Josh Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Pretty good we usually get a fairly full hall. From memory we had about 85 visitors turn up last year and Sydney gets about 100 to theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick77 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Hi all, i've been thinking of taking a road trip upto this auction and was wondering what time should i aim to get there ? It says the auction starts at 2pm but i imagine there will be time to get arould and check out whats on offer before the bidding starts. Also as a first timer to a Cichlid auction what am i in for and if i decide to buy anything ( more than likely lol ) what should i bring with me or would a foam box of two cover it ? any info would be appreciated.

LithoMan Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 You can't check out the fish until its up for auction your welcome to walk up and have a lookBut there should be a big screen that shows a picture of the fishAll you need is MONEY Once you win the bid using a bidders card you go to the counter and pay for the fish straight away.I am sure other will probably go in to more detail about the whole auctionSilence is golden so if people around you talking crap lol tell them to shooshHahahha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick77 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Thanks for the info. one other question, are there mainly fry for sale or adults or both ? A friend of mine use to be quite active in the cichlid society auctions and he said he would display adults of the fry he was selling, dose this still happen ? or maybe I've got my wires crossed lol.

mick77 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Thanks for the info I'm looking forward to see how it all works and hopefully pick up some nice tangs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick77 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I'm keen to get an idea of what will be available on the day so it would be great if anyone planning to auction fish could post what they are taking. the main reason i'm trying to find out in advance is because i have to travel for about 4 1/2 hrs and won't have the opertunity to do so on a regular basis. my situation is that i would like to buy some leptosomas or some nice tropheus but if i have the opertunity to buy a few more tricoti that would be my preference but i dont want to miss out on one of the other two waiting for some tricoti that aren't there.

sorroz Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I seriously doubt that you will see any tricoti at the auction..I do not believe we have ever had tricoti at any auction.If you are expecting super rare normally very expensive fish to be available at bargain prices you may be very disappointed, if on the other hand you would like to possibly buy many species at a very reasonable price compared to retail then you should be very pleased with what is on offer on the day.This will be the first auction I have missed attending in a very long time and they are always full of surprises.Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I would have say I doubt there will ne tricoti there on the day. I have never seen them at an auction.Laptop's go through, but in small numbers.Tropheus more or less the same.I will guarantee there will be Electric Yellows and bristlenose cat fish.I am taking some Flavus, mulitipuntatis, furcifer kigoma, L201 and maybe some maswa.

sorroz Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Laptop's go through, but in small numbers.I dont remember any Laptop's being sold at the auctions either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick77 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 TBH i didn't expect to see any tricoti but i thought mentioning it may give me a indication of what is available. I don't expect to get any super rare exotic cichlids at bargain prices at all ! i just don't know what to expect as i have never been to one of these auctions before. I don't really care if i don't buy anything at all, i am looking forward to this because iv'e been a fish keeper for many years and this should be a great day seeing another side to the hobby.
