Best place to shop for bargains right now is GunBroker.com. Look for the auctions listed as "No Reserve." An N/R auction sells for the highest bid no matter what, even if the item sells for a penny (which I have seen happen).
Gun-shows are not usually a good deal in my experience, unless you find -just- the right person. A lot of gun-show sellers (FFL and Private) have a very bad case of "Book On The Brain" and will get extremely upset if you suggest that their shot-out Llama .45 might be worth slightly less than the $700.00 (or equally insane figure) they're convinced it'll sell for. They see the "100% Condition New/Retail" price in the Blue Book, immediately decide that since their gun still fires and still has one grip-panel that it -is- 100%, and get very angry when informed otherwise. Check the shows out, because you never know, but don't bet on finding any deals.
