It's time for the GSAS.org Aquatic Plant and Animal Auction. All the best cuttings and spawns from GSAS members, plus another generous order of plants from Florida Aquatic Nurseries. This is one of our two main yearly fundraisers for the non-profit club, and pays for bringing in national and international speakers for our monthly meetings (and our rent! lol)
For the third year, we are at Upper Gwinn Commonsl at Seattle Pacific University, same campus as our monthly meetings and Holiday Party. Click on Google directions above, or on the map to see details of the area. Please park FREE in the Dravus lot to the Southeast of the building. A very small amount of accessible parking and load/unload space is available at the North side of the building as well. Outside food is not allowed inside the room...but directly downstairs is the SPU cafeteria and an Einstein Bros Bagels.
This is a marathon auction so BRING A WATER BOTTLE! The pace is fast and furious. Last year the auction had over 800 items which sold in 5 hours - that's over 2-1/2 items per minute! Bidding starts at 10:00 AM, preview and setup at 9:00 AM. We go until everything's gone (likely around 2 - 3 PM).
GUESTS ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND AND BID!!
Only GSAS.org members can sell. Members please read the auction guidelines for more information in that there is a few changes this year Also members, please pre-register your items because registering at the auction may not be available.
Also members please remember this is live items only! Please leave tanks, logs, CO2 equipment and fertilizer for our BIG General Auction in April. Check Airstone and our Facebook page for updates and photos of the plant order and what members are bringing!
Sellers: We are again offering 70/30 split in your favor. And for this auction, we are introducing Table One, a special table for your #1 item (make sure to put the item first when you pre-register it). Table One will be fully auctioned before any other items are sold or pushed.
We hope to see you there!
