Announcing the 3rd Annual OVAS Garage Sale and Membership Drive!
Date: Saturday September 24 2011
Time: 10:00am - 2:00pm
Place: J.A. Delude Arena in our usual meeting room
New this year:
This year we are stepping things up a notch. Not only have we invited all of our sponsors to participate in the event, paid OVAS Members get FREE table space AND we will be setting up a designated frag swapping area! There will be raffle prizes and many more surprises, so mark it on your calendars today!
The frag swapping has been canceled due to a lack of interest, but the garage sale and membership drive is still happening on schedule!
Table space:
Each paid OVAS member will get a 1/2 table for FREE!
Any non-paid member (Forum only member) will get a 1/2 table for $5.00.
If anyone needs more space, please indicate that on your RSVP and it will be divided equally on a first come, first serve basis AFTER the RSVP date. Please feel free to bring multiples of an item and keep it in a cooler or a box under the table so you can replenish the table items as they are sold.
Frag Swappers:
If you are swapping Frags, please indicate this when you RSVP.
RSVP Deadline:
September 18th 2011 at 11:59pm. Please PM me or email me with your RSVP. My email address is in my OVAS Profile if you click on my name. After this point, we will start dividing the remaining table space among those who have already sent in their RSVP. If there are any tables remaining after everyone has the extra tables that they requested, we will make them available to late comers. Please include the following information with your RSVP:
Real name
Types of items you will being (categories such as filters, swordtails, etc will be ok if you don't feel like getting specific)
The number of additional tables you would like if they are available
If you plan on being a frag swapper - if you do, please be very specific in what you're bringing to swap
Disclaimer: OVAS is not accountable for any lost or stolen items during this event. By sending your RSVP, you acknowledge that you must take full responsibility for your own items during this event.
Hi I will be needing at least 3 tables for this event. I am willing to pay for these extra table Please let me know how much Thanks James
You can put me down for a table. ;)
Anything special about the membership drive, or is it a straight forward "membership available for purchase" thing?
It's an even that we hold in September before the meeting where people can go to easily buy a membership and check out some fish and equipment for sale.
Our membership fee is only $20 :)
Would OVAS yearly memberships be sold at
The garage sale? :)
It's a steal of a deal...$20 for the whole year!! ;D
10 more days until the RSVP deadline everyone...and so far not a single swapper has registered! Let's go salty guys! You're getting what you asked for!
Fresh water people...let's fill up these tables!
I would love to be able to attend as I have a tank overflowing with frags to sell/swap but I have another commitment that day.
It would be nice if we could advertise the list of plants people will be selling.

I only need half a table, too. We can share one again, if you want.
It's the weekend before the Garage Sale RSVP deadline everyone! Take some time this weekend to de-clutter your fish rooms or storage boxes and come out to the Garage Sale!
The deadline is Sunday at midnight!
So what are you guys bringing?
I will have some fishies...angels, cardinals, some tetras and of course Discus! ;) Get your tanks ready! 8)
A couple of plants...amazon swords, anubias-nana & barteri.
Some driftwood & manzanita wood
Other odds and ends...heaters, filters, glass tops, airlines
Whatever else I can find. I am hoping to work on clearing out my fishroom to get a good selection of stuff. I may need 2 tables, lol
I'd need half a table please.
I'll be bringing hornwort, guppy grass, platies, rocks and a light fixture good for a DIY project (T10 in need of a new starter). And possibly other odds and ends.

Dorrie and rockgarden, you're in! :)
Just under 4 hours left to RSVP everyone!!
There have been some changes to the GArage Sale...not a big deal, but I just wanted to post about it.
The frag swapping was a complete bust. Despite the amount of interest in it before, I only had 1 person RSVP that he could brings frags to swap. I'm not too sure where everyone went! So, since a one person frag swapping event will be pretty silly, it's canceled.
If there are any people out there who still want to participate in the Garage sale, please PM me. We won't turn you down until all the tables are filled...and we still have a few more!
For those of you who have requested extra tables, they're yours!
Hi Is ther any extra space left I had requested some extra space and had not heard from anyone yet. I will need at least one table ,That is if it is at least 8 ft l
long. Thanks Oh and how early ca you set up Thanks James
Hi
I will be bringing quite a bit of stuff, so I have to economize my space. I have several tanks, hoods, heaters and filters. Is there anything specific that they are looking for ie certain size tanks
James
A reminder to everyone.
If you are selling, please bring money to make change! OVAS will not be handling the cash transactions at the garage sale.
I'm bringing fish! Zebra Danios, a red micky mouse platy, a blue platy, a few juvie kribs, filters etc :)
How did the garage sale go? Hopefully well!!
I'll be getting home just before the monthly meeting, so I'll see everyone then :)
I can only speak for myself, but it was nice to see some familiar faces and look at all the stuff. I was only there for a short time but the turn out and crowd seemed about the same as last year.
too quiet in my opinion, it was nice to see familier faces but there weren't many outsiders and I had to give stuff away in order not to bring it home :(
Membership sales did well though!
It was fun but very quiet. Didn't sell much, but at least just enough to pay for my membership :)
