Auction Roundup

 

The PCS Auction on 7th Feb 17 was well attended with aprox 75 attendees (No I didn’t do a head count – this is purely my guesstimate)

 

Here are some stats for those who like them. A total of 147 lots went under the hammer from an original list of 151. Here is a break up of Lots by number and percentage of total.

* Sub-total of all fish – not part of overall total.

# comprised of all Guppies and 1 pr of Rainbows.

** All items not categorised as above.

 

 

Really great to see the number of donations made to raise money for the Stuart Grant Fund, 32 in total making up almost 22% of the Lots. bigjohnnofish and chen were the next largest contributors of Lots comprising quality fish and plants which were eagerly bid on by those in attendance.

The most expensive individual fish of the night were two lge male Peppermints 13cm which went for $70 and $80 respectively.

 

The most expensive lot was $300 for 10 x Tropheus brichardi "Canary cheek" 3-4cm i.e. $30 per fish which was not an unreasonable price – all the best to the purchaser and hopefully a lot more will come on the market next year?

 

Guppies - Apart from 2 bags of feeder guppies – the quality stock averaged over $8 a fish with the highest being $10 per fish for a bag of 4 x Poecilia reticulata "blue grass" 3-5cm MFFF

 

Shrimp were again popular and apart from ‘ninjas’ all got good prices with a bag of 5 ‘Neocaridina Dennerli sp. baby Sulawesi shrimp 2cm’ going for $80 or $16.00 per shrimp.

 

Cichlid Breakup of the 38 Lots of Cichlids
 

 Cichlids                  Lots          %   

Tanganyikan              8           21.1

 Malawi                    22          57.9  

Victoris                       1           2.6  

Central American       7         18.4        

Total                         38          100

 

Plants – there were 41 Lots which averaged almost $25 per Lot but the stars of the show were two Lots of Crinium Calamistratum which fetched $70 and $80 respectively though there were 14 lots that were snapped up for under $20 each.

 

I post this for the people that were not able to get there – if Admin is not happy with this type of post please delete.

 

Edited to align tables and include Cichlid and plant data.

That's great info mate. Gives people an idea of what to expect - I'm surprised the average fish price is that high so that's great to see
