Live sales schedule

Gtinnel · Oct 4, 2021

Is there a list or calendar somewhere of what live sales are coming up? I know that at least sometimes they get scheduled pretty far in advance. It's getting old that I miss live sales because I have plans with the family. How dare my family make me miss out on good deals on corals...LOL.

Not sure there’s a calendar but it seems like they’re going on every weekend! If there’s specific vendors you’re interested in I would reach out to them directly or visit their websites. I would be surprised though if there wasn’t some kind of calendar on here

It isn't a bad idea though to have a forward looking calendar. Some of the bigger names advertise for a while beforehand on the banner but many just appear, and are done.

I think it would serve both the partner companies as well as R2R members.

There is one in particular that I was hoping for that I thought they had one in October but I may be wrong. I'd be surprised if there isn't a list somewhere, that I've probably just missed somewhere. If not I'll just reach out to them.

I'd still prefer to see a list so I can keep my options open to other vendors as well.

Absolutely! What vendor are you interested in?

I bought from a live sale from ARC towards the beginning of the year and they gave the dates of their next live sale which I think was this month (I very likely could be wrong though). That's how I know that at least sometimes they get scheduled really far in advance, because I believe they have to bid on the date.

ARC mostly.

Ah that’s my local LFS. They are having one this weekend. I was there the other day and they had A LOT of frags cut up

So I was able to search for the live sale back in March and they did say they have a live sale this month, but didnt give an exact date. Hopefully my wife hasn't already made plans for that weekend.

Ah crap, I was hoping it wasn't this coming weekend. Thanks for letting me know though.

I'd absolutely love to visit their store sometime. Maybe I can talk the wife to taking a trip to Niagara falls then conveniently realize it's near ARC.

ETA- Plus I was hoping to get a few extra weeks to give the wife a little extra time to quit complaining about the $900 I just spent on lights.

It’s a great store. If you’re into SPS it’s a must visit

I'm starting to find myself buying SPS more than anything else recently. It's a 13 hour round trip so now I just need to find some reason that the rest of the family would want to go to Buffalo.

I've already scheduled a beach trip for next summer that just happens to take us past WWC, LOL.

Lol very crafty. Niagara Falls is definitely a good reason, even though the Canadian side is better. Lots of good food, breweries, wineries, and decent golf

Yes there is a calendar for live sales. At the top of the screen you’ll see calendar and select month. Then you’ll see a list of boxes that have been filled in for life sales. October 9 will be a reef creation live sale.

Awesome thanks. So I only access the forum with my cell phone and apparently to see it I have to turn my phone so it's in landscape.
