Your minimum for shows should be the same as your minimums for non-shows orders, no?

The way I see it you could either,

1) Use your usual minimum
2) Have no minimum, trusting that those with the credentials to get into the show are legitimate buyers and you're just happy to have an in
3) Have a higher than usual minimum with lower than usual prices because you're focusing on larger than usual orders and willing to trim margins for the sake of a (guaranteed) larger gross profit
