How was the auction what everyone get?
-
I got a sore throat from yelling. lol The P.A. system was down for a few hours. I also picked up some electric blue rams and some orange laser cories. Kept away from the comps. and calvus this time. Got a hook up on a breeding pair.
-
I didn't have time to really pay attention to things until later in the auction, but kind of got a roll towards the end and brought home a handful of items:
- F1 S. fryeri
- B. nototaenia
- Ps. saulosi
- A. chrystii male
- L. trewavasae pair
-
I came home with some electric blue rams, too. :D
-
My first auction in a few years. That's a nice hall, centrally located to.
Picked up some. E. Blues, E. Yellows, red to kimpuma, ruby green haps, red express.
Great auction, very well run....so thanks to all the people who put it together.
-
You got those red express. Nice ;)
-
I got some cory cats and some albino plecos. Cudos to whoever brought in the PA system. Couldn't hear anything prior. Had a good day
-
I stopped in for about an hour didnt really know any one there but looked like a very nice group of people there was one guy that came up and explained a little bit of how things worked he was the President of the club very nice guy I wanted to Thank him for his time and help Ron sorry I missed ya there really didnt know what you looked like and didnt see your name on any of the Angel bags I saw
-
We came home with a few things.
From the auction: yellow 1/2 black calvus and julidochromis ornatus
And prearranged: lamprologus brevis sunspot
It was nice to see such a great turn out even with the slow start we had with the PA issues.
-
Got a group of acaricthys heckelii, Perlmutts, venustus, and mainganos. I was eyeballing those buccos Ron.
-
Good times. Glad that once again when faced with an issue, (P.A. system) they were able to come up with a workaround. Great job!
As usual spent more than what i planned but walked out with some good looking fish. White tail Acei, breeding group of S.P. 44's, a Gold pearlscale angel with massive finnage, a group of young platinum angels and a group of black angels. Some Cyrtocara moori, a trio of Ahli. Three bags of duckweed for the pond and Koi, which also came with a bonus Endler inside one of the bags. Bonus.
-
Picked up 6 f-1 Cyanosticus Mpimbwe orange.
And 6 f-1 Cyanosticus Karlini.
-
Did you get the cyanosticus in the first hour? I did not see any gobies. Would have bid hard against you if I had seen them ;)
-
I drew birthday boys name in the raffle.
-
Awesome time, Nick and I had fun. We picked up some new Victorians. I love the color in the Vics and it is good to see so many in the hobby. Good job MCA and everyone that had a hand in it.
-
My first auction had a great time everyone was very friendly, people where happy to explain how it all worked. I picked up some ruby green haps, and some bicolor 500s. I am treating the 500s for fungus right now but all and all a great experience.
Thank you

I totally missed the Acarichthys heckelii - didn't see them and didn't hear them come up. Very nice fishes - enjoy them.
Great auction overall! I haven't seen that many "priority" or "bumped" bids in an auction. Had to be a record of some sort. Even a bag of Java Moss was prioritized and sold for I think $10 - crazy! LOL
-
I prearranged the purchase of the Acaricthys. They were not actually in the auction. It is a beautiful group with nice streamers.
-

That was me. The club owns the PA system, we used to use it at our last location. We had no idea the sound system was that jacked up on the south hall, or I would've brought it at the beginning.
-
The auction was great. There were a lot of fish I havent seen at past auctions. I was able to grab some red fin compressiceps, a big group of petricola, and some albino bristlenose.

Maybe we need to have it on stand by for future auctions in case that happens again.

That explains it! Beautiful fish!

I haven't had it in my vehicle for two reasons.
Number one, it's heavy as hell and it's stored in my basement, so it's always fun to lug it up and down the stairs.
Number two, I am bringing so much club related crap to the auction, I am lucky to have room for fish!

I am the owner of a audio video company anything you need let me know, no problem at all.

We'd like to display the fish that are being auctioned off on a video screen so everyone can see them. Is that something you can do? The hall has a screen that comes down from the ceiling that's available we just need the video set up.
-
Re Video, it has a projector with a regular VGA connector, no fancy stuff.

That's a great idea Marty. Those sitting in all locations in the hall could see the fish.

Not my idea, it's been done before. We were just looking to revive it so people don't congregate around the front table, and it also gives everyone an opportunity to see the fish before they've been sold.

You can do a static camera directly to the projector easy to do. Just need to figure out where the camera is going to be located to give optimal picture of the fish.

I would think the ideal location would be ~45 degrees downward in front of the person reading off the item up for bid. Would be cool if it was removable from a stand in the event of fish in styros/buckets/etc, so someone could manually hold the camera to show that particular item and then place it back on the stand.

The only way for it to be mobile is if we had some type of transmitet, bot going to be cheep. we need to check to see if the projector dose HDMI if it dose then We could use an Apple TV and anyone's Apple phone or ipad and then We could use airplay directly to the projector. If it is only equips with VGA ports and video ports I think it's going to need to be static.I will do some digging for solutions.
-
If we have to go old school, I have a Sony Digital 8 camcorder that has an S video port, will that work? If so, we would just need the cord and a tripod.
-
It definitely only had a VGA cable coming out behind the wall, and the projector is ceiling mounted. They might have some sort of wireless set up, but I didn't see anything when I was poking around. You might contact the hall, or ask them about it at the Motor City auction as they often have video going.
-
This would do it if the projector has composite video
