I'll make it there Friday night and be on the floor Saturday morning. Looking forward to see what the new location looks like.

it's gotta be better than Bally's!! but hopefully more reasonable prices this time!

Some dealers could sell guns cheaply nowadays,,, I guess that's because they have a cash flow issue.

Back a few days ago, I just wake up from a nap, the phone ringed. Caller was from RIAC, asking whether I wanted to consign items.... I did think consign a few duplicate items half a year back, but situation changed a little bit since then, so I am not in hurry any more.

The caller said they got a consignment from a big name collector... I forgot the name.... The collection is big which will be sold via a few sessions in 2016. That sounds like a Sturgess level collection... The consignor has not showed the collection publicly, so there could be surprise there. This news is like wild fire spreading in a few collector circles.

What collection is this? Sounds like there is something big and serious coming.

... i got lucky & got a peak of some of the things to see tomorrow; the coolest piece that caught my eye was a miniature version of the 1900 Cartridge Counter Luger, for nearly $10K! i'll see if i can snap a pic of it with it's daddy (looks like the real deal) next to it!

I sold 7 pistols in the past 3 weeks, accumulated $9165. Combined with fund raised in 2015, I guess I could play a major one now. But, where is the major one...

I was finally able to find the dealer/individual that was selling the miniature cartridge counter luger!! sorry for the bad quality of the pictures, as i was given permission by him to take picture with the gun inside the case, so there's glare from the ceiling lights & dirt on the glass (& not your eyes)!!!
