Why do I like gun shows so much... and most of the good ones are so far away.
I haven't yet been to a WAC show. Are newbies still able to buy a membership at the door?

There are a few retro AR parts I'm seeking and not wanting to pay online prices.

You only need to be a member if you're purchasing a firearm, otherwise you can just pay the entrance fee (usually $6 at Monroe show, never been to the Puyallup show so YMMV). The price may have gone up, I haven't gone to a show for a long time.

IIRC, admission at Monroe was 10 or 12 for non-members when we went a few weeks ago.

I heard 12 dollars on the radio a few minutes ago.

Table after table after table consisted of nothing but AR 15 kits ordered off the internet to either be resold at a higher price or simply parted out at a higher price.
I can buy anything and everything I want off the internet for less and most of the time with free shipping. Not to mention no tax.
This is going the same way the swap meets for Harley went ten years ago.
People decided it's easier and cheaper to buy/sell using the internet.
There are or haven't been any m/c swap meets for ever... dead.

I agree, but you're missing the point of the gun show. The used gun selection is the reason to go. I go regularly and buy sell trade guns because you'll find guns at the show that you can't find elsewhere. Plus the seller is right there in front of you to negotiate with. You negotiate a fair price, or walk. Best selection of used guns you'll find under 1 roof anywhere.

This is true, I was focusing on the AR's when I posted.
I do look at the used stuff... heavily. Some of those prices are... uh... out of line, though.
