I quit going to gun shows about 4-5yrs ago cause the prices had climbed, and in some case surpassed prices at the LGS's.

Went to two last year and found out that things haven't changed. Saw a young fella purchase a Marlin 22 rifle for about the same price as you would pay around here at a store simply cause the vendor was advertising that if you bought a .22 from him, he'd sell you a brick of ammo for $30 + tax.

What a deal!

Course at that show, the ridiculous $30+tax on the .22's was a deal when compared to the hilarious prices of the rest of the vendors.
