rowie Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 i may not even go as the same fish always go through and im not interested in sitting through 100 lots of yellow and 50 lots of black calvus to sell a few cyps and xenos which i can ofload without the hassleand kevs constant bitching about people talking has sort of turned me off the nswcs its as if he expects everyone to be a fish expert alot of people dont know what certain species are or how compatible they are so unless the people up front want to give a 5 minute discription of each fish and there behaviour he may have to learn to deal with the talking or just leave as he seems to be the only 1 who complains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielsplakat Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 How much do the utintas usually go for at the auctions guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tootie Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 It depends how many people are bidding for them...sometimes it's cheaper to buy them independently from a breeder.I think there were some at the last mini auction however I can't remember how much they went for.

May be you should play more attention and less talking , in regards people talking they should have more respect , it makes the Auctioneers job very hard and Kevin is not the only one that brings it up ask MIKO how many times his ask or yeld out to shutt up!!!!If you are not interested in sitting at the Auction that is your problem , Majority of people dont have a problem.Lionel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithoMan Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 My 2 cents worthA little respect towards the comette and what they doGoes a long way(major auction my guess is over a 12hour shift they will be doing)And I can imagine 1 persons voice (auctioneers)vs 100 or so guestsSo fair go And as for the yellows and blues bring some exciting stuff to spice things up And micko's voice is giving kev a run for his money lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tootie Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 At any of the auctions the committee and the people who help out put alot of hard work into making it happen.The thing to remember is noone gets paid for it...so personally I'm greatful to all involved.
