Frag Swap; Frag tank setup question

If they get mad at me I never know. At 3 shows the guy next to me bought half my frags. Because he was selling the same thing for more than me. If the other venders get mad I don't see it nor does it bother me. I'm at these shows to help my friend's in this hobby get some nice frags that dont cost an arm and a leg. I've been to 20 frag swaps never one had an issue on my prices. Aside from my neighbors buying me out because I have lower prices than them. I just thing the frag wars at these shows are funny to watch.
 
The charging more thing is that timeless mindset of if someone wants something I have they'll pay what I want to get for it. I look at it like this If I have and you wantvit here's a fair price. No zoa alone is worth 10-20 or even $40pp. Like I've seen online. But I do bit the bullet just to grow this animal in numbers and have frags for less to share.

When you get to do your show be fair it at times pays off. But the best reward for me is knowing I made some folks happy.

Thats cool.

Did he buy them and resell them for a higher price?

Or did he just buy them after the show?
 
Nope bough them and resold them. I brought it up to the group in charge of the meet but nothing was done either of the times.

So you were upset with that.

Why did you sell to him a second and third time then?

Did he promise not to resell them at the Swap and go against his word?
