Repticon Oklahoma City

[Camren Mckitrick]

Has anyone ever been to Repticon? I am debating if I should go. I live in Kansas and I'm curious if the money and trip are worth it. Is there enough tarantula breeders usually there to make it worth it? Also are the prices decent? Any information will help!

Probably depends on what you're looking for. If you have very specific wants and you're ready to purchase, I would suggest looking at the vendor list to see if there is a good chance you'd be able to pick up what you want. When I go to shows I have a list of wants, some of which I see but often times I walk out empty handed.

You can negotiate at shows, most sellers don't want to take anything home if at all possible so being there and making a face-to-face offer is a lot stronger than an online email. That being said, you should have a good idea of a "fair" price for something and a "great" price for something. Cash is always king as well.
