Buying eyepieces at Televue/NEAF

I am planning on going to NEAF. I hope to pick up 1 or 2 Televue blemished eyepieces at the Televue booth.
Any advice out there?
How early should I go?
Do they run out really quickly?
I just basically want a 35 Pan and a 7, 9 or 12 Nagler. Do they have a wide selection?
About how much are they discounted from retail?
Do they take checks? Credit? cash only?
Do they have a limit on number of eyepieces per person?
Thanks,
Ken

A few TeleVue "NEAF eyepiece" factoids.

1) Bring cash, money, lettuce, dinero... as it is the ONLY thing that is accepted! No checks, credit cards or IOUs!!!

I didn't notice an ATM at the facility, so you'll have to leave the venue if you need to get cash. Avoid the extra trip into town, avoid waiting in line and NOT being able to make the purchase, avoid being disappointed when the item has sold out by bringing the money with you. Capisce?

2) While arguably cosmetic blems allow the lower pricing, other than the "punch mark" on the TeleVue logo (denoting it as a NEAF eyepiece), most will be hard-pressed to find any fault in these oculars. If you like the normal TV line, you will LOVE the bargain-priced available here!

3) Quantities vary and are limited in number, with sales on a FIRST come FIRST served basis. All items ares sold AS IS... no returns!

4) Sales Policy

Until Saturday at 3PM: Up to a total of 5 eyepieces, with 2 eyepieces per focal length for 2" EPs (no limits on Powermates or Barlows)

Saturday after 3PM thru Sunday: The quanitity limit will be lifted for those purchasing EPs for friends who could not attend.

5) NO DEALER PURCHASES!!!

6) Refer to number 1... BRING CASH!!!
