Gun and knife show

Has anyone found any vintage shave gear at a gun and knife show? I'm thinking that there might be some straight razors here and there. And if there's some straights, there might be some other shave gear.

thanks

Last show I attended, there were two sellers with straight razors. One had junk for $50 a piece, the other had a nice selection, including a 7/8 W&B for $100, but it had a chip in the blade. His prices were not to far out of line. I have never seen DE razors at a gun show.
 
There are vintage razors for sale at the Santa Ana gun show but prices are 2x what you can get them for on the Bay.
 
I think the straights at these shows are just sold as curiosities or display pieces. It seems any semi-knowledgable user or collector would not want them, certainly not at the offered prices. I bought a new straight in college just because I thought it was cool. I never intended to shave with it. Good thing I didn't, if I could afford it in college I'm sure it was junk!
