I'd be more concerned about the cash only part. How come they don't take plastic? I can't go anyway, the drive back to colorado would suck. lol

Not all clubs are setup to take credit cards. It is hard to justify having a merchant account and a card reader for 1 or 2 days a year. Our club auctions are cash only.

I always hated opening day. Way too many boats on the water. I used to take my boat out on weekdays. Lot less traffic. Now I just go out on charters 3 or 4 times a year.

Have no fear the stimulus package money will be arriving soon and then we can all afford $2.00 for anything.

How about this:
Tell me when you get to the Reg Table that you are from the CCA and I will waive the $2 for a bidder card.

mrkillie would have to join the CCA first!
Okay, this has gone on long enough.
Looking at other web sites this appears to be a
common thing up north. The ECC is also taking a lot smaller cut on the auction then most others north east of us.
This forum is for fish fun, fish learning and general good times.

"Maybe we should start charging for the wings, it's just $2"
Could we put out a coffee can with a slot in the lid for those who wish to drop in a voluntary donation?
Every little bit helps!

Our site is giving a 70/30 split to anyone who pre-registers...thanks for mentioning this Pat.
My mention of giving a free bidder card is to anyone who is a member here.
If I offended anyone by getting into this conversation then I apologize.
I hope to see some of you on 04-04 at the ECC Spring Auction, and I hope to meet all of you on May 9th, as we are bringing a small entourage down to the CCA May Meeting.

You're quite gracious and I don't think you offended anyone (or at least me)!
You can have some free wings when you come to visit our club...

Fat chance of that now!
Actually, I was at the Feb. meeting and had my application all filled out with $20 in an envelope in my jacket pocket, and took my jacket off when I got there and forgot all about it. Maybe next time.

I did mine via mail - I knew I'd forget when I finally get to go to a meeting this April
I don't see how offering to waive the fee would offend anyone. Thanks for the offer (and thanks to KBeaudean for the offer to pay the fee).
But seriously, for me, it's not the money, it's the principal. Like Julie said, apples and oranges-I'd rather spend my money on apples (fish) than oranges (a paper card that is useless). And it helps me to determine which auctions I will attend because there are quite a few. I try to do 1-2 each spring and 1-2 each fall, with a major convention or something (usually the AKA, but this year the ACA) at least every other year.

You missed my entire point.
No big deal.
Hey dogowar, some of us ECC guys are pretty big guys...not so sure that I would offer any of us FREE food!
