I can't wait for the swap to be here. My buddy, Jason Fox, is planning on bringing a large selection of some of his nicest stuff. He has been fragging stuff like crazy over the past couple of weeks getting ready for event. See you at the swap.

Stats from the trenches...

Stats from the trenches...

Just a few stats from the site:

NCPARS/TFP 2010 Swap:
Pre-Registered Attendants: 218 (196 Adults/22 Children)
Pre-Arranged Trades: 452

NCPARS/TFP 2009 Swap (last January):
Pre-Registered Attendants: 217
Pre-Arranged Trades: 429

So with 2 weeks still to go we have already passed last year's pre-swap activity.

I hope you're ready Dave.

Swapper Stats:
Most Items Listed (by listing name only, not by QTY): ChrisH (65)
Most Items Sold/Traded: knockout (84)
Most Items Bought/Traded: chris_mcpherson (24) -- I'm only in 6th place this time

There are 124 items "Sold Out" on the site, but there are 382 items still available with 21 brand new items listed in the last 48 hours!



For those that have pre-arranged with me I sent you an email but in case you didn't get it please note that I will not be at the swap until 2pm or so. Don't panic if you can't find me...I WILL be there...I just have an A.M. commitment I need to fulfill first. I won't be setting up a table either since I decided to only sell a few items pre-trade so you'll have to find me personally if I don't find you first!

This is going to be my first swap so if this is a stupid question please forgive me Other than an insulated container of some sort to transport purchased items back to state college, will I need bags or containers to put the frags in when I buy them? Again, sorry if this is a dumb question.

Bring a few heat packs if you plan on staying the entire time. With the ride back it will help...

 

[Fizz71]

All frags will be packed in either bags or plastic cups with lids--it's kind of the expected standard. Bring a LARGE cooler, there will be a lot of stuff there to buy.

I usually pack a chemical hand warmer heat pack or two as well. I duct tape it to the inside of the lid.

Bring a lot of cash too...nobody really takes VISA except TFP.

I just got word Jason Fox from Jason Fox Signature Corals will be attending with some of his wicked LE Chalices along with other goodies and S M Cooler also confirmed he was coming with a couple hundred frags of his stuff.This swap is starting to feel like a mini macna.There will be no shortage of corals,thats for sure

TFP does have a ATM (atleast they used too) but it is usually emptied out pretty quick. Bring lots of cash.

AWESOME DEALS!!!!

is the swap room going to be the same as last year...???? I think this place is going to be mobbed

 

[Ricunger]

Yeah this should be interesting!!! Ill be doing my shopping first then some trading!

 

[TFP Marine Biologist]

The swap area will be in the same place as last year, however all of the manufacturer reps will be out in the retail store, and we will have a smaller area setup for seminars, there will be more room than there was last year for the swappers.

 

[Fizz71]

Crap. Now I need to bring more money for salt and food.
