If you want to have some fun at a gun show try to come up with something somewhat rare and expensive to carry in. I brought in a 41 Johnson in pristine condition. Act like dumb farm boy, (I got this here army rifle my uncle left me. He was a Marine and loved this rifle.) Let the BS begin and the dealers make silly offers and you can see the dollar signs racing around their heads. "Gee, that's a really old rifle and not to easy to sell. I'll give you $500.00 cash" On and On, but it was fun anyway.
