I decided to go to the Hillsville flea market this year and check out some firearms. It tradtionally started as a small gun show sponsored by the VFW a long time ago. Anyway, there are thousands of small tents/booths selling almost anything conceivable.
I noticed that prices of many goods are going thru the roof. One of the items are old signs, and I credit those prices to the American Pickers show.
Anyway, I saw a guy selling a used Ruger P94, one mag for $375. Now I was actually looking for a Hi-point 995 as a 9mm plinker. I saw one as in another booth mixed in with other rifles/shotguns. It was used and unfortunately(or fortunately) it was in .40.
$500. You have got to be kidding me.
Used Mossberg shotguns going for $400 and up...USED! Single shot H&R rifles for $325 and up.....
All around, the prices seemed 20% higher than any gun show in my area.
At least I got a italian sausage sandwich with peppers and onions....
