Quad City Swap

Putting out feelers - trying to resurrect this swap in Davenport IA, just over the border from Illinois. The venue has Sunday Oct 23 wide open. Probably something like Noon til 4 with setup starting around 10AM? Bears play on Thursday that week, hopefully no baseball conflict (GO CUBS?)

Nice venue, about 3000 sq ft in their lower level with refreshments and a bar upstairs.

Our local Facebook group is over 2000 members now plus advertising at the fish shops, online, etc. I don't think we would conflict with any other swaps in the region, so I'm hoping to pull in people from Des Moines to Chicago.

At $10 a table would anyone be interested in selling? Nothing firm yet, just looking for feedback..

That's a great deal.  In these parts, tables go for $20 to $30.

Too Many Fish. Not Enough Tanks.

I'm in. We had many good times in the past at the Quad City events. Great idea resurrecting that swap.

It will be next February before the swaps start up around here...  Lots of fall auctions though.   |^|

Auctions are nice for getting rid of excess fish or ones you no longer want. But swaps are a lot more fun.

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

I like the auctions better. As a buyer that is. Some really good deals can be had. A bunch of us sit in the back and cut up kinda like way back when in study hall. At a auction is where you can run into a lot of friends at the same time and have time to just shoot the shit for awhile

BallAquatics

We have worked at making our auctions a bit more personable and I like them much better now.

We are a 'go' for the Quad City swap, drop me a line if you'd like a table! Also the bar opens at 1 for drinks and refreshments!
