rct - some power shopping tactics that might work for you - if you are
more interested in selection than price, go early, especially Friday.
During the weekend seminars and demos, the booths are usually a tad
less crowded if you want some one-on-one with a vendor.

If price is your biggest consideration, stay late on Sunday, just
before folks start packing up. If the day is light, because of snow
or whatever, this may be as early as noon. Keep in mind that the
vendors, especially the ones from far away and the ones who are not
going on directly to the next show, don't want to cart a bunch of
stuff home. So they may be willing to give you a better show price,
especially if you show interest in getting more than one item with
them.
