After action report:
Could have been better. I was in Mesquite (east of Dallas), and it was the most 'urban/ghetto' crowd that I've
ever seen at a gun show. The hot commodities were 9MM pistols/ammo, and black rifles/5.56 ammo, and the kool kids were buying 12-gauge semi-automatic 'streetsweepers'.
Nobody was really interested in my two Yugo M-48 Mausers aside from nice comments "Those are really nice!", but that was as far as that went. I sold some ammo:
1,000 Winchester M-22 (.22 LR) -
$150200 Winchester white box .40 S&W -
$140100 CCI Green Tag .22 LR -
$2050 UMC FMJ .380 ACP -
$25 200 CCI .22 LR -
$301 old leather rifle sling -
$102 300 round boxes of CCI AR Tactical .22 LR and 4 50-ct boxes of Federal Champion .22 LR -
$110 Not one nibble on any of my 30.06 hunting ammo (Sierra GameKing, Barnes Triple Shock, Nosler Ballistic Tip, etc.), not much demand at this location for .40 S&W ammo, nobody even looked at a new box of Winchester Long Beard XR 12-gauge. Lots of unsophisticated urban-types came by asking if I had 9MM ammo, a couple even asking if I had 5.7x28 ammo (!!).
Paid for table and gas and lunch and I had some left over, so I did make a (small) profit. Selling my .22 LR ammo at $0.15/ea was pretty good, the last sale of the day was the .22 for $0.1375/ea
Next time I'll pick a show with a different demographic that better suits what I have to sell.
