In defense of the "lady in red", she comes across as a nice human being.

Personally, I've not had much luck browsing the floor though. That's not to say that nobody does, the ball below would have been bought at the shop for $25 from what I understand:

Last year after Redsfest I discussed with the Reds' Director of Business Development what seems to be a shared frustration of many Reds collectors... not being able to get reasonably priced items because basically whatever reseller would get there 1st would always buy everything desirable and reprice it to their liking.

It sadly has been is worth the resellers' time to go in there everyday because whatever is reasonably priced, they can buy it all and seek to themselves profit and make up for all the time and cost of transit.

The resellers regular practice doing this has sadly made it very unlikely for non-resellers to ever get lucky. Are there solutions? Of course...
