Big Thanks to the people that put this event together

Congrats. I felt the sps selection was a little weak, I ended up not getting a single one. The softie and lps selections were pretty good. I especially liked the zoa guy from Michigan near the entrance, I got two different ones.

And pretty expensive for the most part. I got only one I was not going to pay 60-100 dollars for a frag on a plug.

You should have stopped by.
All but two of my pieces were $25.00 or less.

Yes,I saw your display and you prices were very good, probably best at the swap. Unfortunately, it was not what the tank was asking for

I think you had great pieces, and I was very tempted. That Crayola Plans was especially nice.

Volcano1 · 05/01/2016, 04:01 PM

The Plana is one of my nicest, if not the nicest in my tank.
Thanks to all who did stop by, trying to keep prices at hobbiest
levels.
Unfortunately I do see why some stuff sells as high as it does. If you paid big bucks for a frag and grow it out, you need get something back.
I'm lucky to be to the point most of my stuff is large enough to need some trimming from time to time. I'm out in the boonies , so most frags get to grow 6-12 months between swaps.

I unfortunately wasn't able to attend the swap, but would like to get a piece of the crayola, what part of the Boonies are you in?

Congrats on the winnings CHEWAL that's a nice gift.

I thought the swap was cool. I was able to get some cool stuff. The only thing I think they should do differently was the fact that the people hosting should not be able to enter the raffle. It's a conflict of interest situation.

Theyre all volunteers and play by the same rules. Fair game.
