Reefapalooza strategy

[Dnledman]

Hey everyone, I am going to try and make the trip over to NJ for reefapalooza and wanted to pick peoples brains on their strategy as I am going to try and stick to a budget.

So with the budget in mind I normally would go Saturday morning trying to target specific corals but this time I am debating going later on Sunday with the hopes of getting a better deal on something random.

Has anyone had success with that strategy, finding a fire coral at the end of the conference or is everything pretty well picked over by that time and you might get a deal but on something that I might already have?

In my experience you will get better deals, but bottom of the barrel along with stressed corals.

See that is an angle I did not consider, the stress on the corals. Looks like Saturday with a strict budget is the choice.

this is what i did last year, although i gotta say its kinda tough sticking to a budget so i suggest only bringing cash and leaving your card in the car.

Stressed corals is not a major issue that I’ve noticed. Maybe from 1 or 2 vendors at each show and you’ll notice it by cloudy water or corals not opened.

I think this happens with vendors that rush their stands or arent adequately prepared for the shows, as they setup a day or two in advance and give the corals a chance to relax.

games simulate gambling https://bacanaplaycasino.net/ but don’t always involve real money.

Yeah, hitting it late Sunday can definitely score you some sweet deals since vendors don’t want to haul livestock back—but yeah, the super rare stuff is usually long gone. Still, if you're flexible and just looking for something cool rather than a specific piece, it can be totally worth it.

Wonder if any vendor ever sells vouchers for stuff they didn't bring.
