    Yup
    Pre-orders are horrible for everyone involved. They never go smooth. We will not be doing a pre-order to bankroll this project.

    Deals can be had with some provocation but know your target product well. Know what you want and what it's worth in your quality range. This will put you at a good advantage for negotiating.

    Gun shows are a great reason to sleep in on Saturday and not leave the house.

    I go because I like guns.
    I'm no bargain hunter with only money and pricing on my mind. Its a show, and I'm entertained by it and its content.
