Re: [GSAS-Member] Weekend Auction yesterday

Hi All,
Great job at the auction yesterday!  Eric was right, the new way is
much smoother and faster. It was nice to have a couple experienced
auctioneers who made it much more fun!  
I agree with Hiro, even though I know it is a huge amount of work, it
would be nice to have something else in the fall.  Maybe since we have
a "plant auction" in February we could do a "fish auction" sometime
like November.
Or, another idea would be to organize a group order for club members
from a resource so we could benefit from several people splitting
shipping. Kind of like the ancistrus order. I would love to get some
nice apistogrammas but do not want to spend a bunch of money on
shipping for a couple of pairs.  I would also like to order some
African cichlids along the same lines.
Again, just some ideas.

Subject: [GSAS-Member] Weekend Auction yesterday

  I think it was great yesterday's auction.  Thanks to all the board
members and some funny auctioneers.  
    I can't compare the weekend auction and regular Tuesday night
auction since I haven't attend the auction for last 2 years.  But I
think it is easier for many people when it start at daytime instead of
night.  I recall it lasted until late when the auction was held at
night.  Especially considering the some cleaning up it require after
the big gathering.  
   
    I know it takes lots of effort from the auction organizer but I
wish there are 2 general auction a year.(beside the plant auction,
they are held little too close)  Perhaps sometime earlier in Fall?  I
think it would increase the income for the club.  

   
    Anyway, like I said it is my wish and it maybe not realistic.  And
I know it takes time and effort from the board and organizer but I'm
sure many people would like to see if it is possible.
