Gauging Interest: Aquarium Garage Sale

[Stolireef]

As I gazed around my garage (aka: where tools, parts and other miscellaneous items get lost, buried, or eaten by the garage monster) this afternoon, I realized that I've got to get rid of some of this stuff. The same holds true for my 'fish' closet.

With that in mind, I'm gauging interest in an aquarium related garage sale at my house. Anyone could participate. Just bring your 'stuff', price it, and put it on a table. From aquariums to Zeovit (this one took some thought), anything aquarium related would be fair game. While I would keep 'aquarium related' very broad, I would avoid non-aquarium related items such as bedroom sets, old TV's, and your least favorite child. Plumbing parts, extra electrical supplies and just about anything you can think of that might be used on a fish tank would be OK.

This wouldn't be a FRAG or PROP event. Just a bunch of people that either want to get rid of or want to buy aquarium stuff.

I'd like to try to do this some time in early May before it gets too hot. Perhaps on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

Please let me know if your interested. I'll supply the first case of beer and as many tables as I can scrounge up.

Would this be at a park or someone's house?

I don't know if I would have much to sell, but I would be interested in browsing...

 

[zrogst]

This is a pretty cool idea. I expect all sorts of goofy plumbing parts!

 

[scott11]

I was considering the same thing. I would try and participate.

 

[Dre59]

Will be nice to meet other reefers!!!

 

[jporter]

I'm in! I can fill a couple tables with some neat items. JP

 

[Elliott]

I'm in too, good idea

 

[dream54ing]

depending on date. I'm in. Got quite a few boxes of unknown fish related plumbing parts. hoping someone there would know what they are or put them in good use.

Can bring a few tables and beer as well!

 

[Stolireef]

I a Saturday or Sunday afternoon better for everyone?

It would be at my house.

Sundays would be best since a lot of us work saturdays

 

[Mael]

I could make either day work with enough notice, wouldnt have much to bring but definitely would love to hang with fellow reefers and browse what you guys have.

 

[dream54ing]

No preference on day, but earlier date would be better because the heat is closing in!

 

[AZBigJohn]

I work every other weekend so it's 50/50 with me, either Saturday or Sunday doesn't matter. I either work them both, or I don't.

 

[Stolireef]

Sounds like we have some interest. Let me check with my much better half about a few possible dates.

On a related note, I would create a separate thread for posting items for sale but it wouldn't be comprehensive. More of a teaser thread. By way of example, I'd list a few ballasts I would be selling.

How does Sunday May 5th look for people? I would do it in the afternoon around 2:00 PM to about 5:00 PM

 

[Mael]

Would probably work for me, not sure if others would have cinco de mayo plans for then...?
