Hi! I’m a new member and don’t know what you mean about posting stuff on the auction. Can folks view the items before the actual auction? How? Thanks.

 

[DrEgg]

We have created an auction for the September 10th in-person CCA meeting. Users of the website must register on the CCA MyGroupAuction website: mygroupauctions.com. Sellers are encouraged to upload a photo of the fish/item to be auctioned. These items can be viewed by all registered users before the auction.


As always, donations are welcomed.


Please review the auction rules.

Thanks for sharing this information. I created an account for the auction site, but there apparently is nothing there. Am I missing something?

 

[JLW]

There are apparently two CAPI groups in My Group Auctions. One has a misspelling in the name.

The one with the misspelling is the one you want. Both appear to use CAPI as the name.

That is SO funny! I intentionally picked the correctly spelled group, thinking it was a correction and therefore the more current group. Just goes to show that logic doesn’t always lead you to the right answer!😊

 

[JLW]

Hey, we're chiclid poeple here! Spelling is optional!

It looks like it is fixed -- as near as I can tell, there should only be one Capital Cichlid Association. However, it looks like the auction is empty.
I don't know if that means no one has added anything to the auction yet, or if my getting it fixed screwed things up... either is equally possible.
BUT, if you did add items already, you may have to readd them, and you can blame me for that. Sorry, not sorry.

 

[Biomom]

I now see a handful of items. They look nice, and I hope there will be more! By the way, I assume we are bidding in person and not on the site - correct?

 

[DrEgg]

Bidding in person only.
