Hi Seamus

We will try and put up a definitive post from all of the lists below on Saturday night, though we know from experience that people often don't tell us what they are bringing and just turn up on the day with their stock. The whole advantage of pre-informing us via This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or through this thread is that we can publish a "lot" listing as at XX time on XX day and this helps build the interest in what people are bringing for sale.

In the interim why not subscribe to this thread, at least when replies come in you'll get an email about it

Regards
Andrew

Any plans on doing any auctions outside of Dublin? I know I'm not far away being in Portlaoise but I'm afraid I can't make it up for this one

3 bags x 3 - bristlenose plecos 2.5cm
2 bags x 5 - kribensis 3cm
2 bags x 10 - parkinsoni rainbow 3cm

3 x microworm culture - donation
2 x whiteworm culture starter - donation
1 x african dwarf frog - donation - this fellow was accidental bought with bunch of plants and I'm trying to find him new home

maybe some plants

The sizes are just to give an idea

Just a little info on the fish
They are all my humble attempts on breeding
All were raised on brine shrimp/micro worms as initial food
Later main diet was self prepared food based on beef heart
They are getting live daphnia and cyclops + whiteworms
Plecos will eat cucumber, courgette and green peas
All will eat dry food
Guppies are breed for food and they are not of great colours
No diseases of course and they were recently treated for worms (just in case)
There will be minimum price on each bag (except donated stuff) but nothing like the shops prices
To save time at the auction I'm putting some links with photos

Meet the auctioneer.

We've hired this guy at great expense.



I suggest pulling your ear or scratching your nose at the wrong moment might be expensive!

With the amazement of an under water video camera being put up I missed the wild sailfins. Exactly what I'm looking for.
I could bring some Convicts ?
Mixed size & sex

As I posted the original details I am getting all the queries

So I think I need to clarify a couple of things.

First, there are two ways to submits fish / dry goods for auction. If you want to donate the item and have all the sale price go to charity that is great, but you don't have to do that. Most items submitted will be sold on the basis that 15% of the sale price goes to Our Ladies Hospice and the bulk of the money goes to the seller. A couple of people thought they had to donate, you don't, you decide, just tell us when checking in your items on Sunday. Example items sells for €10, you get €8.50 charity get €1.50.

Secondly, I have had a few queries on why the tank size was limited to 24inches. That was for practical reasons and safety, the auction is upstairs and we didn't fancy people dragging big tanks upstairs, we didn't think the pub would be too happy either. You are welcome to bring larger tanks, but keep them in the car for viewing. Give the full details and measurements when you are checking in and the tank will be auctioned as normal.

Finally, If you "donate" an item and it does not sell do you need to collect it? Yes you do. All unsold items must be collected after the auction. If and item does not sell in the first auction it will be put up again for the second. However you do not have to wait until the second auction if you want to withdraw your item and bring it home.

If there are any other queries, please feel free to ask here or PM me and I will try to help.



Daragh

I also forgot to mention.....

I have heard from a few people that have not posted here that they are bringing fish and other dry goods. They haven't posted here in case they can't make it or don't catch the fish that they want etc.

But if they do come there are going to be lots more interesting fish and items for sale than the great stuff already listed so far.

I hope to get a list of my own up tomorrow.
