...Mugs, et. al., what do the vendors pay per table for the swaps you folks attend...and what other means are used to raise money at the swaps?..
Happy Aquariuming,

The only swaps I attend are Rockford and Milwaukee.  Tables are $20 for an 8 footer at both.  Both charge a nominal entrance fee for buyers.  Milwaukee is $2 and I think Rockford is $5.

I'm not afraid of work.  I can lay down right next to it and go to sleep.

Quad City tables are $15 for an 8 footer. Some clubs use silent auctions to raise money. Check the lottery statutes in your state before you do any drawings or giveaways.

You guys have no idea how lucky you are.  There's no such thing as a fish club let alone a swap in my neck of the woods.  There is so little interest in tropical fish down my way.
Always move forward. Never look back.
