Sellers - Reserve your tables on the "Event Registration" tab. Please note the layout is a little different. Simplified one price of $10 per table if you pre-register. If you wait till the day of the event, the price goes up to $15.  We do have the option to allow you to wait to pay at the event, so you will want to lock in those tables before Swap Day! If you want a corner location or a long row, you may want to select two tables.

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?

Fish hobby related items only!
HAAS will provide table only. Seller provides everything else.

See pricing information on the registration form. Note you can only select one table number per registration. Sellers are allowed to register for multiple tables if you need more room. Once a table number has been selected, it will no longer be available to select from the list. Don't forget to register early to ensure you get the table you want!
