It’s a toy store of live corals,fish,dry goods like a farmer market for us reefers

Can someone explain what these frag swaps are like[/quote]
You really have to go. TONS of corals, inverts and stuff at VERY competitive prices. Find hard to locate corals, make friends and a great time!
And raffles!!!
And by the way, DRC’s 3rd annual frag swap will be coming up shortly at William Penn High School in New Castle, DE. Please tell your friends!!!
The name swap makes it sound like you just have a bunch of people come in one place and contiously trade and pawn off corals to each other witch sounds cool or is it more like an expo with vendors. Also cool or is it both ?
I think originally that’s what it was. Clubs hobbyist gather up together and do swap/trade. Now it’s larger than that. Most frag swaps have live corals, fish and dry goods. Some have guest speakers and demo as well. Fun times for reefer freaks like me.
Those of you that I talk to tonight and part of our frag swap committee. Please PM me your email addy so that we can do a group email and pass info to each other so that we can keep everyone in the loop.
Our first agenda is of course vendors. Please police reef forum, local reef clubs and see what and who local vendors we can contact for our frag swap.
Todd (Sneeyatch) do you know any vendors or anyone down in VA beach would like to join us up here for our frag swap?
Once the dates official and told to me there’s a 95% chance ill come .
Can I bring some frags to swap/ trade ? With vendors and others or is that a no.
And what kind of fish are there all kinds of SW or just the regular old CB CLOWNFISH?
Sorry for being annoying I’m just trying to find out as much as I can about these things so I know what’s coming once I go to them

not annoying at all Qfinz96. Ask away, we’ll try to answer your questions the best we can.
As for selling frags at the swap. Only our paid premium and vendors are allowed to sell. Some vendors do bring fish, but mostly coral frags that you will find.

Thanks Todd. That would be great.
Long anticipated date for the swap is a go. Sat 17th May is the date!!! we have lots to do and vendors to get. Lets get the ball rolling!!!
Great job A!
I will mark my calander and start broadcasting. A, when you have a Flyer made up, post it on here so I can print a few out.
I’ve been in touch with HRRC already and there’s no issue for us advertising on the site. Even though I’m a mod over there, I like to ask so I don’t ruffle feathers from 250 miles away 
I’ll get in touch with RRC too and see if there’s any interest there.
I’ll keep you all updated.

What about trades can we trade with vendors? What’s a paid premium memeber

A can you please clarify … is it Premium members and Vendors can set up tables only? I always figured anyone that wanted to register on fragswapper could make arrangements to sell things at the swaps. They just can’t set up a table to do so.
Correct Craig. They may do as you said with Fragswapper, but they can not set up a table unless they go through my self or our fragswap committee. With a fee as well of course.
What if someone else, like from another club or just someone wanting to sell frags wants in to set up a table?
Shouldn’t they be allowed in and charged a fee for a table.
Sorry, I type too slow!!! :BB)
