That was a fun swap meet and it was my first one as a seller. It was nice to see everybody that made it down here today. I ran into people I haven't seen/worked with in about 10 years and one of them was Renee's significant other. This year's meet was twice as big as last year's. It's an annual event. Lot's of good deals and a wide variety of live and dry goods. I was fortunate enough to not spend one dollar, but Shelly was not so lucky! She picked up a nice 46 gallon tank from Mark. Russ donated $21 dollars with of Vallisneria nana. Thanks Russ!

Is there anything like it that any of you have been to in another (nearby) state or another part of this state?

I think an even bigger one might be worth traveling to.

I was not so fortunate as Rob not to spend a dollar. I spent several of those suckers... every one in my pocket actually. I walked out with 8 tens, 7 glass tops, 2 lights for my 2.5Gs, a glass top for my 20L, some cladophora algae balls... I think next time I will have to remind myself that justifying purchases is much easier when one brings things to sell.

Spare a cucumber. Eat a pickle.

I didn't even think of looking for glass tops. Maybe next year.

We already spent more than we intended to spend there. It'll be a couple of weeks of vegetable soup for meals now.

Were the glass tops cheap?

As for justifying purchases by selling something, I used to do that at the Dayton Hamvention. I would set up a table and sell all of my old computer stuff. That would pay for the table, which also allowed me early entry into the Hara Arena to see things before the general public would see them. It gave me a rallying point for my friends, too, who would take a turn at watching the table every so often. Maybe next time I'll have something to sell.

I got 7 glass tops for ten gallon tanks. They were 7 for $20. I lucked out. I got a NIB glass top for my 20L for $8. I also got 8 ten gallon tanks for $25.

I should have looked for glass tops! We have some crude single piece ones for out 10 gallons but that's cheaper than having a shop cut the glass! I would like to find a couple more glass tops for our 55 gallon tanks and would be interested in some for our 29 gallons, too. The single piece of glass is not convenient to work with.

Does GCAS have a swap forum?
