You just never know.

I was at one of the Real shows when AJC got ticked off at Schramm's.

The result was prices way below normal gun show prices on several items as AJC undercut Shramm's.

I don't ever consider a trip to a gun show as wasted. Each one is an education. If you aren't informed enough to spot the occasional low ball price among all the high prices, you'll miss a lot of good buys.

ha, I need to stumble across anger-driven competition like that more frequently. There was a corresponding situation this past weekend, where one vendor in the back had very similar inventory to one near the door. Once word got around to the folks near the door, their prices dropped by a good $30-$40 on most of the overlap. I love free markets!

Are the gun shows at the GRB worth going to?

Same issue... if it is the "Real Gun Show", you get a lot of non-gun related items - jewelry, jerky, etc.
If it is the "High Caliber Gun Show", you get more gun related (and guns in general)

Real has never had a show at GRB.
