BAR 2018 Annual Regional Frag Swap
- Thread starter Wlachnit
- Start date
Tim Plaza. Doubt he'd be interested, but we can ask.
The other question with sellers there is do we allow "frag swap packs" to be sold? There's some members against this (@Coral reefer ) in theory.

I am against it. I much prefer people to bring their own captivelt propagated corals. I feel adamant about this for the members swap, but only strongly about it for the regional swap.
Probably not good timing for Jon at Your Reef. He had a large set-up at Macna and was already worried about not having enough stock for ReP in early October. Plus he's probably still hung over from Vegas.

Wonder how he did at MACNA, I did a double take when I saw his booth, not only that it was a double wide booth area.
I wondered that too. Not the size so much, but how many people would buy mass frags at buy 9 get 6 free, etc to take home long distance.

Well it's a good market to have, not everyone can have <insert farmer name> <insert ironic/hipster common name> Acro for sale where if sell a handful of frags your booth is paid for. Besides at $1400 for the smallest/cheapest boost size you need to sell a lot of product to make it worth it, ignoring of course the advertising that it gives your company where now people might be "heck I'll order from them now"

Posted on RC Bay Area and MARS last week. I've been telling vendors ~60 people...given that we had ~50 at our Member swap earlier this year.
Talked to Tim Plaza today. He's to lazy to do set-ups. 
Shall I talk to others?

I also expected Tim to say no. It's too bad. He's got great corals and I've had good success with the frags I've gotten from him. And, it seems that everytime he swings by for the last few months...I'm always outa townTalked to Tim Plaza today. He's to lazy to do set-ups.

I'm grabbing a frag or two from him on Friday. If you can't meet up with him I can grab yours.
