Sore wish we could attend a real swap and not just actions in this area... :'(
I hear ya,,,,,GCCA swaps' are just superior to anything that I've seen.....attendance, variety, etc.....too bad some are eggheads with people....LOL...but a good bunch basiclly
I like the GCCA swap. So much stuff there. it's a good place to find them hard to find fish.
Any way we could have a swap here among members? With an african violet plant forum I am on we do it. Of course that is just leaves and plants. Maybe some other way to trade fish or fish equipment among us?
Barb
Mug-Mart.......you can do all that there....
I'm up for it, some trading sounds like fun:))

Can you post more details on the Quad Cities swap Jon?
The QC swap isn't a large one, Frank....about 15-20 vendors, at best...But Bob and Gale told us of the nice folks there..and they weren't wrong. I just looked and there are 6 signed up so far....LOL...you'd like it..lots of chatter and some good cichlid, BN, breeders too....but it can get Angel heavy real quick.... 8)...Joel came to a couple, and Aron and Lori used to go when they lived out that way....
here's the link...

Aron,
You think you and I could pull off organizing one here?
Actually last year we did have a swap meet at one club meeting. We could push for that again.
So Saturday is our first official Seattle Area Aquarium SWAP (SAAS). Lori and I have been getting our dry goods ready and counting the number of finned kids we can live with out. I forgot how much work this is. ;D
Saturday morning is going to have to be an early one. Wish Jon was gonna be here :'( to help bag and zip tie them shut...., but I will make due i guess????? When we get there I will have my comic relief with Ron almost as much fun. 8) [size=78%] [/size]
??? SAAS has a total of 10 tables spoken for and maybe more before it said and done, not bad for our first go around. Plan is to have the next one in March and again in September. Lessons learned will apply for the next 2.
Good luck....have fun....I'll bag a few for ya too....
Tomorrow's the big day! Aron, are you and Lori ready yet?
I'm going up to storage today and start pulling stuff out...That is, if Linda let's me quit painting those blasted kitchen cabinets long enough!
I've sent personal emails out to all I know to send to, kept posting on our FB page and the local forum. Any other ideas from the "mugwumpers'' of what last minute promoting we could do? You guys were a big help in us getting started in this. Tanks!
Ron
Craigs list the event.
local college newspapers too...store flyers, and grocery store bulletin boards..
Did CL from the beginning. Didn't get to the stores ad colleges tho. Will do the next time in March! Thanks for the tips, folks!
So how'd it go gang...get crowd??....a bunch???.....meet new fishkeepers???
Had a great time meeting new people and seeing old friends!! Was a great turn out in the short amount of time that Aron and Ron had to pull this together!! Alot of trading of things at the end!! (Aron traded a wave maker control unit for a 40 gal "shellie" tank :o actually it's a frag tank but.....
That's wonderful ....it'll get better, word of mouth is your best advertiser.. ;D

We had a lot of fun and trading, selling, buying and just plain giving stuff away. WE WILL BE DOING THIS AGAIN IN MARCH! Right Aron and Lori????? It was really great the way everybody was helping others learn about the hobby. Several were there that decided they were going to start in the hobby and this was a catalyst. Yahoooooo!
Nice job, folks....looks good....swaps are fun. ;D
