Thanks Tony... Uhh are folks gonna have nametags on?

I wish people did.  I suffer from CRS (Can't Remember S***) and people will always talk to me like I know them well all the time I'm wondering who the hell they are.

This sounds like the mother of all auctions, However whats this BIN table? Sounds like Ebay. At auctions people bid, why not just start a flea market for fish. Might not be a bad idea that why sellers could set flat rate prices. Just a thought, Johnny.

FWIW, local clubs (I forget specifically which have/haven't) have had swap meets before - sellers basically pay for a table and sells their goods.

The BIN tables are a very small percentage of the items at this auction. Each seller is limited on how many BIN items they may register. Also, the BIN items are only available for the first couple hours of the auction, then they have to be reclaimed by the seller or they go into the auction as a normal item with no minimum bid (well, actually a $1 minimum). The BIN option is to allow a seller to bring an item that may be higher end, or that they just do not want to gamble on a low bid.
As for flea market events, we normally call them swap meets but have not had one in quite a few years. It's been talked about among the officers of the various clubs, but it hasn't been nailed down.

Thought so, then I clicked on the link and read the rules and all. I don't want to jinx it or anything, but it is the plan to make it to this auction. My cousin will be coming with me. Im excited for this. Especially when I read it is being "Catered"...

Yea right... I've all heard this story before...

I don't need a nametag. For some strange reason, people tend to remember who I am.
