Do people expect too much from shows?

[Akua_Ko_Nalu]

I go to the shows to meet people mainly, If I'm after any animals, I'll usually pre-arrange it with a table holder beforehand, and if anything takes my fancy and is good quality at a fair price, I'd be tempted.

I totally agree with Athravan's original post, there is a big mentality of shows being a bargain basement.

I haven't been to any shows yet but hope to go to some this year.

I'll be looking for specific animals and be expecting prices cheaper than the shops but equal to what I could find online.

I wouldn't mind paying a bit more if there was fantastic range and I was able to pick best of the bunch. Although I'm guessing I'd have to be up pretty early to get in there first for the best animals.

I'd also be looking for contacts to pass on to my boss. To get more interesting/better quality stock in at work.
