[Loren]

I have gone both as a buyer and seller. This event is a blast and I can't wait to go again.

 

[Pleco Jim]

We are super excited for this swap. 4 tables already claimed by vendors. This should be a great turn out. Get your table reserved today! Let's give rhe public some nice variety of merchandise and fish stock to choose from.

 

[Keefe]

Mayyybe I should be a vendor and sell all the pleco caves ever

 

[Erxkeel]

loves these swaps!

 

[Pleco Jim]

Alright we have 8 tables claimed as of right now! That's great! This is going to be a great swap!

 

[Loren]

Wow, that was quick.

Trying to decide if it's worth it to bring down some albino longfin bristlenose juvies and albino bluegrass guppies. It would be great to thin the herd a bit but not sure if those would be in demand.

At the two swap meets that I have been at fish have always sold really well.

 

[Erxkeel]

I have requested Pleco Jim bring me Longfin Albino BN to the swap already, So I know they are in demand.

Hmmm...if @Pleco Jim is bringing them then maybe I shouldn't this time around. I don't want to compete!

 

[Erxkeel]

Well, he is bringing me (2). IDK if he is bringing more stock than that.

The more the merrier. I wouldn't not bring something just because someone else might. At the GSAS General auction a bunch of people brought Bolbitis to sell and all of it sold and at high prices.

What's the best way to package fish when bringing them in? I've only been to one last year. I think the fish I bought were in bags.

 

[Betty]

Agree with Loren. Some might like to mix and have a couple from a different line as well.

Whatever works best for you on how you want to sell them. I shared a table with a guy last time that brought two buckets (angels and discus) and just scooped out and bagged once the sale was completed.

 

[Erxkeel]

Agree. I will have a bucket of Mystery snails and some bags.

 

[Loren]

On the other hand I am getting out of breeding endlers so plan to bring a mixture of 20 (adults to fry) all bagged up for sale.

 

[julzhull]

I think I like the bucket and bagging idea. I'll have to find some bags before next weekend.

Do people generally heat/aerate water if the fish aren't pre-bagged? I'm thinking I could bring a few buckets of water and then have the fish in a 10 gallon so you can see them.
