OAKS 3 Day Show OCT 15, 16, 17, 2021

[Walleye Hunter]

A couple comments as a vendor:

First off, as for people having to come back the next day; PICS was REALLY backed up and slow. Some Instachecks (Now there's a misnomer if ever there was one) took in excess of 4 hours. We suspect inadequate number of operators at PICS combined with three major gun shows plus normal gun shop traffic for the delays. It sucks on our end too.

As for price markers: If nothing is price marked at all; yes it's a bit of a PITA for you all trying to figure out any interest. That is an indicator that the dealer may be less than stellar to deal with. However if most everything is marked and an occasional tag is missing or upside down; meh, people are human sometimes stuff gets bollixed up. Especially at a busy gun show like Oaks. Someone puts a gun back in the case and they don't notice the tag is flipped or they get a new item in and forget to mark it. I've seen dealers run out of price marking tags at shows and scramble to find some from other vendors.

Bottom line is for you asking price curious attendees is: If the dealer has nothing marked they might be a bit tough to deal with or a bit disingenuous. However if most everything is marked and a tag is missing or flipped, chalk it up to human error and just ask nicely. Most of us will be happy to correct our little oppsies.

As for Oaks itself this weekend: in a word WOW! We were SOOOO busy and in a good way. Decent sales and mostly really nice people to deal with. The A-hole factor was very low this weekend considering the difficulties with the crowd and PICS. Thanks to all who stopped buy or did business with us.

I suspect that this is due to your selection of desirable items at reasonable prices. To my slightly experienced eye, you sell nice, clean firearms.

Just look for Mickey Rooney behind the glass cases, peddling his wares.

I am not affiliated with him. He is usually to the left along the wall. Highland Arms is his business name.

Or they have tags but are hidden under the gun, or flipped over so the price is being shown to the inside of the case.

Never understood that...and I keep walking. Seems to me that it would save them a lot of aggravation and effort to simply let folks see the price.

First sign that there prices are too high, or a vendor isnt worth my time.

Its bad business.

Yes. Little red Highland Arms sign on top of some three tier tower cases.

You had a decent P220 for sale but the nickel plated hammer and decocker and other controls killed it for me....other than that overall decent selection.
