Looking to buy or sell aquariums, fish, plants, aquarium supplies…or whatever (just so it’s legal!)?
Wouldn’t it be great if:
– Your favorite vendors and hobbyists fish breeders all came together in a big room
– You didn’t have to wait around all day to buy
– You could sell your fish and supplies for what they were worth (vs. roll the dice in an auction)
– You could collect 100% of selling price
On Sunday, March 10, AquaMania will feature a Marketplace to do just that.
So how does it work?
To Buy in the Marketplace
Either register for the full event or entry to the Marketplace here or the day of the event. Registered attendees will have priority (early) access to the Marketplace (11:30 AM).
You will have access to a room full of vendors and aquarists selling a wide array of aquariums, fish, plants, supplies and other items. Each will have a table of goods for sale. Buy (and haggle!) away…
Terms and conditions of sale are entirely between individual purchasers and sellers. The Gaithersburg Hilton has free wireless to support access to Paypal for buyers and sellers who wish to use it.
A limited number of Styrofoam fish boxes, de-chlorinated water and fish bagging supplies will be available.
To Sell in the Marketplace
Selling in the Marketplace is as easy as buying a table and bringing aquariums, fish, plants, driftwood, decorations, whatever (that’s legal!) to sell.
We’ll bring the buyers – we have a marketing plan to attract both the regulars who show up at all the fish events…and also less experienced aquarists used to paying retail. And better yet, you concentrate your sales into a 3-4 hour block instead of missing the speakers and other festivities throughout the event waiting for drop-in customers (A very limited number of Vendor Tables are available in the main speaker / hospitality room on Saturday, March 9**).
In the Marketplace, the host club doesn’t take a cut*, you don’t have to roll the dice at an auction and you can choose to sell (or not sell) to whom and at whatever price you want. Terms and conditions of sale are entirely between individual purchasers and sellers. The Gaithersburg Hilton has free wireless to support access to Paypal for buyers and sellers who wish to use it.
Tables are $25 for registered attendees and $30 for non-registered ones. 2nd tables are also available (on a limited basis). Space and choice of location in the Marketplace is on a first come, first served basis, so register and purchase your spot today.
Sellers will be able to set up their tables between 8:30 and the first wave of buyers at 11:30 AM.
If you want to drive brand awareness, sponsor something. A list of sponsorship opportunities is here.
*What if I am a vendor and want to have a table during both the Marketplace and the day prior (during the speakers and other festivities)?
There are a very limited (4-5) six-foot tables available in the main speaker room
