Sellers - Reserve your tables on the "Event Registration" tab at www.kcfishclub.org.

What is it? Think of this a one huge flea market / garage sale focused on the aquatic hobby. Deals will be found everywhere. Fish, equipment, food, etc. will all be for sale.

Why are we having a swap meet? Why not another auction? We wanted to give people a different... venue - one where they can talk one on one with the breeder of the fish or the person with knowledge about the things they are selling. Another advantage is that you know what time it will end at! Sellers - all you pay for is the table - you keep 100% of the proceeds.

What will your strategy be? First in line to find that hard to get species of fish? Last to buy right before the bell to steal that bag of fish so the "owner doesn't have to take it home"? Or will you pace yourself - learning as much as possible - making the decisions throughout the day. How about all three?
