We've got at least three show promoters that regularly schedule events in North Carolina.
The largest (at all of our regional venues) draws in the black rifle; pink knife; bad boy crowd. That's the show where the occasional gem shows up, sometimes undervalued.
The moderate size show has a good number of vendors of antique; military and new guns. Their management is more selective, and there is less of the other fluff. This is the show that got me started with Lugers... A nice clean alphabet commercial from 1924.
The smallest show is always like deja-vu all over again. Same vendors, same merchandise. Oddly, that's the show where I have gotten some of the best values.
I volunteer staff the booth for our local state RKBA lobby organization. It sure keeps the shows interesting...
