Edmonton fish related Garage Sale????
 
I was just wondering what people thought of having a garage sale of all the unused aquarium related stuff.
this would be the perfect oppurtunity to get rid of everything you don't need.
I have so much stuff to get rid of it is scary.
If we advertised it for a couple of weeks in the Bargain finder, we might get a bit of a response.
I might also suggest having frags and livestock you dont' need or want anymore for people to buy as well.
I would be willing to open up the back of my shop/store for people to set up tables and such.
I would be willing to organize getting the license and advertising as I need to clean house and it will help let new people know about my store at the same time.
I am thinking next month for a time frame.
LMK what you think
Neal

Sounds like a good idea, I don't know about the liverstock though, maybe some livestock :lol::razz: Sorry I couldn't resist!

JOEL 03-30-2008 05:34 AM

Sounds like a good idea seeing I have to start filling my new 90 gal tank with some live stock.

J.Lloy 03-30-2008 07:11 AM

That does sound like a great idea, I got a few things that i'm sure I don't need.

chevyjaxon 03-30-2008 10:34 AM

thats an awesome idea best one yet :razz:also a good way to actually get together with the others that post here on the forum, what about having a BBQ set up and running with the sale? i mean with enough people being interested this thing could get really super big real fast i dont have much to get rid of though maybe a couple of 5 gallon tanks and some other freshwater stuff im new to reefkeeping and i have just barely enough marine equipment. freshwater is welcome right?

rocketlily 03-30-2008 12:55 PM

I don't have anything to sell, but I would be there as a buyer. I could pick up a 10 gal QT tank and if there were frags, I would buy some of those too.

Joe Reefer 03-30-2008 03:22 PM

Good idea! I have lots of odds and ends that I dont need anymore.

Matt 03-30-2008 03:27 PM

We're a social bunch! We haven't even started the next reefer's party and we're already planning the next, next one!

Good idea, Neal.

michika 03-30-2008 03:51 PM

If you set it up for the end of April, I'll drive up. I have other business to attend to up there, but getting some fish stuff would be awesome.

SeaShell 03-30-2008 05:02 PM

Yeah! Dependant on the date, count me in! I have a couple of sets of pc lights to get rid of and lot's of smaller stuff, too. And Lord only knows what I'll purchase while I'm there.......

rayfong 03-31-2008 03:29 AM

Yeah, that wouldn't be too bad, I have some stuff that I need to sell off, tanks and canopies and stuff. Hopefully just selling and not buying.

Kryten 03-31-2008 06:30 PM

Yeah, this is a good idea. I'm too lazy to post up all the stuff I have lying around that I'll probably never use again, but having a date set that I could just bring everything to in one go would be good!

Doo 04-07-2008 09:37 PM

This sounds like a fantastic idea, I am very new to SW & would love to meet all of you and ask millions of questions :lol:

I am looking forward to this!!!

jvision 04-08-2008 02:03 AM

I think I'd be in. Got all kinds of fishy junk :)

saltysurfer 04-08-2008 02:32 AM

When do you guys plan on having this garage sale?

baker_jeff 04-08-2008 02:34 AM

I'm in for sure. Anyone have any cheap 48" saltwater appropriate fixtures?

landshark 04-08-2008 05:06 AM

Garage sale
 
Count me in as a buyer.

angelfan 04-09-2008 09:37 PM

excellent idea. count me in, i have lots to sell and would most likely buy some frags

Joe Reefer 04-09-2008 09:41 PM

Looks like we're going to hold off for a while. For those who didn't see, Neal's house caught on fire!!

oh.......hope it wasn't too serious

rocketlily 04-09-2008 09:48 PM

Could we not perhaps turn this garage sale into something that might help Neal out.

Joe Reefer 04-09-2008 10:25 PM

I suppose we could, the thing is we were going to use his shop as the location. Not exactly sure how much room we would need. Anyone have a space they could offer? :smile:

stevehunt668 04-10-2008 04:14 AM

Neal, sorry to hear about your house fire, not too serious I hope. I would be very interested in a garage sale, particularly if we can raise a bit of cash to help Neal out. Count me in as a buyer,

Steve

Count me in as a buyer.

bulletsworld 04-27-2008 01:33 AM

I'm late on catching this thread, but I'd be game for it. Buying and selling stuff. I agree, I have lots of stuff I'm too busy to post, sell and wait for pickup. If its on a weekend or just a day, I could work around that.

Keep me posted.

howdy20012002 04-29-2008 06:27 AM

I still want to do this...I am downsizing, so I wll have lots of stuff.
Might have to be June now though as things are way too crazy right now.
Living in a hotel sucks.
BTW, Although I do truly appreciate the thought about it being a fundraiser, it truly isn't required.
Thankfully I have more than enough insurance.

SEAN DUFFY 06-23-2008 10:25 PM

Ian 06-23-2008 10:55 PM

fencer 06-24-2008 01:24 AM

drydock 07-18-2008 02:51 PM

Let me know...
 
Hey,

I don't exactly have a SW tank yet, but I'll show up and poke around. Maybe even have some cash to spend...

fencer 07-18-2008 03:26 PM

Trying to set it up for Sept

Tigerarmy 07-19-2008 01:50 AM

I'd come from red deer for it.

Bob 09-19-2008 04:33 PM

Sorry to tell you this but you missed it by one week. Maybe there'll be another.
