So i went to a gun show today. it was the 2 bro's gun and knife show in port charlotte. i went just to see what was out there and how prices were doing. the actual dealers had normal pricing. the fudds with the relics were priced with no intention of selling. the show did check every ones temperature and handed you a mask to wear. it was a smaller show but it got me out the house for a while. later on i stopped at shoot straight on the way home and they did not have much in stock. still had sales on brands like beretta and springfield but not much to choose from. im happy things are starting to get back to normal.

I get their names, submit a Google Alert entry under "Obituaries", then sit back and wait for the estate sale...
:lol:

Just simple Google searchs for them. Also the local storage units advertise when they are going to auction units.

I advertise that we buy Estates and do firearm closeouts and it hasn't really worked out too well

the storage auctions that Ive attended the guns went for stupid prices, so now I don't waste my time

I think the key is attending estate and "farm" sales in less populated areas (read Goat Hump, Oklahoma etc.). Anywhere there's a good-sized populous, you're going to get crazy bids/buyers.
