knoxville expo gunshow

[Oh Shoot]

Not sure where they are putting me. It will be against the wall is all I know. The environment was too good for me, Oh Shoot. I have gotten so busy that I have had to hire extra help. When it quits being a hobby and becomes a job all the fun is gone and it's time to do something else. Been averaging selling about 5 guns a day but it is a madhouse at times.The stress is beginning to get to me. I am going to build a house on the lake and really retire.

Well, that's all good news then. I've seldom had to leave an endeavor because of success!

But that last part sounds great, been meaning to do the same myself, perhaps you'll help inspire me. I'll try to look ya up there on Sat.

Is there a TGO flag or something that vendors put out so noobs know who they are and who to support?

I could use another Gen 4 Glock 19. I love mine so much I would buy another if the price was right. Don't think I will make it to the show, though.

I walked up at 0945 and there was no line at all. Did a quick walkthrough, ran into Dolomite and Sour Kraut, said hi to David and got to meet Eray. Picked up a couple of things from Eray. His prices were fantastic. Other than that I found absolutely nothing at the show that I needed. There was a line to get in when I left, probably 75 people deep.

I'm really surprised at the lack of crowd today. I guess everyone else is more confident of a Romney win on Tuesday than I am...

Was similar at Jacobs building last time, very light crowd. I wish I could have been there to see what Eray had, but oh well.

[eRay]

I had a great day. Sold 15 handguns and almost all my ammo. 26 more to sell tomorrow and I can retire. Thank you to all of you who bought something today. I really appreciate it.

[dlm37015]

where are you at in the show

[knox]

What's left, Eray? Can you share your prices?

Wouldn't really be kosher to push them here like that.

I bagged show today, and have plans tomorrow, sorry I didn't get by your table, Eray (probably best for overall finances, though). Hope you turn the rest tomorrow but still sorry to have one less gun shop down your way.

Man, I really hate living all the way over here in West TN... All our shows here are posted, so of course I do not go.

Didn't mean to over step. My bad. I would make the trip if I thought it might be a good deal.

Not my call, just forestalling a flogging.

Not at all. I appreciate it, sincerely. The last thing I want to do is ruffle feathers.
