How do you prepare for a record show?

I have one coming in my area within a week.

I gone through many shows. At first I just attended. Later, I had some sort of idea as to what I wanted. Later again, I had become more aware of what might be accomplished by having a strategy.

So, given my enlightened history, and taking into consideration your thoughts, how do you currently approach an upcoming show?

One thing I do is limit my spending by having a certain amount brought with me.

I do think that now, I need to narrow things down to original pressings from the UK and the like... mono vs stereo..?
I make a short list of interesting items and, "stick to it".

Any other thought?

I've got lots of preparations before the record show:
1st I make sure my records are all marketable and clean
2nd I make sure I meet crowd demands and on top bring something cool and different from other record dealers
3rd I sort my records by either genre or alphabetical order or both. I'd usually have separate box for popular artists
4th I take enough cash change of singles and fives, but mostly my records are priced by multiple of $5. If I plan not to bring budget "floor" boxes, than I will only have change with 5 and 10$ bills. Therefore the name is "Take 5"
:-)
6: I'm not going to be in Clemmons, but will hopefully see NC audiogoners at Carrboro NC on April 3rd. So come and visit me and other dealers joining the show.

It's important to examine which one came first?

Same importance as chicken vs. egg.
