What is it? Think of this a one huge flea market / garage sale focused on the aquatic hobby. Deals will be found everywhere. Fish, equipment, food, etc. will all be for sale.
Why are we having a swap meet? Why not another auction? We wanted to give people a different... venue - one where they can talk one on one with the breeder of the fish or the person with knowledge about the things they are selling. Another advantage is that you know what time it will end at!
What will your strategy be? First in line to find that hard to get species of fish? Last to buy right before the bell to steal that bag of fish so the "owner doesn't have to take it home"? Or will you pace yourself - learning as much as possible - making the decisions throughout the day. How about all three?
Rules:
Fish hobby related items only!
HAAS will provide table only. Seller provides everything else.
Seller and buyer conduct their own deals and money transactions.
Seller receives 100% of sale, no split to club.

Buyer must abide by HAAS time schedule for the Swap.

There is the floor plan for the swap meet tables at the Event Registration Detail link. Please select your table(s) that you would like to reserve based on this map. Entrance to the room is in the bottom left hand corner. See pricing information on the registration form. Note you can only select one table number per registration. Sellers are allowed to register for multiple tables if you need more room. Once a table number has been selected, it will no longer be available to select from the list. Don't forget to register early to ensure you get the table you want!
