What is it? No description, no info. Not worth looking at without any of that.

Interesting topic. Personally, here is how I tackle a show if I am looking to buy:

1. Figure out a SHORT list of what you want and research the prices on KS and Fauna to figure out an average.
2. The best selection will be early on the first day. Prices may go down at the very end of the show, but the selection will be very picked through.
3. When the show opens I walk systematically through and visit every BP table, skipping ones that do not have BPs. While doing this I compare my list, prices and quality. The best of theses are sometimes not at the biggest breeders table. I got my Jigsaw from a smaller breeder for several hundred less than the other tables.
4. If you are seriously interested in a animal, talk to the breeder and ask to see it.
5. You can make an offer less than the the listed price, but not everyone will take it. Do not be offended if they say no.
6. When I am finished buying the pick of the litters, I enjoy the rest of the show.

Cberg, good on you for posting videos, but I have a couple of suggestions from the viewers perspective (take them for what they are worth):

1. Get a tripod, no one likes shaky video
2. Pick a topic in the vid and stick to it. In this case, I would have shown a map of a show either on paper or online, and maybe how to find a local show.
3. I am personally not a fan of the ads. I can see it for professionally produced stuff, but otherwise they seem overkill.
4. Clean your room
