This video discusses five 'hidden secrets' about modern gun shows, suggesting they are no longer the same as they once were. The core arguments are that gun shows often feature inflated prices due to vendor overhead (booth costs, travel, labor), the decline of private collectors selling personal firearms due to regulations, and that ammunition prices are also marked up. The speaker posits that the same vendors and products appear repeatedly, indicating a lack of new offerings and a failure of gun shows to adapt to a changing market paradigm.
Gun shows in 2025 are expected to feature increased ATF presence due to new regulations, a rise in scams related to war relics and potentially problematic used guns, and a prevalence of non-firearm items. Conversely, attendees are unlikely to find low-priced firearms or ammunition, old/antique guns, or rare 'unicorn' firearms due to the elimination of collectors and the dominance of FFL dealers stocking new inventory.
