Even in the free states most gun shows have ridiculously overpriced stuff. They're good for finding rare or oddball stuff and picking up accessories without having to pay shipping. But if you're looking for any kind of common gun, a gun show is where you'll pay the most for it. Best thing about the guns shows here and when I lived in VA were all the private party sales going on in the parking lot or entrance to the gun show. That's where the deals were. I've walked up to the door with a rifle to sell and had to go back to the car a few more times before I was out of guns to sell and then able to walk around inside the show.
