February Frag Auction

Well if you go by how many people posted that they were planning on attending. Yes it was low. But it was still a decent turn out with new faces. So that's always possitive. It's a fair amount of work to host an event. And for the people selling their frags ,the cutting ,the bagging etc etc it takes time too. I just wonder if it is worth it for everyone that's all.

It is for me personally but I enjoy these events.

Yes, Thanks go to the Reef Network people for putting this on. Lot of work and effort indeed. Because this time around the turn out was low I would hate for it not to happen again in the near future. Its nice to be able to put faces to names and to share our woes and successes and a few laughs.
Cheers

I had a fantastic time. Great to see everyone and meet new people! I got some great deals and as per usual filled my cooler (when this time I really wasn't going to, seriously!!

).

A big thanks to the Reef Network for taking the time to set this up. It was a big undertaking. As well thanks to all the sellers for taking my money!

Thanks for the Reef Network for hosting this. It's a shame that turn out wasn't good.

Where was everyone?

I want to say thanks as well. As somebody fairly new to the hobby it was nice to meet a few of the Canreef folks. It was also great to score some fantastic deals to help fill out the tanks. The low turn out was probably a disappointment for the sellers who most likely did not get as much as they wanted for their frags and all the effort they made to bring them out. It was definitely a buyer's auction. But I hope that doesn't stop the Reef Network from organizing more of these as I am sure that was the exception rather than the norm. I don't keep SPS but if I did I would have been thrilled as there was such a great selection of frags that went for a song.

I would like to thank everyone who came out to today's auction. As always it was a great event. It is always fun to see our great friends that come out to these events. I had a great time and look forward to the next event.

I'm sick and couldn't make it. Said I was a maybe because of that. =(

Wish I could have gone.

Thanks again to the network. I was shocked to see the low turnout. I'm almost disappointed that more did not make the effort. The amount of time and attention the network puts out there to make these events happen was greatly appreciated, especially from us out of towners.

But there loss meant I took more home. So thank you to that. I still feel a bit guilty for the prices I came home with. (Overtime I'll get over it

). I hope that in the fall I will actually come back as a seller with some of my LPS pieces. And since it seems some of the West Coasters do not want to be part of not just a good place to get some well worth pieces, but the overall social experience, I will bring more of the interior hobbyists with me as well.

Thanks again everyone. Awesome stuff I brought back. I must now glue them down before they go missing.
