The mountain aire promotion show i dont know how i feel about it.
Me and 3 of my friends felt a bit ripped off from a few of the vendors there. 2 of my friends each bought 3 hexmags for 18 each and me and another friend each bought 2 pmags for 25 each. After the show we checked online and from the manufacturer hexmags and pmags are way cheaper then though they need to be shipped.
Guess we need to better educate ourselves before buying or if anything these vendors need to stop jacking up the prices before people catch on
Ronnie,
Are you talking about the show that was held in Pleasanton in 2013?
Mountain Aire did not promote that show. TS did and I do not believe they are still in business.

I was talking about the one in Lodi in the beginning of the month.
Ronnie,
Almost any item that anyone wants to buy can be brought cheaper online. Especially if the manufacturer is willing to sell direct to consumers, which is what you seem to be talking about. Of course with buying items online there are several disadvantages, besides the cost of shipping. First of all you do not get to receive the item immediately and you certainly do not get to handle and inspect the exact item that you will be receiving.
In these times all of us need to be concerned with getting value for our hard earned dollars, However, if there was only online shopping, because none of us shopped with brick and mortar retailers we would soon find that we could never buy anything that we would have the opportunity to inspect first. This being the case I believe that we all need to balance our purchases between online and face to face purchases so that we all have as many choices now and in the future.
As promoters we do not dictate to the vendors their pricing (This would be illegal to do) We do attempt to get as many to the shows as possible so that the attendees have as many options as possible. Although this show in Lodi had twice the space as the last one, it still could not accommodate all the vendors that had interest in being at the show. The Fairgrounds in Lodi serves numberous organitins and local groups. This being the case we cannot just order up the amount of space that we always want. We are hopeful though, that the show will continue to grow and with more and more vendors you and you friends will have more and more choices.
Thanks for coming and hopefully you can make the next show.

Last time they had a gun show at Pleasanton there wasn’t any ammo. Pleasanton wouldn’t allow it. Qill there be ammo this time?

Rob,
Unfortunately, the County has an ordinance that forbids ammo to be on brought onto County property. We are working on having a bulk ammo supplier selling at the show, but it would have to be picked up outside of the fairgrounds. We will have petitions onsite for signatures in hopes that we can attempt to persuade the Board of Supervisors to revisit this issue and change the County’s position on this matter. That way we can have it available onsite. Hopefully, we can all work together to achieve this.

Interesting.
Is there a way to know how many vendors will be there?
I inherited three rifles, one with a scope. After carrying them around for the past 5 years I took them to the Pleasanton Police Station and after inspecting told me their potential value could be up to 1800 for the 3 of them, Of course I changed my mind and took them back and now I’m trying to find the best way to sale them.
Should I consider renting a space for three rifles or walk around with the rifles and try to sell. My step father was a gun collector and passed away about 25 years ago and these three rifles are what’s left.
Please advise best way to sale these rifles.
UG Import does consignment.
Will there be powder & primers available for sale?
There shall be powders
The show was very weak. Same vendors as the Lodi show but with what appeared to be half the stock. Very weak A.R. 15 supply selection. The prices were about a dollar less than if you went to your local gun shop. With a $10 entrance fee and a $10 parking fee you have to buy 20 items just to break even for coming to the show. I hope they step it up next time.
Horrible! No ammo! There was hardly no guns or gun accessories. 1 Booth selling Red Dot pistol sights but you need custom mounting. 1 Booth selling a nice variety of AR accessories but they’re overpriced. Two booths selling really old knives and another Booth selling a small selection of nice pocket knives. It’s more of like a diluted flea market. Save your time and money you almost have to avoid any Alameda County gun shows. It’s sad because it’s a waste of our time and money to go which is good in the state’s favour because they really don’t want us to have gun shows anyway.
Just got back this minute from the worst gun show I’ve ever seen. I go to the gun shows to buy bulk ammo – although I have to say that the prices are getting almost as high as retail.
Anyway, the bat-crap crazy loon liberals on the Alameda County Board of Supervisors have apparently forbidden bringing ammo onto any county property. These stinking gun-grabbers are simply doing every thing they can short of overturning the 2nd amendment to infringe on our rights to keep and bear arms.
This show was ridiculous. Hardly any vendors at all, and the few that actually had handguns were asking crazy prices. I was out of there in 15 minutes, and pissed off. Won’t be back.
Don’t waste your time or your $20 to get in.
Best ever brother! 👍🔫⚖💰⚙🔧💵
Did we go to the same show? Maybe you were at the cat show next door. This show had over priced items and more trinket vendors than gun vendors. Total waste of money and time. You obviously are working there and are trying to boost the ratings.
Major disappointment!!!! It was so bad that I wanted to ask for my money back. $10 for the show and addition $10 for parking. I cannot believe they even charged for a show like this and charged us for parking n top of it.Total waste of time. Seemed to be more of a flea market than any thing else.
There was a lot used overpriced stuff. More used knives than guns. I could not find anyone selling accessories, reloading equipment or ammo.
This was a big waste of time and money.
NO BULK AMMO.
