Can't make it this year,  but it is one of the finest shows I've ever been to.   My wife thinks I have a screw loose for only wanting to go to Vegas for a gun show!

Never been there, but have several friends who tell me they'd never miss it. Supposed to be a wonderful show with many high end single shots, and other guns. Surprising to me was when they said there are still bargains to be found there. I always thought the guns there would all be at high prices. Some are they say, but still some good buys too.

That's simply good business sense on his part. He's obviously well aware of his market, and which shows bring in buyers who are looking for what he has to sell, and willing to pay more. Or not willing to pay asking price, so by marking them up, he allows them to negotiate a lower price and end up where he wanted to be anyway.
I've had good guns sit on my tables here for months. Then take the same guns to Reno or Denver, and mark them up. Often they sell at asking price, or close to it at a larger show. Doesn't mean they're overpriced, as they wouldn't sell if they were. It simply means I live in an area where the same guns wont bring the going rate.
I've had several big dealers who come to our annual collector show here and tell me they rarely sell a gun. But they bring extra cases to put all the guns they buy here in. They love the show, as it's a high quality show; but they also like buying and selling those guns elsewhere at a profit. That is why they're in the business after all.
