GSAS AUCTION

[Patrick_G]

I had a good time at the GSAS Annual general auction. Thanks to all the members that worked hard to make it happen. I saw @gjcarewrunning items for hours and @Seattle_Aquaristobviously spent a lots of time organizing donation for the raffle.  Thanks guys! 
Some of my scores included Painted red fire shrimp, a 10 gall rimless setup, 2 large magfloats, a large bag of aquasoil, a huge bag of narrow leaf Java fern and some ADA tissue cultures.

Nice! I picked up some plants (classic) and some rhadinocentrus ornatus "Seary's Creek". The amount for sale was crazy!

I was exhausted by the time I got home

lol, yes those GSAS auctions are exhausting but also lots of fun; organizing it is always a challenge especially with concerns about COVID this year .  I'm glad you both found some great items; nice find on the Rads @gjcarew and a great looking rimless @Patrick_G. FYI we auctioned 576 items in about 5 hours no wonder folks were tired!  -Roy

It’s amazing how smooth these auctions run! From a new member’s standpoint it’s seamless. 576 items is amazing too.

lol @Patrick_G, they didn't used to be that way 10+ years ago.  Most of us have been doing our 'jobs' for many years now and we try to make it run smoother every year.  COVID has provided some challenges but I will pass on your kind words to the auction chairperson and the board.
