Dear OVAS' friends.

Just a quick reminder.
If you want three extra entrance tickets, you have only until Wednesday midnight to register your first lots.
You may still register after that time point and or add new lots, if you use same email address, your new lots will add up onto your seller's list.

Hope to see you all this Sunday for our super auction in Montreal

Hello Stussi613 and all members of O.V.A.S.,

The answer is, we do'nt have any detailed list on the net, but we will sell a paper copy (2$) on site Sunday morning.

For people coming, you will have all lots on display before auction and at each break time, as well as the paper copy to guide you.

I hope Stussi613, you finally found a car to join us this Sunday!!

There will be over a thousand lots and some surprises for our 40th S.A.M. Super auction.

You are all wellcome to auction and celebrate with us.!!

T. You for your interest   ;)

Thanks La S.A.M. for a great auction. Lots of nice fish. Was very happy with the stuff I got. I was very impress for my first time attending your auction. Keep up the great work.

It was great time, got some more orange lazer cory's.  Won a heater and also won the treta 20 gallon aquarium kit. Too bad for the guy's that didn't make it down, great prices and experience the way they do their auction, fast.

  Next fish event Ohio in November.

Thanks to La Sam for another great day.
I got some things I wasn't even looking for. 
Talked to lots of people and got to hang out with friends.
I also won a Aquaclear 110 HOB filter.
(They also bumped me up to the front of the Sellers cash out line so I could leave earlier)
Thanks again.

It was great to see another auction, got some great tips for our next one. Met some folks that were at the Aquamania, nice surprise!

I got a great deal on some orange coloured bushy nose but then paid lots for my flame moss because of some internal competition! lol

Note to oneself...only attend with other like minded people to take in the full benefit! We left early because of it.

We also planned on stopping at some LFS, but missed the exit and didn't go. I guess it wasn't mean to be! Grrr....

If I give you $20 can you buy some lotto tickets for me?  You might be the luckiest guy I've ever met...

Yah, and I bought some Anubius congensis and some Echinodorus africanus, which is actually from Brasil!?!?!? Good time though, eh.

Yeah, I had a great time. And BTW those killies they had numerous ones of (Fundulopanchax gardneri) are actually steel blue killiefish from africa. Would have gone well with your african biotope (wolfiewill)...maybe next time.

Post by: wolfiewill on April 30, 2013, 11:03:22 AM
Yes, it seems that the Fundulopanchax genus is different from the Fundulosoma genus (doh!). The latter is an annual, the former will live up to 3 years. My problem is I think too much sometimes (don't tell my wife I said that, eh).

Post by: sylros on April 30, 2013, 01:18:09 PM
I got an Anubia nana plant, some flame moss, and a jar of 4 yellow bushy nose of various sizes. It's funny I thought these were different than the one I had because they had a hint of orange on them, plus the scientific name sounded snazy...well it turns out that the orange hue was made by the jar's red cover!

This auction was a fast one! and very scientific so if you didn't know your name right off the bat and didn't get a chance to see the items before hand, it was really tricky...especially for some plants as some weren't even named.

I was told by someone who came to Aquamania that we had the best plants around and the biggest bunches! You got a lot for your money! I was so proud! lol

Thinking too much is not a problem in this hobby, I find the opposite has landed me in hot water too many times over the years - being impulsive that is.

That is why you should check out the items on the table before hand.
There was lots of time for viewing.
We had enough OVAS club expertise at the auction that could identify the plants and other stuff.
