King of Prussia Gun Show - Valley Forge Gun Shows

[bogey1]

If this wasn't directly on my way home from work I probably wouldn't go. Hope the guy with all the reloading stuff will be there. I'm just sick of paying $10-15 to see a bunch of smartass part-time gun dealers wait for a sucker to come along and pay MSRP for (mostly) junky guns.

dont forget the jerky/toy helicopter vendors.

While there IS a jerky vendor at the KOP show (A pretty good one by all accounts I've heard) there is NO toy helicopter vendor there. That guy is at the C&E show in Monroeville near Pittsburgh.

The last two times I wen to the KoP show there was indeed a toy helicopter vender there. He was in the back near the safes and the reloading powder vendor.

I remember meeting you there, your table was up front. the toy guys are in the back near the guy with the miserable wife.

Really? I must be spending too much time up front at my tables. I never saw him. But then again my mind may have shut that crap out. I DO however stand corrected.

. . . my mind may have shut that crap out.

The mark of a veteran gun show vendor.

There's so much one has to be prepared to overlook and ignore, because the last time I checked, it's against the law in PA to shoot someone that's irritating.

So true Noah. If it were otherwise I'd have shot the stun gun zappers and cell phone jammer people long ago. I guess the best I can do is bitch, moan and complain to the show promoters.

All kidding aside; Noah has a point. At every show, even the good ones, there is some stuff that just doesn't belong. If the show is otherwise worthwhile; just ignore the few tables of junk and move on. If however the show is 50%+ flea market garbage, then just skip the whole damn thing and save your time and money for a good show.

My problem with this particular gun show is that the operators of the show have very specific rules for what they allow on their website. They apparently don't enforce it at all. My personal opinion is because they want to sell out every table, but since that probably can't be done by gun dealers they "allow" other vendors in.

After all, how can you possibly miss a guy with 2 full tables of RC Helo's stacked 8' high?

Yeah she was a real treat when I was trying to pay them for components. Didn't realize I was doing her such a disservice. The saving grace is that the guy is actually nice.

Could somebody please explain to me the insane concept of my having to pay $10 to shop?
