Theres some amazing prices on here for some real nice stuff I thought id never afford. Do we have to preorder everything or do we go to the swap and pick? Because it seems like everyone is preordering everything. Will there be enough for the swap?
Do we have to preorder?

One time we estimated that there were over 8,000 frags available for sale at the swap. Not sure how we arrived at that number but lets just say there are a lot of items available.
Another thing about preordering besides the obvious (knowing for sure that what you want will be available to you) is that you can better control your spending.
With so many beautiful animals to be had you can easily spend your rent/mortgage money.LOL
Another thing is that some of the people selling frags are just members, and will not be cutting up their corals, and carrying them to the frag swap not knowing if they will be sold. So if you see something in their threads that you would like to purchase you should go ahead, and pre-order & pay.

You have member sales, which is pretty much preorder on the site and they distribute them from bags in coolers to people that purchased them. Vendors have tables with tanks showing corals for sale that they pay for, whereas members don;t.
There are deals to be had if you go through vendors or members, so you can;t go wrong either way. People usually buy some stuff from members that they really want and then look and pick at the vendors from all the nice stuff that is still not sold after the initial rush =0) Good luck getting to the vendors the first hour of the swap, usually a HUGE crowd at each one looking at coral and keeping the vendors buisy packing everything up.

And don't forget the MR auction/Raffle/ sales table which abounds with great deals.
