Looking forward to attending the Dallas Pen show next week to check it out. I am a newbie to these and want to make sure I know what to look for and also not to offend.... So far....

  • Bring cash (to limit the spend and since some vendors will only take cash)
  • Ask about a price before touching any pens.
  • Keep offers private
  • Go early
  • Bring a bag
  • Bring snacks



Anything else.... like what usually moves first, things you can only find at shows worth checking out, etc? Unicorn pens worth hunting down?

Any and all tips welcome!
