So "nobody" got any bargins or good trades on Saturday's frag swap!
I had a medical appointment that day and couldn't make it there, but with no positive comments on good deals or trades I guess I didn't miss much.

There's like a 20+ page thread... I was clearing out ultra hammers and frogspawns at $10 a pop at the end of it.

F.H snagged a Cornbred Trash Mummy Eye frag from me at $50. Here's some links for a perspecitve:

So... Yah...

Edit #2: I almost forgot the 24k Heliofungia that was won simply for attending ($150 retail value)...

Edit #3: Not to mention that Ryan and Mike's SPS specials.

Edit #4: Let's just say the end of day "I don't want to go home with stuff" specials would have made even the biggest miser blush :P

mikepclo 03-02-2015 04:21 AM

$50?? I was eyeing that mummy eye all day!!! Looked expensive so I didn't ask!! :(

jhj0112 03-02-2015 05:21 AM

I was looking for canreef members or individuals to post their own thread to say what they got the day of the swap meet, instead of in the original thread where you have to go through all the pages. :biggrin:
I guess I was unclear on how I worded it, MY Bad!!!

rishu_pepper 03-02-2015 05:49 AM

Clear outs? Man, next time I'm coming at the END of the swap! :lol:

I got a smashing deal on a bunch of corals from Albert, and he even agreed to hold it for me at Tyler's for a couple more weeks until my new tank is up. Now THAT'S service! :biggrin:

No doubt!!!! Next time I'll bring the wife and have dinner at the lounge, say around 5pm. Then load up on the sweet end-of-day deals! :lol:

aside from few hiccups that we know will be taken care of b/4 next event by our very appreciated and dedicated organizers I for one was able to pass along few things that I had an abundance of and at same time picked up bunch of equipment and supplies for next to nothin while snagging some nice frags at a very reasonable price

The Guy 03-02-2015 01:35 PM

:thumb: Great to see that people are bringing equipment as well, why not have it all.
Sounds like the organizers did a great job.

Animal-Chin 03-03-2015 05:55 PM

I got 3 ultra ricordia that would have cost me $105 at J&L for $30. I was stoked about that.

Ya, I think "some" reefers like trying to help out others by giving a good deal and aren't interested in making a ton of money. :thumb:

Animal-Chin 03-04-2015 09:39 PM

I think I just confused him when he asked what my canreef name was and I said Animal Chin. After that I could see he was dazed so i went in for the kill...lol

I got some great deals from Ryan and a Monti collection from Kelly I had been looking for. Unfortunately I was coming down with a head-cold and wasn't feeling well. I was going to stay to the end for the super-deals and help clean-up. I've offered my assitance in the future to help the organizers with raffle, purchase-checking, name tags and the like. It was an extremely well attended event and there was little room to move around. You missed a good frag swap.

I'm hearing the plan is to use a little bigger place for the next one, if it's going to be a regular thing that's probably a good idea, totally plan on being at the next one. "I hope" :lol:

harlequin01 03-08-2015 01:07 AM

I heard the place was too crowded, too bad I couldn't come.
