Personally when it comes to shows I go there both days and if there's something I just have to have in my collection I get it on the first day (although I do wait until I've made a complete loop around the place so I can see what everyone has and I just go back to the table for my must haves. I also keep in mind animals I'd like to have in my collection but I'd like a bit better price and you just have to decide what is more important, waiting to get a better price, or having that animal in your collection. There are some I choose having the animal and I pay what they're asking, then there are others that I'd like but I decide to wait till the end of the show. Sometimes they're gone, sometimes they're not. It's a risk you take but it can be well worth it, I've gotten great deals on snakes before that I didn't think I'd be able to get because they were out of my price range but in that last hour of the show it's dropped into my price range.
