[QUOTE=sheepherder;253316]Like someone displaying a collection but the items are not for sale. /QUOTE]
Ah, yes, I recall one such table, basically with half a dozen pistols under glass, all marked not for sale. (I can't for the life of me remember what they were, but the selection was diverse IIRC.) Closest to that were skimpily laden tables with old guys and maybe their wives...looked like they were more showing their collections than hawking merchandise. But, as you suspect, they were a distinct minority.
