First time bringing anything so I am starting small....everything starts at $5....WYSIWYG pics coming tonight.



1. #611 Orange and Blue Zoas - ~10p on a frag plug
2. #611 Orange and Blue Zoas - ~12p on a small purple rock(1"x2")
3. #611 Keds Reds zoas - smaller polyp variety, ~5p on a frag plug.
4. #611 Poison Ivy Paly's - ~5p on a piece of monti skeleton.
5. #611 small red mushroom - mounted on small rock, when it gets bigger they tend to have gold or blue speckles on the face mixed in with the red. The original came from Shark Reef, this is a baby ~1/2"

T5HO lighting, mostly blue+ when I took the pics. Droid DNA phone camera...

first a group shot of the 4 zoa/paly frags....the keds reds and one of the blue/orange frags weren't cooperating and were half closed...

Blue/Orange

Poison Ivy Palys(I made the name up) spattered mint green face and fringe with a neon green mouth.

Keds reds were half closed and I couldn't get an accurate photo, same with the red shroom, will try again tomorrow.

I think tonight is the cutoff for posting so they can get the auction list together, one of the guys from prop can get your bidder number for you.

 

[evolved]

You can get a bidder number on Saturday if you show up a bit early and see the people near the stage with the laptop.

I have been to a few auctions and they are great but I don't know my bidder number but I would like to sell some stuff Saturday, can I still do that?

Go ahead and list your stuff without your bidder number. I'll be able to look up your number when I pull up the auction software to put everything together. To make things a bit easier on me, can you shoot me a PM with your name (sometimes it's easier to look you up via actual name vs. screen name).

Thanks!

^^^ Cut off time was last night so you're all good.

Thanks everyone. I'll post the list this evening.

Please try to print off your own copy of the coral list once it's posted.

Folks,
There seems to have been some confusion here, I'd like to take a minute or so to explain what some people are having trouble comprehending.
This forum, which has been named "Arizona - fish & reef aquarium group (FRAG)" belongs to Reef Central.com, not the club it's named for. Reef Central graciously provides this forum for your club, as well as PROP (which we see as an extension of FRAG), to use absolutely free of charge. We do this for pretty much any registered club that requests it, I'm not looking for a pat on the back, just pointing out that there's value, and we are happy to be able to provide forums to clubs. There is only one string attached.
The thing that we expect in return is that you understand and follow the rules that apply to the entire site. One of the most difficult things for people to accept is that there are requirements to list items for sale here. Auctioning is selling, and by our definition, trading is selling. We do not care who participates in PROP auctions, it's not our business. We do, on the other hand care who posts HERE about items they have for sale.
Also,
If you're ever contacted by a RC staff member about selling or another issue, you can count on that contact to come across much like I have here. I'm not talking down to you, I have a job to do which involves making sure people understand that maintaining order with 300K members means having a code of conduct that has to be followed by everyone. Replying to that contact with a string of profanity laden insults is pointless. Once you make it personal like that, we quite simply usually don't want you here any longer. Since we are the people charged with making such decisions, we get what we want.
Overall, we prefer that everyone that registers here be able to stay and interact with the rest of this global community. A small percentage just refuse to get with the program, and we're forced to deny them access. It's tough to know just how few they are, as they make a lot of noise, but the number is much smaller than the noise they make.
I would like to let this thread carry on, but I'm going to make it clear that someone has pointed the attention of our entire staff here, at this thread. I seriously doubt that I am the only one subscribed.
Our selling rules can be found here;
<a href="/forums/showthread.php?t=1746459">Selling on ReefCentral</a>
If you do not meet the requirements, you probably don't want to post in this thread.
Let's not make this thread about site policy, it has a purpose and I think you should get back to that. To discuss site policy further, please start a new thread in this forum, or the feedback and questions forum.

^ sorry for any trouble.

Everyone please remember to print off your own list for today's meeting from Jason's (frick)post above.

 

[Mael]

Thanks again to everyone who came out today, and especially those of Frag and PROP who keep settings these events up for us. I came home with some amazing coral today and was happy to see the few I brought go home to good people. Looking forward to the big event in November!

 

[dotcommer]

Wish I could of been there. Glad to hear it was a good event.

 

[Vanpire]

It was a fun and cool auction with great stuff.

Of course, I love the salt bucket I get. Great deal. The coral inside was nice too.

The the Sun-kissed paly from PROP is awesome. I have about 30 or so zoa morphs and it is one of my favorite already.
