First, The smart money always canvases the parking lot and the door and corners. What irks the dealers about this operation is that a private buyer is willing to give the seller more than their 50% of a 20 year old book price offer. I was at a local show and the guy behind the table was a two bit shyster. A man walked up with an old saddle scabbard and pulled out a 2nd year production take down pistol grip 38-55 1894 Winchester. He went on yarn spinning, about how he never buys guns without taking them all the way apart first. Then went on to tell the guy the top money is always 1000.00 dollars on these guns and he would give him 500.00. Feel free to insult the wares of jerks like this! He made the owner of that gun so mad that nobody was even allowed to look at it again. He just left the show!
