Hey all,
Tomorrow we will be going to our first frag swap here in Michigan.... and we can't wait!! What do people usually bring? Will dealers usually hold sold corals for us until the end? Or do we need to bring a cooler and carry it around with us? Also do people usually accept credit cards?
Thanks,
Danny

Cash is the general currency choice at swaps. A cheap Styrofoam cooler will also be your friend, it will help keep temperatures in your bags fairly stable.

Enjoy it, I'm heading up to the Bob Moore Frag Swap here in Seattle today, looking forwards to it.

Awesome, thanks.... So do people literally carry around a styrofoam cooler the whole time?

Some vendors may hold till the end, though I wouldn't count on it.

Something like this may be easier to carry around at an event, and would serve the same purpose.

Cash is better, and also helps you to keep track of what you've spent.
