February Frag Auction

I had fun...and my thanks to the organizers. I think that room is really great for events, Tom. (too bad it's so far from everywhere, eh?)

I came back with more coral than I brought with me...and left some money behind as well.

As my feedback, I think that the silent auction was very successful and much more efficient than the live auction. The photos are a great idea. (I would suggest smaller photos since we needed more space) Next time, maybe we only need 2 hours. Limit to two frags per type per person. That way, there could be 1 close in 1 hour, then the other close in the 2nd hour.

That's just my feedback for consideration. It was certainly a fun and well run event as is.

Some good points, Brad.

I would also suggest perhaps cycling a sale every half hour or so to keep things moving and fast paced. It was basically sitting around for most of the time and then two minutes of frantic bidding and then repeat.

That room is awesome for this type of event. Special thanks to TomR.

It would be interesting to hear why people decided not to go.

I was with a friend from the forum and we had planned to go but in the end just spent most of our money in the morning at a tank shut down. To be honest we figured it would be super busy. Still figured the deals would be amazing but just never made it.
