$12.

I will be there and checking lots in by about 6:30, so any time after that.  After 7:30 will be chaos. Better to be a bit early, people

Hey people.

 

What time does this event usually finish up?

[Michael the fish fanatic]

I'm guessing this one will be till 1am

[malawiman85]

Hey,

Can someone pick up a bag of endlers from the auction and babysit them for me till tomorrow?
Johnno sent them down for me to pick up but I cant get there tonight.

Would be very much appreciated.

Michael the last one was till 1am

[Riggers]

Was a great turnout! I just popped in to say g'day but the lots were stacking up!! Id say by now it's all go!!

[Dr Cucumber]

I stayed until 9:40pm. Hald time. 100 lots down; 109 to go. Some great fish. Shame I dont have room.

[Michael the fish fanatic]

What a great auction guys, I scored the most expensive lot of the night. 2x L007. Woohooo
Ps. If anyone wants to buy mini fissidens, I have 2 golf ball sizes for $50 each

Well done to the committee on a fantastic and a well organised auction. Considering the amount of lots you guys had you did well at finishing at a decent time.

[Androo]

My apologies to all the people that missed out of a can of drink, numbers were high and people only wanted cans, Ill make sure the next auction is better stocked

[Shane-o88]

Good night once again guys. Kleinz I don't know what was in that bottle but it sure as hell saved that catfish life, there's no way that would of made it home without a little fresh water and ol mate oxygenating it the whole way home. Thanks.

Great night was awesome to get down and see a few people and finally meet a few that I've been chatting to on here for awhile! Like this crazy dude just above lol btw to those who might have thought my lots travelled down in bags I only bagged my fish at 7pm because they were in foam boxes with airstones during the trip and that and to be honest I wanna give a massive shout out to aquatic dreams for what he is doing to bring back some of these species that have almost disappeared from Perth! Legend! I know you probably hoped they would sell for more but I am gonna make it my goal to a future breeding project for these Malawi trout thanks mate! <br /><br /><br /> PowPow

[Kleinz]

That bottle was full of special magic, Shane.... I put it in there myself!

 

 

Right. That was a big big night. I think I can say with some confidence that any future auction held on a weeknight will have a smaller number of lots and an earlier finish time. Still, you never know how many you can fit in until you try...

 

I think that was a pretty well-oiled machine!

 

Thanks to all the sellers and bidders. A lot of fish, plants and other stuff changed hands, and the club got to make its 10% on it all. Just like the mafia!

[TheTexasCichlidMasacre]

Minus the horse heads in the bed right ??? Lol<br /><br /><br /> PowPow

[Festea Guy]

My first auction and I loved it didn't bid on anything as I had to pick my boy up and couldn't stick around for checkout but we left around 10:30 made it to lot 150, missus loved it also so looks like the auctions are on our calendar every month now will also be sure to join before the next one to great night a lot of great lots well done guys and cheers

Thanks Tex, TBH mate Ive never really cared about the $$ side of things as long as there is enough to pay the bills, Im happy.
If people are able to score a bargain, then its all good for the hobby.
Enjoy those Trouts! They are an amazing species & have great characters!
Share it around I reckon.

I have them bud, But Ive had to put them in with my Tangs, I cant guarantee their safety....
How many did you get?

 

 

 

 

 

I would like to thank the committee for all their efforts & hard work. IMO I think we should try the weekend auctions again and start them early afternoon.

On a side note,

I brought up last night about the bag that wasn't done up properly. I apologise if I made the person feel embarrassed that was not my intention. I do get ratherly passionate about the fish and want the absolute best for them.
I was told the bag was done correctly before the auction and must've gone down a little during the night, which is quite possible. I don't doubt the person who's bag it was as they are quite competent at fish keeping.
Anyway, Moving on....
 

Thanks to all the people who came along and made it a great night.!
