REEF NETWORK Swap meet
 

It's time again to plan an event that will both bring people together and sell some gently used equipment and frags.

The REEF NETWORK Swap Meet is being planned for the 27th of September from 11:00am until 3:00pm.
This event will allow anyone to bring any reef related item to be sold.
The REEF NETWORK will not be involved in the individual sale, but instead allow you to sell your drygoods or frags on your own.

* Sellers should register so that table space can be provided

As this even is still in the planning stages any suggestions or comments are welcome.

More information will follow

Hello Jason,

I think you should edit the word "genitally".:wink:
Looking forward to the event.

I do not want any genitally used equipment.I would like some frags though.Is there going to be a curtain deviding the 2 rooms?LOL.Cant wait for the swap meet.Hopefully I can walk in and carry my own stuff.LOL.Clint

I'll definitely show up with some frags. Pretty sure nothing genital goin' on with them :redface:

I'll come and buy buy buy.
sweet, this is awesome, now I have an excuse not to go to jl for a while.

Great I'm pretty sure I can't fit another frag tray to grow out some frags in my tank. But I'm sure I will try. Looking forward to this one.

Hi Jason,

I have a large fold out table big enough for 2 maybe 3 people and their stuff. I will need less than half so I'll gladly share the one side of the table if someone needs it.

For anyone who missed the last frag/swap meet a couple of years ago it is worth checking out. Lots of good deals and some very nice frags and great conversation. Bring lots of money as there is always more stuff to buy than what you came with. :)

I will be bringing frags and non fondled equipment. ;)

Cheers

Kamloops will be there again.
 

Hey how set in stone is the scheduled date for this? I want to put a time off request at work ASAP. Some of your old gear collecting dust is quite possibly Gold to me. I would place another genital comment in here but I am too late as it has been corrected.

The Dates are fairly set. Commitments the week before make that week impossible and having it later means the weather may not be as good

J

I'll be going unless something comes up with the baby.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

Will probably have some things to sell.

Anthony

i'm in for sure this time. finally i'm not working for a swap meet. i'll frag a bunch for the trip and dig out the old equipment

Hopefully I can keep hiding stuff from the wife till then.

Scott

Come on Scott

Your basement puts some LFS to shame.

I will be there with something to sell for sure.

Tom R

Just talked to Irene & she says that it is ok to hold it at our place if you all want a central location for the swap meet.

Just putting it out there. If you already have another location chosen, no problem.

Anthony

Well were ever it is I will be there. Might have a few things to sell off myself.

It will be at my place in Ladner unless there is too much wining about people having to drive for 30minutes. If that is the case we can take Anthony up on his offer.

BTW on a Saturday afternoon I can get to J&L's in 20 to 25 minutes

And I've had a few comments recently that I'm not letting people see my tank. So that is why I thought it could be at my place.

I'll come by. It'll be good to see everyone again.

I expect I'll be there.

Brad

Getting there.
 

How much further out is Ladner from where Scott's house was for the Auction? Just so us Kamloops people know how early we have to get up in the morning. And I agree with Tom, Scotts basement was like a little gold mine of bits and pieces. Can't wait.

Oh Ladner is going to add about an hour I'm afraid

J

Yes but well worth the trip. :wink:

See thats the problem Tom...the wife wants it gone yesterday. So...I gotta hide it from her all summer....lol

Scott

I will hide things for you. And they might even make it to the swap meet for you. :lol:

i'll be there of course

Kyle

swap meet
 

ah another hours not too bad. hopefully that one guy doesnt have to ride his bike to this one.

Ladner is great, I'll definitely be there.

Hey i've never been to a frag swap before and I was wondering if everyone just brought tanks with the frags in them and a light over top or if they brought them all individually bagged?

Just curious
Ben

Hey Ben,

The host normally provides a tank with warm fresh water to float your frag bag in.
Then there are several tables that people might lay there extra's out on.

Dan

The format will be similar to a swap meet where people who are selling will be responsible for their own corals or live stock.

I will how ever have buckets available to float bags in. I will not have enough heaters to supply every bucket, but will work on a solution by that time.

J

Dang...I work Saturdays...:sad:

I have 5 or 6 big rubbermaid containers if that helps the situation....
Sept seems so far away....

any way we can set up a page to list what individuals will be bringing for swap/trade?

Yes...Sept is too far away. I have too many frags at the moment (thanks to the size of some of my fish). I'm going to have to move them before Sept.

Unfortunately there are a lot of factors that have made this event in September. The biggest being attendance. More people will be around in Sept than Aug.
Plus I need 2 months to get my fishroom ready for visitors. It'll never be as nice as yours, but I should probably make and effort to complete it

J

Jason if you need some help on the fishroom just let me know. I'll be there.
Chris

If you need a hand Jason, let me know.

I did not mean to suggest moving the date. I'm sure that by September, I'll have more. I don't have a frag grow-out tank, so it only takes about 6-10 frags and I'm full.

same here, I can dfintiely wait 'till Sept, I'm just happy someone is taking their time and sweat to put something like this together.
and for the record, I don't even have a fishroom(yet) so don't put to much pressure on yourself....:razz:

Not problem guys.

We also need to wait until TomR is up and about. He just had his hip replaced and it wouldn't be a Reef Network event with out him. :)

J

OK, So I know it still over a month away but need to keep it fresh in everyone's mind.

Sept 27th seems to work well for most (I'm sorry if it doesn't work for you)

I'd like to start to get number of people that will be selling
Please e-mail reefnetwork@gmail.com if you are interested in selling
There is no cost for selling and no percentage to Reefnetwork for this event

Remember you can sell anything you want from used hardware, frags, algae, FW plants, and skill saws if you want.
There will also burgers and hotdogs available through out the day.
