1. this is a meet and sniff, not a free hand out. You may be able to convince someone to part with some of their stash, you may not. Letting you sniff is not an indication they want to sell or swap.
2. appreciate the fact that you can find out if you like things, sniff before you order, and etc. Its a privilege, don't be rude.
3. swaps are at the agreement of both parties, no one HAS to swap, and no one has to swap for anything they dont want.
4. same for sales: the seller may set their own price, IF they want to sell. Meanwhile the Lab has 24 hour on web ordering so you don't have to accept their sale price if you don't want to.
5. toothpicks and other things are available for testing scents, use ONE toothpick for ONE scent, and do not re dip.. so you don't get your skin chemistry in their bottle...
6. Never, ever, apply, spray, or otherwise contact someone with a scented product without asking. People can be allergic to almost anything, and some folks get migraines from any strong scent.
7. Make sure your fingertips are free of scents, food, or oils before going off and shopping or touching things.
8. Write it down. I know it seems silly, but i bet after the convention is over you wont remember what you tried and what it smelled like on you.
