Posted ads on Seattle Craigslist again! less than 2 weeks away! Starting to get ready already

Posted about the swap on the aquarium co-op page and paid to have it reach a few thousand people

 

[Bob]

So whats this all about? Have never been to one and would be a long drive for me. What kind of stuff is there and how large is this event? Thanks for any info, need to figure out if its worth the drive.

 

[KaraWolf]

It is exactly what it sounds like. Us hobbyist get together in Auburn and trade/sell stuff/talk fish. There are currently 7 tables (long folding tables) going to be setup with various peoples stuff for sale. The kind of stuff depends on what people want to get rid of and the size is purely dictated by how many people end up coming. Sounds like it could be pretty big if Cory is advertizing on the Co-op page.

I added a thing to my facebook post. Everyone who shares it and shows it to us in store gets a free portion of live black worms.

Also been posting to craigslist. Spread the word!

11 DAYS...!!!

Hi folks! I've been away for several days, but I'm back now and looking forward to the SWAP.

We have 5-7 table spaces left (8 currently signed up) if any of you want to climb aboard and sell or trade excess plants, fishy animals, and equipment.

Karawolf...you nailed it!

Morgan...thanks for posting on FB.

The more of you that post on your own pages and other social outlets, the more people we'll have show up! It's a fun event and I'm looking forward to seeing all of you that show up!

 

[Angelman]

Ron add us for another table. That will put us at 2 tables....

 

[funkyfish88]

Are there any tables left??

 

[Madness]

Are there any tables left??

Ron, if not give him the one reserved for me. Saturdays are so very difficult for me to become available, and it sucks, I wont be making this one either.

 

[fishloverRon]

Okay, funkyfish88...you have the Madness table!
I'll collect the money after we all get our tables set.

For the newbies, there will be 8' tables with one or 2 chairs behind them for you. The tables are arranged around the perimeter of the large room and sometimes 2 out in the center. If you need electricity, bring extension cord.

All you new visitors, come and plan to have a lot of fun, learn a lot from the experienced hobbyists, and share what you know with others.

 

[funkyfish88]

Thanks Ron!
