November 14th--Fish Auction in Calgary!!

[Toirtis]

We may see 600+ lots yet

That would be fantastic!!! I have filled my 20 lots, but will let Mike know that I need 25, incase I find more crud that needs to go.

As a member, you automatically have 50 lots....just keep numbering after your vendor number (i.e. 00-01, 00-02, 00-03....all the way up to 00-50), and give Mike a list of the lots and descriptions Sunday morning.

 

[Toirtis]

How many lots were at the TFBA ?

Apparently 440-450, so this auction should be significantly bigger.

 

[Menagerie]

I'm all cleared with Mike

 

[Toirtis]

Heh...I told Mike that I figured I would have 10-15 lots, and I am bringing 30-35.

[webmoose]

a pen a piece of paper and a bag to carry home all my plants..

next year I will bring something to sell if i have something.. :O)

 

[Toirtis]

Pen and paper is good advice....it really helps to be able to note down lot numbers, descriptions, and notes as to what you are willing to bid on each for yourself before the auction starts.

Bringing a cooler is also a good idea...gotta put those plants and fishies somewhere!

 

[webmoose]

[Menagerie]

Mooose--12 hours to go!! I hope you are holding up well

 

[Toirtis]

Just over 11 hours till auctioning starts, but only 9 hours until we open the hall...and I should have been in bed 3 hours ago...

 

[Menagerie]

The auction was fun!! Only aroudn 350 lots, but that kept us more than busy from 11 to 4pm. Luckily I made more money than I spent!!!

 

[Toirtis]

It was an adventure all right....I cannot believe how exhausted I am.

 

[webmoose]

You both did a great job.

One of the runners gave away one my winning bids.... haha

just got home. had to go fight the crowds to pick up a raincheck xmas gift in the deep south.

Off to plant the tank up

Oh no!!! I tried to make it very clear who won and point them out. I hope it wasn't anything too great.
Time to upgrade your sig moose

 

[Toirtis]

It was a great auction and everyone did really well.....even Meghan at her first experience auctioneering.

I am just glad that I brought 35 lots, and came home with a single plant...has to be a record for me.

Still trying to figure out what you had written on the tank I got and then scratched out Toirtis.

For some reason right after the first table I figured you were Lot #8....

All the plants I got were from Lot 25..

If the one guy hadn't been there I think plant would have gone for cheaper.. He wouldn't let plants go for any less than 7 dollars.. And he bought a ton of stuff.

Sig updated..

I was going to put that 10g fluorescent canopy on that tank, then decided to make them seperate lots to increase the overall number of lots that I brought.

 

[webmoose]

oh I am so glad you didn't.. I was the only one that cared that it was black silicone so it went for less than some of the other 10 gallon tanks.. With the canopy I think I would gotten out bid..

Plus glass tops are cheap
