I be there again but im sure guns will be way overpriced as usual

Come one Come all, for a Shit load of over priced firearms and stinky amish, with enough money to buy everything.

Truthfully, if you have a browning you want to part with... you can take it there and let it go to a Amish kid for 2-300 more than what you wanted for it. Anything with a browning buckmark... They buy.

Got to go on monday afternoon to find the deals.

When my dad and I were traveling to all the shows and self dealing, he used to stick thousands in my pocket and send me out... I picked up 9 1100's one year and the most I payed was 375 for a crown grade. Just got to keep your eyes peeled and not get distracted.

I might go Sunday.

^^^^

This!

[ross]

Just got back...overpriced as usual in case anyone was wondering. I love being lowballed like crazy when the guy has the same gun I'm carrying in his case for $200 more than he offers me.

[MidgetTodd]

So what you sellin?

[ross]

Not necessarily selling anything, more like looking to trade straight up (which is a non-existent concept at Johnstown).

What do you have/are you looking for?

[ross]

Looking for a Ruger Mark II or III.

I would possibly trade my pk380 but the more I consider it I think I will just keep the pk.

[C-bus]

That would be a fair trade.

[2talltim]

did anyone happen to see a LCP, the guy was in the first row buy the fence about half way down. Im kinda curious how much he put on it

[ross]

That would be a fair trade.

I wish some of the "dealers" would have seen it the same way we obviously do. One dealer had a pk380 in his case asking $450 with the walther laser. He asked what I would take for mine and I told him 350 based off of his asking price for the one he already had. He counter offered at 200

I kindly declined and then proceeded to "forget" to mention that a kid was stealing a knife.

[2talltim]

i thought it was funny a couple guys had 380 hipoints for over $200 one was $225 WTF???...Woodbury has them in their flyer this week for $99

[C-bus]

I've never had much luck at these types of things whether buying or selling.

[Beegreenstrings]

See my previous post! I lived in Johnstown for 20 years. Worked swappers with my dad for 12 of those years and always scouted for deals while there. If you try really hard there are deals there. But I have had such a bad taste in my mouth from that place I stopped going.
