  • Re: H.A.S. SPRING AUCTION !!! March 16

    That is all well and good, and I would agree with doing that to prevent jackasses to take advantage of the system, but what about the bigger supporters of the auction who follow the rules? Screw them? I know I place fish in certain order in accordance the number people being there. Wouldn't it be smarter to notify the people that you bring the most $ in to the"club" the order of the tables to both "A" bring in more $ for them and the club and "B" keep your bigger supports almost happy? Making anyone happy is almost impossible but let them know you greatful for their large support of the club and knowing that their stuff is always all good, ie no rebagging, fish dying, and following the rules! I know for the last 2 years that the HAS has made at least $1000 plus off my items and I follow the rules, so would it kill them to tell me or Dave or the couple from Austin the order of the tables? Knowing good and well we make them the most $. Instead just leave us out and prevent us from making the most we can off our items, we already are taken a cut rate by auctioning them which we are willing to do to support the hobby and this club.

    Well luckly for me, I sold most of my auction items via aquabid(no cut of 25%) would not have done so if I could get a straight answer from the folks in charge. Yall lost $ not me   . Thanks to the ones who has kept me informed cause they know I have been a big supporter not only as a seller but a buyer and knows it wasn't right.  So thanks for looking out for your people!! Yall all good in my book, as for the rest, know that your club just lost out on the normal amout of $ from me and my kid brother to support your field trips, parties and so on.

    Never complained about the price, luck of the draw, but amount of buyers at time of. You and I both know that table 4 and the last half of three, the number of people there is alot less then 1 and 2. Sell crazy somewhere else. I guess fish auctions run different then non fish auctions? Because they tell you up front the order when and how things are done.

      We did it that way once to see how it worked. Sorry you were disappointed. Insofar as making money off your items that means you made at least $3000...and I'm guessing you didn't have approximately $500 in costs at each auction like we do. Glad you got good money for your stuff. I just didn't know you had to sell it so soon....wasn't aware I was against such a deadline :wink:

        Yeah I made that much the last two years from these auction! You can look I know I have. 500 in expenses yep I got that and then some every 4th month of a year!  I wish it was just 500. Bags, fish, water, electricity, chemicals, food... easily, but it is all good please inspect my stuff like the last time, they seen my list and told me it was a random thing and I was the random one they weren't going to inspect, I wonder why, maybe because I had my stuff in order to follow the rules like everytime I have sent my stuff your way!!

              "If a buyer wishes to move a bag up in the auction, he may do so by paying a $2.00 fee"

              $2 doesn't seem like much when you're making thousands of $$$ per auction. This seems fair to me. Sounds like HAS has a contingency plan in place. That said, the rules are well defined so can't you afford to pay the $2 when you're making thousands of dollars at a fund raising event?

              I thought this event was for the love and support of the hobby as well as fun. I guess I am just naive.

              $40k+ invested in the hobby... $0 profit and maybe $100 made on selling fry

              HAS I am very happy and excited Just a couple more days. Great big inexpensive steaks MMmmm, friends and the auction. I'm looking forward to coming home with some discus, plecos and calvus.      

              Not sure I'll pay $40 for a single pleco this time  8O

                          Thanks

                          We are very excited about the auction. We won't be selling anything. We have found good homes for what we need to get rid of. We sell fry very inexpensive to friends, support our LFS and help out friends. As CF would say, it's karma It somehow always seems to come back around and I think I like it that way

                          Anyway, everything we have auctioned up to this point has always been a club donation. We truely love the hobby and the people we have met as a result. That is plenty for Girlgeek and I

                            A quick question about the auction...what payment methods are available? Is it cash only, or are checks or even credit cards OK?
                            I called HAS, and while the lady was nice on the phone, she wasn't sure either.
                            See y'all Sunday

                              Cash or checks (provided you did not bounce a check at the last HAS auction). No credit cards.

                                Last auction, they took at least cash and checks ( I know cause I wrote a check) but I don't know bout debit/credit cards - likely not tho.
