Debating Kalamazoo and Columbus or......

[joek]

turning what did not sell at Findlay into FleaBay Fodder  think my Crosman 101's and 104 are going on the 'Bay

To me from my last experiences is I would do Columbus or Kalamazoo.  Columbus has turned quickly into a first rate show with a lot of traffic given the bigger city.  The last time I did Kalamazoo precovid there were lots of vendors but customer traffic was extremely low.  I’m not sure I will go back there but Columbus is a must.

Since I had a blast at Findlay, I've already reserved a table for Columbus. I'll probably do Kalamazoo as well.

I have a few things I'd like to put on eBay, but they have raised their cut and you have to use their payment system. So I'm done with them.

I agree Ebay takes too much and then you have the hassle of shipping.  A airgun show you can sell and have a great time.  Awesome alternative.  I find that I am trying to put more reasonable prices at the Show so I can move on and not have to face online sales.  Columbus or bust!  Bring that Sterling back if you didn’t sell it I may have a moment of weakness. Lol

I already have tables reserved for both shows.  WE all need to keep spreading the word about our airgun shows.  I had a blast at the Findlay show!!  See you at Columbus and Kalamazoo and the Baldwinsville NY airgun show.

I'll be at the Kalamazoo show myself.

Just helping spread the word about our air gun shows. What a joyful time Saturday! Sat beside Scott (Hoosier Daddy) and Steve (Flint 45). Absolutely marvelous gentlemen! The enlarged exhibition space was great and offers room to grow in the future. Hats off to Dan and Angie Lerma as show promoters and to their staff for making things run smoothly. Thanks to all the exhibitors who are willing to travel the untold miles to make these shows the marketplace/ museum/ information exchange medium they provide to those in attendance. Salute!!

If you find an alternative to E bay post it, your right the fees are getting insane. LOL

I use Gunbroker when I can, their fees make, sense but the airgun following is not as great as Ebay.

Scott is a hoot. It was nice meeting you. It's great to make local connections.

The guy going around telling people about Columbus show during Findlay said it was more of a weekend event? He mentioned many vendors tend to go shoot after the show Saturday and that there is a Field target shoot Sunday?

I'd be tempted to go if some y'all planned to make it more of a hangout weekend.

[Insanity]

He told me the same thing I would only be able to go on a saturday.

Kalamazoo is not sold out!!  Dennis was at Findlay and I reserved  my tables.  Give him a call

Never did the shoot cause I am pretty worn out after the show.  You have to realize that there will be a lot of evil PCP’s there with their hideous tanks etc.  I thought it might be more than I could bear?   

To me it would be fun to organize a vintage shoot!  He told me we could do that if enough people are interest?

[joek]

called Baker Airguns the Kalamazoo site is working now, bought a table

[CaptJ]

I certainly am interested! Maybe we can introduce some dark side people to their gun's fathers and grandfathers (or just what their Dads had as kids).

Are you thinking Saturday evening or maybe a vintage class for the field target on Sunday? I actually know very little about field target but get the impression it is mostly super specialized stuff like 10m these days? A vintage, guestimate holdover, limited optics class could be interesting and fun if allowed.

A Vintagers shoot would be fun! How vintage though?

Typically a vintage shoot in England would be prewar rifles.  That’s where I would be coming from but open to other ideas given that may be too restrictive here in the US?  To me it shouldn’t be that serious just have fun and we could try each other guns ones we may never have seen in action.
