Auction...

[SKISWETPETS]

Well im not gonna make my 1st auction tomorrow.... The weekend is gonna be dry and therefore I will be working all weekend. All is well tho, Cash Money. So that means more money for more fish in the near future. And the wife is backing my idea for my new fishroom in the basement Not a huge room, but big enough for now I will be sure to post some pics of my progress as it comes....

Great news on the fishroom!!  Looking forward to seeing how you set it up

[Leo]

it ended early, as the bidding was very lite.

it ended early, as the bidding was very lite.

It was my understanding that bidding in terms of dollars was high.  The clubs dollars per bag for the last 2 auctions has been much higher than normal.

[vaudeville]

The way I saw it the number of bids was down but the bucks were higher
Seem like everyone was going for a home run jumping bids by 5 to 10 dollars at a crack
I think they were trying to scare off any comp.
Sometimes it worked.
Also people were going in at the opening bid knowing that it was going to be there anyway.
By not having the auctioneers have to go back to a buck a bag really saves time.
Believe me there was alot of opportunity to spend money as my lighter wallet can attest

[gcalvus]

as a seller I was very happy with the prices I was getting

[Rob S]

What were the "hot" sellers? Sometimes it blows my mind when people are spending huge money on fish that normally go for a quarter of the price. (Some years it's electric yellows, angels, etc.)

Was this the only big auction for the year or is there going to be another one?

[PowerCerg One]

There was a breeder sitting next to me who who kept jumping the prices on fish. He paid out the nose on a handful of bags, just because he really wanted them in his breeder stock. He figured he'd get nice return. I believe him based on the number of Compressiceps and such that he bought.

Was he a smaller skinny guy with glasses?

Yeah, yeah, all this talk about coming down and then........ NO SHOW!!!!  I'm beginning to believe you're some 13 year old living vicariously through your computer and that the adult "Ski" doesn't exist     The only way you'll be able to change my mind is if you actually show up!

Hey Jim you might want to start making plans now to make it to the January auction.

Or change your name to the great and powerful OZ. You know, we can hear you blowing smoke but no one has ever seen you.    LOL.
