I'm the other guy. The young one in the purple shirt, and handsome too, so says my mom. The show was pretty average, some nice snakes as always. I got a kick out of the alligator that someone had in the back left corner. Oh, and just to pass the word on for the people here in PA I heard that the NARBC show that was cancelled in Nov. has been rescheduled for January (don't quote me) to space out the shows a little more. Anybody else at the show?

I probably have met you before as well. My name is Andy Federico, I sold there a couple times ,,,,AJF Reptiles.

For some reason that show has a slow nothing sells month... and then the next one everyone seems to be buying...it's crazy. I think people there are mainly buying stuff under a hundred bucks. The high end stuff seldom moves.

Hope to put a face with the name soon. Nice to know you. Happy Holidays to all!!! Andy

....probably talked to everyone once before......

I been doing the show for most of 13 years???.......

.....lots of people I see all the time and I have NOOO idea there name.....

I even tell some of the guys....hey....I don't know your name man..what is it.?.....they laugh and don't tell me...so .I still don't know......

refer to them as long haired guy with turtles.......his buddy with turtles and stuff.....and lots of other ways to tell who I mean to my friends.........LOL

.........

high end.......balls don't sell at all.........poss het ghosts....willing to drop batches at $100 each for 50% and like $250 for 66% ...het albinos.....ghsosts.......not even asking about stuff..........the guy behind me had like 6 different GOOD morphs...and at least 3 other people I know had good morphs....

didn't see a couple people /regulars this time.....they didn't miss nuttin'.......

Man...wasn't at that show, but can tell ya it was the same at the tampa show in october. Lots of lookers, not too many buyers. Even the table I was working, which was strictly collubrids, didn't do nearly as well as usual. Kinda made a nice weekend for me...Pair of irian jaya carpets for $150, 04 poss het axanthic male for $75, 04 poss het clown male for $75, and a male pastel for $500. but like I said, not much moved. Saw a ton of great looking ball morphs...an incredible pied that got a lot of praise but no buyer. Ballroom Pythons South had a bunch of spiders but didn't seem to move much. 1 guy was practically giving away recent imports after the show. Hopefully things pick back up in the next yr or 2 at most.

Did you get the book at the show, or shipped to your house? Since I was lazy and didnt preorder I was hoping to pick one up next weekend at the show here. One of the vendors does nothing but books and back issues of magazines I was hoping he would have some even if I had to pay more. Sorry the show didnt go good for ya. Those were some cheap corns if half of what you made was $1.50. If you have more 3 dollars corns be sure to call me I'll take them all off your hands. LOL.

Thanks, Jay

I did the Orlando Show, November 12th and 13th (first show that I've had my own tables at), I sold,

a pair of pastels 50% het ghost, a female spider, and $2000 worth of baby torts and other misc things that were on my self. Total sales $7120

November 15th I traded a male spider for 1.4 pastels and bought a female albino and male pied.

November 29th, I sold my last pair of pastels 50% het ghost, and a female pied.

November 30th, I sold a male spider

December 3rd, I did the repticon show, (small one day show in Orlando). The show was croweded, only did $250 worth of torts and male balls.

So my total CASH sales for the last 23 days is $16,870....... Gee, I hate such a slow market.

BTW, I also am 90% sure that I've also got a female albino and female pied sold, I should here today.

market suxx.......don't care what you say.....alot of hype......

ever hear the words ......."" they sell lessers for $25000 and I got them on the table for $15000 ,and sell them for $10000 ,,that's what they are worth...there are tons of them out there.....""""anyone paying the full price is an idiot""......

friend of mine heard them words.........yep......

yet..you know how many actual idiots there are in the world??.......

I know....you sold......

luck?....

have to have the right table ,in the right spot, at the right show ,and then have the right people come in the door and find you ....

have fun........

I don't worry......I will sell........I didn't drop prices to sell........I just talked all day to friends and met new ones......and made enough money from corns to be alright....

........you got to understand that Pa has maybe more people breeding and selling here than most other states......and some of the cheapest dumbest people buying snakes.....I mean junk.....they buy food and stupid stuff.......and complain about the conditions at the show and all.......

.......some people even said White Plans sucked last week.....

I really ain't whining.I just wanted to open some thoughts and brains up here.....

I asked if they ate f/t. I would love a het albino female but I would need a major payment plan - like a year! I have so much debt. Blah!

Very nice talking w/ you again, as always. You so nice, and I love my new corn.

Wow, $500...thought they were $600! I know that's cheap, still I can't pay that all at one shot. Maybe if I were single and didn't have a spouse to answer to. haha.

Don't worry...corns will always be #1 in my book.
