one mag but appeared shot very little.
