All Ohio Swap

Erik- I emailed you about some frags. I won't back out ;)

Anywho... anyone going to have any carribean mushrooms to trade? Ive been looking for Discosoma neglecta and santithomae for some time. The pricing on ebay is outrageous, so please don't suggest that :D.
How about cool macro algaes?
Electric Blue hermits?

Question, how do most swappers meet up? You have a designated attire on to find (say, a bright ornage sweatshirt) or a location, telephone number....? just wondering. it will be my first time swapping at a swap. :)

Check out my listings if anyone cares to see what I have to trade.
http://fragswapper.com/trades.asp?SwapperKey=620 or go to fragswapper.com and look under "asixyreef". I just started my reefcentral account, so please dont judge me by my post count. :) I've been out of the swapping loop.
 
Oh, ive been to a swap before... i cant imagine darting around the room.... er, trying to, staring at people's chests trying to read what it says :D
 
I can't seem to get to the fragswapper.com site right now any one else having a problem?

as to the cancelations I have had more people request and drop
$5.00 frags then I can count. don't bother me though, just leaves more to sell at the swap.(wich is easier)
I am planing on thining out my over stuffed reef by 30%.
= lots of cheep frags for all.
 
I can't log on now either.

Look at it this way steve, say you had a 50 dollar frag, someone requested it and you accepted there request. Then 5 other people want the same frag and you have to tell them no its spoken for. the week before the swap they decline there request and say they saved it because they wanted to make sure they got some good stuff but decided to get another from someone else.

That kinda leaves that person high and dry with such short notice. I wouldn't risk bringing rare expensive stuff to a swap unless it was spoken for.

I haven't gotten the shaft to bad but got it though. Others have gotten it worse right Mike :)

Regarding how to find each other at the swap:

Last year I tried to do a poster that was a layout of the hall, where you could mark your name indicating what table you had set up at. It was in a poor location though and wasn't used. Should I try that again?
 
I have been frought with cancellations as well. I could air a lot of dirty laundry, do to the fact that I have a rule setup in Outlook to dump all the cancellations into a specific folder. I understand poop happens. If you are going to cancel on any of my frags before now and this weekend please let me know now so that I don't bag an item specifically for you.

Thanks and happy swapping

I can use some frozen food, so count me in.

As for cancelations, as a buyer I have had my 2 items cancelled. So now I am going to just go to the show and shop there. Several people have underminded the whole purpose of frag swapper and it's a shame. You shouldn't list something if you are going to sell it prior to the show.

I can't wait to see the items up for sale. I am sure I will still find everyhing I want.

Be sure everyone is told as they enter that the board is there and how to use it. Make certain everyone who claims table space marks their location on the board and those just there to buy or looking for a pre-arranged swap know how to find their match.

I knew it was there last year as we had talked about it ahead of time but unless you'd paid close attention to the RC thread you'd have missed it. With crowds like that, if the board is put into play properly and everyone informed, I think it could be a great asset to everyone.
 
thinking of going but I dont have anything to trade at this time but I have a nano that needs some filling

Do people have frags for sale as well

I am mainly looking for mushrooms

I will have several to sell due to all the xxx xxxx xxxxxxx cancellations from my posts on fragswapper!!!!:mad2:

This is just plain ridiculous people...I am pulling anything not already spoken for spoken for...this makes the fragswapper site useless...now I see why Rob asks for prepay.
 
This whole cancellation thing is making fragswapper useless and giving the swap a bad repor also! It amazes me a year ago this was not a problem and I actually had to beg, beg, beg Rob to take a prepay on an echino frag he was selling!

We can't make it to the swap this year and the 2 frags we requested we have paid for, not cancelled, we have another frag we want badly and have not committed to, to let others have the chance to buy, and have emailed the swapper we are intersted if the frag is available still on 3/24 ...We will not comit and then cancel that is so childish!

This is such a shame is all we can say
 
I only ask for people to prepay very few pieces. If it is a colony I am worried about I will not chop it up without having cash in hand. Don't forget every time we cut a coral we run the risk of infections and losing the colony.

I have had probably 30 cancellations, but I use fragswapper for more of a guage of interest more than anything.

The all -ohio swaps are the best in the tri-state area no doubt about it, and I have been to alot of swaps.

I am looking forward to seeing some old friends and making new ones, I hope to bring alot of good things and have a great time as well. Kudos to the organizers of this swap before hand, I know how time consuming it is, and I just wanted you all to know we do appreciate your efforts.

Rob
