    Default Did sellers show up to Forks of Delaware today?

    Was there a good showing of sellers and buyers today at Forks of Delaware in Allentown?

    I went.

    Most of the jerky & trinket sellers were elsewhere.

    Lots of WW II stuff, seemed like mostly German.

    Lots of cool old guns, seemed like mostly overpriced.

    Not a lot of modern gear, but some. Some ammo.

    Seems bizarre to me to have different large shows on the same days, but I don't know the backstory...

    I wound up getting a set of grips for an old Colt.

    You will NEVER find jerky , trinkets , arts & crafts and other flea market crap at the Forks show. It's a HISTORICAL arms show.

    There are some very good meat shops across the way at the Farmers Market though.

    I was there yesterday. I thought the prices overall were high enough to not bother to even begin to haggle on something I was interested in. I do have to admit, there were some really nice civil war era relics there. I didn't see a lot of selling going on.

    Seems as it is more "show" than "sell" but I had fun looking.

    The things I liked were definitely priced on the high side.

    It's weird to see better deals on Gunbroker...

    I should have gone into the Farmer's market while I was there.

    I'm looking for a source for properly raised pastured beef that is semi-convenient.

    That's what I was thinking!! Hell, Heritage Guild has better deals on some of the pieces I was looking at!
