The usual amalgamation of fishy things...
Guppy grass
Hornwort
Limnobium
Water sprite
30" single fluorescent fixture (17W)
48" single fluorescent fixture (40W) that flickers (ballast?)
Pair of black paradise
Female firemouth (if she cooperates)
Box or two of old slate roofing tiles (whole and broken pieces - very groovy for aquascaping)
Yun's CF light bulbs (yet again)
Available on request:
2 1/2 gallon bucket of crushed quartz gravel - white, clean, dry and ready to use.
5-6 gallons of clean and dry polished river agate/gravel.
2 Whisper 100 air pumps if anyone wants them - will need to replace 3 of the 4 diaphragms as only one side of one pump works.
Plastic buckets so it would seem.

I'm tempted to request the Whisper 100's just for the satisfaction of throwing them away. I bought one used years ago, replaced one of the diaphragms twice in less than a month, and then it blew one out again. I have several of the old-style whisper air pumps that are still running fine after many years of use, and love the AP 300's for bigger tanks, but the blue dome 100 is about as useful as a Stealth Pro heater IMO.
I do have a plump (overfed and underexercised) adult male P. williamsi that would likely be happier in a tank bigger than the 75. Gets along well with ruby reds and perlmutts, BN and Lophiobagrus catfish, didn't play well with other williamsi.
Also have young ruby reds available, mostly females, a couple males are showing color now.
Have a dozen or so juvie eureka reds of various sizes, and 8 juvie (~1.5") Syno multi's available.
Always have BN pleco's, brown, albino, and/or super red over 2" now.

I told a similar tale of woe/disdain to a Tetra rep at a fish show and he pled off with a story about former lapses in Chinese quality control of rubber composites that I totally believe even if I did sort of put those very words in his mouth by asking what sort of cheap compound they were using to make diaphragms when there are materials available that can literally last for years. You're right - I'll put them in the recycle bin now as I also recall that Tetra was refusing to sell the diaphragms themselves separately from the entire assembly arm meaning that the cost is around half that of a new pump. As penance for the nearness of my sin I will donate everything I bring for the auction to CCA's Dedicated Francine Get Down With It Let's Party Fund. (Remind me when the next Jamboree is held and make sure I get invited this time, eh?).
Occurs to me that I'm spending entirely too much time not dancing.

I have a lot of plants I can bring but am out of fish bags. I can't recall if plants are permitted in the auction in zip-lock type bags. Anyone know for sure?

Plants are okay in ziplocks. They don't need water while they are for sale or trade.

I'm sure there will be some
I was planning on bringing some and there are usually quite a few in the auction.
I have gotten several emails from new people asking about the auction. Please remember that this is not an all day auction. It is a mini auction and the rulls are on the site. Check the "mini auction" tab on the left side of the forum portal page.
You may also want to print out your form and have it ready.
Couple of quick things,
There is a limit of items you can bring..... we must be out of the building by a certain time..... LOL. sorry, i had one person ask about how many pages of plants they could bring.... lol
