Also, just a reminder to everyone. Pre-orders are great, it helps buyers plan and it helps you sell more stuff, but people must come into the marketplace to pick up their stuff. No parking lot pickups, please.

I'll be there with a table, and I'll have a pre order list up either tomorrow (Friday) or Saturday -- for registered attendees only.

I'll be sharing a table on Sunday. We will have:
Super red bushynose
Anubias
Dragon stone
River rock
Amazonas magazines
Air pumps
And probably other things I am not thinking of at the moment.

I don't take pre-orders. I do the "first come, first served" thing on Sunday morning.
Well due to the remodel over the last few years I don't have much.
Mostly the same things as before.
Auloncara ruby red Colored males
Auloncara chilumba Colored males
Auloncara maleri Colored males
Auloncara albino eureka red Colored males
Protomelas taeniolatus red empress Colored Males
Protomelas hertae - fry – small 1” or so
I also will have some items left from the remodel
Some used brass air valves
Some never used plastic air valves.
Some water valves from jehmco ( I had ordered the wrong ones the first time)
Possibly a few more items. I have them boxed up already and I am at work.

If I get a chance this weekend, I will post a video of the males.

Will there be other vendors at the marketplace besides what is on the forum as pre-orders? I would like to see items before buying.
Most people do not post up what they are bringing in.
you will see 20% at most on here. Probably a lot less than that.
If this year is like past years there will be tons of stuff.

The 7 weekend long vendors will all still be present, and last I knew we had over 30 other tables sold, with room for a few more. I've always been impressed with the quantity and quality of what was available, I think I've bought at least a few things every year. There generally isn't much of a preview, but I've seen people walking out with bags or boxes full of stuff they bought.

Wow only 20% on here? Thats cool. This is my first time to BFD. So the Market place opens at 10 am on Sunday and when is the Auction? Do people sell Friday and Saturday too?

Some of the vendors aren't necessarily on the forum, or they might not have a specific list until they put it together.
The auction is saturday night, anticipated start time of 8:30 PM.
There are 7 commercial vendors that will be selling friday and saturday too, fish, food, plants, hardscape, dry good, etc. At least some of them should be listed on the BFD site.

I'm hoping GWAPA has a table. I'm in dire need of fresh driftwood. And, one can never have enough plants that aren't really suited to your particular aquarium parameters--but you buy them just to try out, hoping something works.
And corydoras. I can never have too many of those.

Yes, GWAPA will have their usual table. Plus there are a few other GWAPA people that are having their own tables too.

I bet the line will start forming about 9:30.

Is this a line to get tickets or even though you have a ticket you still need to stand in line?

The line is where folks wait for the doors to open. Marketplace sellers need time to get set up and ready to go before the rush of people get in to start buying.

Oh so if I come later then I risk the chance of things being sold out?
Certainly
But then again, later may be better deals for some sellers. If they don't want to take things home.
Depends on the seller.
Also depends on how many fish a seller has. One of the types of fish I am selling, I will only have 3.

The room will not be out of stuff. That's for sure.
Some things yes, but there will be a bunch of stuff there.
3 years ago I sold all 72 fish in the first 3 hours.
Last year I took like 5 fish home. Never know.
