Michael7979 Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 So who is going to go? Looking to get an idea since it hasn't been a big topic of conversation lately. I'm waiting to hear back but I plan on going again this year even though my tank WILL NOT be ready. I do have a 'holding" tank up and running so if I can't control myself and I have to buy something I can keep it. SO WHO"S GOING? LET"S HAVE A SHOW OF HANDS! Quote
ThePremiumAquarium Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Wish I could go. Too bad I will be on my honeymoon in Mexico! Garrett Quote
Michael7979 Posted July 15, 2008 Author Posted July 15, 2008 Ill be working a booth there What booth? Got just buy my tix now........ Quote
spectra Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Will be there my ticket showed up in the mail today(clap) Quote
andy Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 We should get together for breakfast beforehand. Annie's Donuts isn't too far from the CFM Quote
stylaster Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Ill be helping out at the Reef Corals booth with Scott Quote
dsoz Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 I may be there, but without any money. I volunteered to bring the TFT tank for the PNWMAS booth. All my cash went to the deck project. It started out as $1000, then jumped to $2000. And it is not done yet (almost there!) :( No money for pretty corals. :( dsoz Quote
matty Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 I have never attended one of these. What are they like? Good deals? Thanks! Quote
Michael7979 Posted July 17, 2008 Author Posted July 17, 2008 I have never attended one of these. What are they like? Good deals? Thanks! There will be some corals there for sell that you would probably or maybe have to get on a 'wait list' if you wanted to buy them. And you will get a feel for what others pay for,(price) and recieve, (frag size) from some website vendors. Last year I realized how lucky we are to have more then one great shop in the 'Portland area'. I had a great time at the event last year thou. I know last year that Steve Tyree brought 5-6 sunset monti. pieces to sell that 'were' harder to find last year. Quote
andy Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 I wasn't there last year, but my expectation for this year is a great selection of 'elite' corals... with prices to match (no negative connotation intended). Quote
markdadof2 Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 dsoz....my deck project went exactly like yours last year..it snowballed really fast. I have part two to finish up this year! Quote
Nyles Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 I do decks professionally if you need tips just pm, or ask. As for CFM this is mostly for stuff you normally can't get or the LFS wants tons of cash for, but you will have something very nice if you shop. Quote
Michael7979 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Posted July 30, 2008 So one last 'bump' to see if any others will be coming. Well........? Quote
sontdo Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 I just got my ticket. I hope to find few exotic corals. Got to bring alot money. Do they take credit card? Quote
Kevinmc Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 I have never been to one, looking forward to meeting our gang and being able to put a face to all of this screen names. Hey, I hope to see you there ! ! ! Kevin Quote
sontdo Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Yeah this is my first time. I'm excited to this event. Hope to get a good deal. Should we meet at a booth? Otherwise how do you who is who? I'll be there early at 10:30AM. See you guys there. Quote
dsoz Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 It is not that big of a place. It is only one room, and maybe 6 or 7 booths. Last year there were only 4 vendors, and a couple of other booths (PNWMAS, etc.). Just introduce yourself to people hanging around the PNWMAS booth. Maybe nametags would be a good idea. ??? Both real name and screen name so people know who they are talking to (or about). dsoz Quote
slimy fish Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Hi everyone, I just thought I would pass this on. I heard that a few of the venders will have wireless laptops and will accept payment using paypal. I thought this might be helpful. Quote
Michael7979 Posted July 31, 2008 Author Posted July 31, 2008 Got to bring alot money. Do they take credit card? Yeah bring lots of cash!!! last year one or two vendors were calling back to their 'stores' and running credit cards that way. Not sure if it will happen again but it did last year. Bring lots of cash!! Quote
