What about the auction

I heard there was an auction. So I went on SOFAR's website and there is heaps for auction. There is lots more then last year. Some stuff will be silent auction where you can bid through the day until I think about 11.30 am the higest bid wins, you just have to pay for item and collect before 3 pm. By the sounds of it there will be over 30 stalls this year which includes breeders and business. By the sounds of it stalls are filling fast with only a few left.

Just send me some money and I'll bid for you at the auction. I might be able to convince Rodentfarm to put a few Rabbits in the auction if you send enough $s. That way you can have your fun and support the lacal hobby.

Thats a good idea Warrick..........
If the rabbits are 450g each and the bids dont get any higher that $4 each, I'll grab about 50 of them........

Are the reptiles sold at stalls as well? or are they only acquired through auctions. I havn't got my license yet and was wanting to put a deposit on one if i like one and pick it up when i get the license.

Yes vendors will be selling reptiles over the weekend.I'm sure someone will look after you regarding holding one until your lic comes through.

 

[OReilly]

Hopefully i can find a couple from Newcastle or The Hunter Valley. I'm not willing to go to Sydney or further to get just one. Does anyone recall a stall selling beardies from Newy or The Hunter Region?
