That last part may or may not happen, but my accumulation has grown to the point where an extra table is welcome...In addition the two extra display cases I ordered two months ago came in last week so I can put about 70 guns under glass, and with the five-finger discounters running rampant lately that's a bit more secure...
My buddy thinks I'm trying to take on too much for a 74 year old guy in questionable health, but I told him it's something to do while I'm waiting for old age...And I may be a little different from most gun show vendors in that I don't really care if I sell a gun or not, I get my fun from making a deal that's pleasing to both and I get to improve my assortment of goodies at the same time...

BTW, I'm not sure if I mentioned this or not---but my current 5 year contract will end in October. I recently agreed to a two year extension---til age 79
