Would you pay to walk into Cabelas?

After I attended a Gun show here maybe a month ago,

I walked out shaking my head, I knew better but still went.

Never again.

Interesting POV.

Kind of like paying for logo gear, caps, shirts, etc. Years ago businesses gave them away for their advertising value. Then they learned that folks would pay for them.

Want me to advertise your stuff? Fine, here's my fee schedule.


He has a point. Kinda like paying to go to a new car autorama -you can see them for free in a dealership. But since there are 'antiques/classics' at a gunshow it's like paying to go to an antique/classic indoor car show - you're helping defray the promoters cost of building rental.
