Mike,

"Gun Shows" were originally conceived to do just that, show guns. Collectors gathered to display their collections, and trade. They have evolved into "gun sales".

I remember when you very rarely saw a "dealer" at a gun show. In fact most dealers wouldn't even attend gun shows because it was too hard to sell for a profit.

Eventually the dealers slipped in and took over the shows. Then prices began to climb and are still climbing.
