I'm a member of an aquarist society that holds auctions every couple of months for animals and equipment.

I thought this was a good idea and wondered if anyone else did too?

It's held at a pub near me in castleford and we wouldn't have to worry about licencing really as they already have permission from the council to hold the auctions...

\would anyone be interested in going or selling?

Obviousley they wouldn't be monthly but maybe once every 3 months?

It's a really good way to pick up cheap equipment, I get UV starters for a couple of quid, 2ft tanks for £3, mopani wood for a quid and bog wood for a couple of quid...

Any takers?

that is the only problem, by the time you get to the auction you may of already spent enough to not make it profitable enough.

however for people close it sounds like a great idea
