dropped in for a while, from what I saw it was a great buyers auction but crap for sellers, alot of fish passed in, bags of 5 and six peppermints and orange spots for $30, I didn't buy a thing but I have been to 4 auctions now and this one had some bargains. even heard of a few L168's for $25, I feel sorry for the poor bastards who had expectations of making x amount of dollars based on previous knowledge, but shit happens and good on all ya that grabbed a bargain!

Yep the Auction was a buyers market.  :o
I spent a couple of hundred on stuff I have never bought before.   :roll:

Yes some prices were cheaper than wholesale. If I here the word bristlenose one more time. :roll:    

It was good to run into a heap of people I hadn't seen for a while.....& some new people. Good to put names to faces.
& Wayne looked great with the mop, but where is the French Maid outfit.  :oops:

I bought fish home that will go to the wholesalers on Monday where I'll get the price for them but when all is said and done what you lose on some you gain on others so usually all balances out in the end.
However it is an Auction and like all Auctions there will be some bargins and some really silly high prices.
Thats what keeps us all going back as both buyers and sellers.
