Going to be a great event. So looking forward to it.

Here's a couple of teaser photos Reef Culture sent me for a taste of what they will be bringing.

This Saturday check out the MACNA2014 booth. If you are interested in that show as well, there will be a raffle to get some tickets for that show in Denver, Colorado.

Cash? Card? First Born?

Cash? Card? First Born?

For anyone who might know, will debit/credit cards be accepted, or is it cash only? Will it vary by vendor?

Thanks!

It will vary by the vendor. Most of them carry the Square card swiper attachment these days. But I would advise bringing some cash if you can.

The 90* weather seems to be going away just in time for this. Should be able to go in buy some corals, put them in your car, go back in and spend more money.

Haha! you know my kids too well Jason!! It's why I love them so much! They love corals just as much as I do. The 11 year old had a leopard wrasse on her birthday list last month!!

Yep. But you still might want to bring a cooler to put them in.

Well they will be in a candy store this weekend. As will all of us.

Is it proper etiquette to haggle at these events or are prices paid generally the marked/listed price?

Well I guess that is more based on someones opinion. Usually with two day events people tend to haggle at the end of the last day. This is only one day so not much time for it. And it's hard to say what the seller to attendee ratio will be.

Ok, sounds like it would be acceptable to ask for a deal if you are buying multiple frags, but if there is competition from lots of shoppers then probably looking at listed price. I'm sure there will be some great deals regardless, was just curious. Thanks

Did a lot of venders drop out it looks smaller for some reason ?

Yeah that's what I was thinking.

Yes, but it should be a good show still. It's just tough to convince vendors how it's going to go down when we have never had this before. Got to start somewhere.

Doh, I was not even thinking about the cooler. Thanks for looking out Jason.

Now I am picturing everyone walking around with coolers yet no one pulling their lunch or drinks out of them lol.

Everything is usually overpriced, so it's ok to negotiate.
