My local dealers often have more guns for sale in the store than are offered in the whole of a typical gun show. Most are new and offered at favorable prices. That is especially true when I'm a regular, cash paying customer. My FFLs keep a watch for special firearms that they know are of interest to me. I agree that the "shows" look more like weekend swap meets full of crap. The last SLC show I botherd to patronize was easily 1/3 swap meet crap. That's a poor return on a 400 mile round trip and $20 entrance fee. I "rescued" the trip by using a 40% off coupon at Borders and enjoyed a nice Brazilian BBQ dinner. The nearest Borders is 110 miles away from my house as well.
