Brooklyn Aquarium Society?

Given the sample of prices you posted from last year's, I feel like I'm just going to sit there for four hours and say "Seriously?" at the end of every auction.

Maybe I could go for the company and meet some local fishkeepers.

..then again, would I want to spend time with people who pay $8 for Ghost Shrimp and $5 for Duckweed.

Gosh I'm negative.

$7 for bamboo shrimps aren't too bad though

I may go. I did pick up some Goodeids and killie fish last time. As well as a few plants. My friend picked up a tank and some fish. I always expect the worst and always come out pleased

lol.

It's not exactly great either, since most stores seem to sell them at $6. Maybe my standards/expectations are too high, but I always feel like fish club auctions (especially a self-proclaimed big one) should have great deals and rare fish going. The sampled list looks like it could be easily beaten just by strolling into a couple of LFS.
