The last three gun shows I have been to in Sioux City, Iowa, have been freaking garage sales with people selling "collectables," their own "trailer park art" and cheap assorted military surplus junk. Most of these "artists" wear their beat-to-hell M65 field jacket, a hat with a stupid political statement and have ignored basic grooming habits. They obviously do not have a dental plan either.

I have seen people selling Russian M44s for twice you can buy one for at AIM Surplus. I have seen Yugo M-48A mausers without the cleaning rod and front hood sight for $250. I saw one guy reading the CDNN Investments catalog with 2x mark-ups on the crap he was selling.

The only reason to go to the gun shows promoted by L&L Gun Shows here in Sioux City has been one CZ dealer who sometimes comes from east of Omaha. However, he was trying to sell CZ-75B Military pistols without the 15-round mag and then charging big bucks on the side for it.
