Just have whatever it is you are selling out where it can be seen and people will ask you if you are selling.
I have bought more guns from people walking around gun shows than I ever have from vendors.

Some people actually stick signs to their backs or on the barrel of their guns saying what is for sale.

If you make a sign, keep to the specs of the piece.
I ignore any sign with out specifics or grazers wandering around holding a gun over their shoulder with out a sign.

Saw a guy down here in Tucson with a back pack looked heavy. No sign no indication of what he had. Some one asked him a question right there he took off the pack and started digging. Security came and eventually escorted him outside. Blocking the fire lane.

I used to see a guy at the Phoenix gun shows with a hand truck, the would bungee cord his guns to the hand truck and even had a 'we accept credit cards' sign. As he sold stuff, he used to go back to his vehicle and restock.

Used private sale guns at the show are $50-hundreds higher than a brand new gun
