What did you score?

What were you envy of?

What did you miss out on?

Anything and everything! kgo

[Mattymak]

I got both lots of multifaciatus shell dwellers

& 2 nice bits of holey limestone for $15

[Androo]

I got nothing..... Except the joy of prancing around for all the bidders, and wet from jims leaking plants..... I got home at 2am, great night but tired this morning

[Sarrixx]

Was only there for the Lethrinops Red Cap, and happy to say thats what I walked away with!

The driftwood was going for cheap as this auction! I remember at the one before, the pieces seemed to be going for quite a bit compared to this time around!

[jjm66smokey]

Tired too ... but ....

... my partner and I went home with some cool red endlers, a couple of HOB filters and various equipment to encourage us to get more tanks up and running, and some awesome plants (Subwassertang and Riccia) for her nanotanks

... plus the satisfaction of seeing some gorgeous fish getting sold at prices which would appeal to any buyer and still leave (most) sellers reasonably happy

... and happy to see some of our driftwood, vallis and limestone go to worthy homes rather than cluttering up our tanks / ponds / yard!

A great night!

(Yummy beef rolls, thanks Az)

(sorry 'bout the leaky bags, Androo... will go to our LFS and get some new ones and buy some more lackey bands before the next auction)

[CloeyyMegan]

does anyone know when and if there will be another auction?

I'm so gutted I couldn't make it!!

you all sound like you had an awesome night!!

bummer I would have loved some nice driftwood haha!

 leaky bags are no fun!

[Fox]

Scored some more Mbuna always happy with them.

Some of the fish were a bit small, should really be a good 3cm.
It's not fair on the fish, stresses them a bit

Jim!!!!!!
I was cursing at you all night hahaha


Reminder for all that put lots in at the auction.
DONT over pack bags with fish.
Plants DONT need water, they will be fine without it for the time at the auction.

Cloeyymegan,
There is 3 auctions a year, I believe the next one is around December.


Thanks again everyone involved.

Think it's November actually. December auctions tend to be a bit poorly attended.

[brenno71]
