Fair question, I generally think not that many locals are on this board. That being said, I always encourage local reefkeepers (Ontario and Toronto) to join canreef whenever possible as I feel it is a good community, so of course locals can bid.

My intent is for this auction is to be for all canreef members, perhaps all canreef members that have been on the board since at least December 1, 2008 (don't want people to think anything funny is up!).

FYI, the starting price, and any subsequent bids will include shipping anywhere in Canada. There will be no shipping discount on the final price if you live in Ontario despite the fact that shipping charges may be less than shipping to ship to BC, AB, SK etc. Hope this seems reasonable.

I like the idea or including shipping with the bid, as we know shipping to the west is a nice little penny in itself.

Ya no kidding - just shipping can cost me as much as $80 for my standard shipping container, not to mention the cost of the best container I can buy and a heat pack or two. Can be looking at almost $100 just in shipping and materials...

So when are we going to get this show on the road?

Hopefully tonight, but likely tomorrow. Just need to take a couple pics and then get it posted.
