Cool idea Jason. Email sent.

Anthony

Sounds great!

Hi Jason

This sounds great.

I am not sure what I have that someone else would be interested in.

You can count me in.

Tom R

Wow, couldn't be closer ...

Sounds like a great idea. I'll plan to be there.

Don't have much to offer myself but love to hunt for cool things, Count me in.

We'll be there... we have some frags and equipment to sell off.. can't wait.

Sounds good! Don't think I have much to sell but like to find new stuff.

doug

Glad to see some interest. It will be great to see everyone again.

If you have stuff to sell I would ask you to e-mail me just so that I can make room and get an idea of what sort of stuff will be coming.

I will have a tank to float frag bags in.

Oh BTW bring lawn chairs for hanging out

J

I'm interested....and I would love to see your setup.

Brad.

Whaaa I wanna come too but for me it really is too far to go - you should have a virtual yard sale/swap for us poor smucks that live too far away he he.

Oh don't you start now LOL

HAHAHA I have been taking lessons from Tony!

I hope there are going to be People that bring stuff to sell. Frags, pumps, heaters, Tanks, Stands, Maybe a power saw

J

I have a horse trailer and a bunch of extra aquarium stuff that I WOULD bring - come on go virtual!!!!!!!

it's not that bad of a Drive. Plus it been awhile since you've been down.

Come on then, load up the trailer.

J

PS I hear you have a well used Red Dragon pump for cheap

Sorry that was low

Scratch me down J, although I have nothing to sell as I got rid of almost everything a few months ago I am looking forward to seeing the new setup running.

Oh and I almost forgot! I will bring out the 3" fish trap that you wanted for your worm John :mrgreen:

I just wish it was well used - it's just very dead! OTOH I have 2 brand new ones on my new skimmer that have not been even fired up yet!

count me in nothing to sell but perhaps to buy

Kyle

I have been thinking about the "No pre-sales" Idea for the swap meet and thought it may inhibit people from bringing certain things to sell. So I would like to open the Thread to Pre-sale stuff as well. Frags, Hardware anything.

Also if you plan on bringing items for sale Frags or Hardware could you please let me know ASAP. There appears to be a hole lot of buyers and not to many sellers :)

Thanks
Jason

What We're Selling.
 

Hi Jason, we're not just going to bring our hardware, we have some livestock to bring too. John and I looked at our frag stash and we have...

1 Snakeskin GSP colony 4 inches x 2 inches
2 Pink Candy Cane Corals - 7 heads each.
2 Green and brown Candy Cane corals - about 3 inches across deflated.
9 Zoo frags, from Boyscout, to Baby Back Blues, to Eagle eye, and Crimsons. Good Assortment.
2 Black Sun Corals - 4 inches
5 Green body with Pink tye Dye Hammer Frags, 3-5 heads each.
1 Green Sinularia Frag 3 inches
1 Green Sinularia Colony with Green Palythoa Colony (5 inches, with around 30 palys)
Green Center with Hints of Orange Acanastrea
Green Oxypora Colony
Chaetomorpha
Pink Chalice Frag
Green Blastomussa Merletti with 12 heads.
5 Pink and Green Frogspawn Frags 3-5 heads.

If you want more heads on Hammer, Frog Spawn, or candy cane, do let us know in advance and we can arrange to bring a frag with more heads.

Do send us a PM if you are interested in any of these pieces so we can make sure to bring it to the event.

We're not going to sell in advance, first come with cash at the event, first served. We'll be posting pictures of the coral ahead of time, and then at the event, we'll show you the picture of it on the internet before you buy.

We haven't decided on prices yet. maybe by tomorrow we will...

Thanks you Two that is a great list. I'm gonna have to get some cash

J

Hi Jason

I can see from Ivy's list that it will be almost impossible for me to be that organized in making a list checking it twice and ensuring that I bring everything on it.

I am looking to bring some corals and some hardware. I will try and put a list together and post it closer to the date.

Have you thought of how the sales will be done. The problem I have had at these events is that while I am tending to the sale of my items things I maybe interested in that others are selling are being sold.

Tom R

No Problem Tom.
I just didn't want people to not bring something because they were unsure of interest. Ya know.

I have 2 tanks and stands to sell. If it wasn't at my house I might not want to try and bring the 2 tanks without gauging interest first. That's all I'm trying to do.

The entire event will be in my Backyard, I'm sure it won't be too big to not get a chance to see other peoples sales

J

Tom, Just step away when you think you want to go look... no one would care if you need to leave for some great deal!

John and I are going to tag team selling our stuff.. so if you want you can sit near us and we can all take turns together.

That sounds great Ivy. Its some of the items you have on your list that caught my interest.

Tom R

Anyone else not signed up who will be coming?

Cmon I know you all have junk or frags kicking around.

bring on your zoos and ricordias! :mrgreen:
