Ever thought of getting a table at a gun show?

[AZ Jeff]

Need to get rid of my reloading stuff,not much luck.Anyone have any advice or experience with being a one time vendor?

[AandO]

Probably will be a popular table after the 1st of 2018.


Maybe several others could go in with you to widen your selection and share the expenses

I say: Go for it.....

Have you tried posting in the Reloading Sales section? What are you trying to get rid of?

[ef9boy88]

The table is $120 for the weekend, you get a lot of tire kickers and a ton of people looking to buy it for almost nothing. Specifically what items are you selling of your reloading gear?

[racinjason233]

post a list of items and this forum will try and clear your inventory quickly.

I'm going through the same dillema. Have gone through over 15 boxes of assorted reloading components and tools. List is far too long to try to post here, but going to a local show is also not one of my favorite ideas either for all the reasons mentioned already.

Maybe I'll just add a shed onto my existing garage and turn it inot a reloading meca.

You'd be better off with regards to time and money by either lowering your prices until stuff sells, or putting it up on eBay.

Otherwise, you'll have to invest time and money into a gun show table that will mainly net you tire-kickers, looky-loo's low-ballers, and internet experts that will bend your ear for an hour with nonsensical prattle ( all the while blocking the front of your table from passers-by) and then wander off.

Might as well lose the money up front by lowering your prices, and saving that free Saturday for something fun.

Where ever you are , post something like reloading garage sale here .
From what I was told , cops check anything with serial numbers , if you collect sales tax , you will be low balled .
At 120 per table , you would have to sell alot to break even .
See if there are any reloading classes close to you . The class will be cheaper and the people there will want to buy / not resale .

Unless it’s the latest greatest carbide turret chucker people will want it free.
I’ve had a bunch of dies up for sale and I can’t give them away.
So I say put the stuff on eBay and flat rate ship it.

gun store consignment might be better so you dont have to waste time or money at a gun show, some stores sell it at gun shows.

[BajaJames83]

your time and $$ might be better spent doing and inventory and pictures and posting it up here or ebay

[rsrocket1]

I may put up a table if I ever come across a ton of jerkey or stuffed doll making merchandise.

Otherwise I'd simply put all my old worn out guns up for sale at double the new retail price and pack them all back up at the end of the show.

So, no one checked? He posted in FS yesterday.

If he really has two LNL ammo plants for $250 each, someone should go get them.

Last time i looked into a gun show table, they are all occupied. You need to get on a wait list. This is 2-3 years ago though. I am still on the wait list. They probably lost my contact info by now.

I think you have to get on the wait list at each show. Depending on which company you were talking to I do Cross Roads, and my fist one was this last Ontario show. I was on the wait list, showed up sat morning and got a table.
