At the NARBC in Arlington, TX a year and a half ago or so, I was there on opening day Saturday when the doors opened with my heart set on a Pewter BP Male for my collection. Walked right up to Brian at BHB and told him what I was looking for. He pulled out 3 or 4 that he had and I picked which one I wanted but "wanted to look around a little" before I made the purchase. He bagged up the snake and put it under his table for about an hour or so while I quickly walked around and made sure I had the one I wanted. Mind you I hadn't given him any money yet. Came back to him and finished the transaction.

I thought pulling the snake like that and removing it from the sale displays was pretty cool of him to do even though I wasn't 100% set yet.

A friend of mine made a trade with a Breeder at a local show this past weekend and the animal was marked NFS with plans to complete the trade a few days later.

I know breeders like 2 things at Expos. 1) to sell animals to pay for the table and to make money. 2) they love cash.

Good way to come out on top at an expo is to find an animal you like and wait until it is nearly closing time on the last day...offer cash and make them an offer they can't refuse. Works exceptionally well too when the expo wasn't very eventful/slow.
