Who's going to RAP this weekend?

I'll be there on Saturday and Sunday! Very convenient for me as I only live about 10-15 minutes away in Tustin.

 

How are prices usually at rap?

 

I'm going for the first time, but I asked the same question in a different forum. They say it goes like this..

Early Saturday - Lots of high end stuff, high prices, but you can find good deals.

Saturday afternoon - Prices get better

Sunday morning - Big time bargains.

Sunday afternoon to close - Paying pennies to the dollars. Vendors need to get stuff out and you can find super bargains.

What DodgerDave said. But, I didn't notice any bargain prices on Saturday when I was there last year. The variety is super nice though. You can pretty much find whatever you are looking for there.

Do people bargain there? Or are there prices firm?

I didn't go on Sunday. But even on Saturday I was able to get some deals if I bought more than one thing.

It is a bargaining atmosphere. Venders will usually write estimated price ranges and have the corals in sections, but prices are flexible if you are persistent.

 

I will be there Sunday!

I am going on Saturday. Flying down in the morning and returning that evening.

 

It will be my first aquarium show. Was not planning on buying anything but maybe if there are good deals.

Who knows? Anyone had experience with carry on frags and TSA?!

Well, there wasn't anything else you could really do. They should have had a better light setup, obviously. Sorry that happened to you (and them).

It was a good show. I ended up picking up an ATO, teal and orange acans, miracle mud, and a bunch of different mushrooms. Almost bought a scolymia and some flower nems, but I had to hold to a budget.

 

I didn't bring the CC or it would have been done.
