Hobbiest garage sale otherwise known as back alley sellers

Ok so I'm gonna call this B.A.S. (back alley sellers) frag sale lol... I'm thinking that the 19 of July 10am till 3pm would be a good date for this it will give people time that want to trade or sell for the frags to heal plus it is plenty of time before winter fest that it won't cause any issues. If you would like to participate in this just let me know my number is 5154512795 I'm thinking this will be a fun thing heck we could even grill if y'all would want. There will be plenty of space for anyone to come I only have 3 8 ft tables so if anyone has any tables it would be great if y'all could bring them depending on how many people want to get involved.


The location of this will be at 5278 NE 14th St Des Moines

 

Ya you can bring them

 

Vendors compete with hobbiest all the time.... it's kinda like there being a law against garage sales because it will hurt target, Walmart and other retail stores... This is a fun way of bringing people together and even you yourself said you buy from us anyways so guess i still don't understand the logic in your thinking. But everyone has a right to their opinions even if their opinion contradicts the point they are trying to say.

 

Also where was everyone that is so against this at when they put up the dbtc that's giving away free corals.... let's see a vendor compete with that... beginning to think it's because i came up with this hmmm... sorry that i have great ideas and I'm very blunt but truthfully that's why i have always been a good leader military and civilian world i actually come up with plans and or ideas that will benefit others i also think doing this will bring up the Des Moines area members.... Alittle bird told me we wwon't be hosting a spring fest anymore so this is my plan to keep something here

 

I can get some major vendors here... so I would be willing to do it now I can tell you there are a couple that I will probably cancel out like this certain one that takes up two spots and is not a sponsor yet he is at every fest.... so if I will have the ability to get the vendors ect then yes I will be more then willing to do it... I'll get mindblowingcorals.com, reefkingdom.com and some others that i talk to a lot to come

 

And as for this particular event well since Des Moines area doesn't seem to have a meeting in July I'll set this up as that? Except any region is more then welcome to come and join us... what are your thoughts? Oh and as for the fest would anyone else and I have full power on what happens there? I have noticed that the speaker aaudience is very minimal and a waste of money and kinda pointless maybe we could have some local speakers... Craig, bud, Joe from coral haven ect....

 

Also when was Des Moines area gonna be informed of this? I'm sure there are plenty of us here that would set this up for spring fest

 

But we will get vendor list correct? Cause i know that like all 3 sponsors that come already have a spot if they want.... gonzo. .. turbo.... and acc so the rest is first come first serve guidelines correct that the planners call correct? So let's say um dirks for example who takes up 2 spots and appears to not be a sponsor doesn't get his money in for the show fast enough he doesn't get a spot at frag fest correct?... see i actually have a spot and the building is large enough to do this at also it would most likely be cheaper then any place that y'all have been choosing. .. so hopefully since there is people wanting to forefront this in Des Moines area then there will be no push from cedar rapids people and waterloo ect... so we will still host it here

 

Alright to get back on topic who would like to participate in selling or trading frags ect? Does July 19th sound good to everyone? Let me know

 

Yes you can use one of the tables that i have. Anything and everything is welcome corals, equipment, fish ect. I'm thinking that I will start a thread in the buy sell trade so that we can post pics ect of what everyone is thinking about bringing
