Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

What time do you turn up in shows?
Do you find that the "early bird gets the worm" or do you prefer to come to a show later in the day to find better bargains, etc.?
What have you found works best for you?

Wanda,
We went to the show in Columbia SC two years ago, and in this case I feel the early bird gets the worm. The doors opened at 10:00 am and at 10:15 I had bought the only Albino Boa and a het Boa for a real good price.

Wow! Great deal...
How many of you find that in coming late you are best able to negotiate and bargain?
I was always curious about breeders holding on to a pricey animal to bargain throughout the day...

We try to show up first thing to get our picks, but then we return right around closing time to do the bargain hunting.
More often than not, venders will just stand there saying "make me an offer".

Get the "must haves" first thing in the morning and the the others you might be interested in at the end of the show when you can bargain.
A lot of times you can get very good deals at the end of the show especially if it is a 2 day one and vendors don't want to pack up a lot of items at the end of the second day.

I agree
If it's an "absolutely, must have herp" that you're looking for....be there right when the doors open and BUY it....because, it WILL be gone in the first 20 minutes or so. But if you're just browsing and don't have your eye on any particular animal, then hang around till the the last hour of the show.....that's when a lot of breeders will bargain.
