What I'd like to see at this Auction is something that was missing from all but one of the exhibitors selling T's at the expo.
Photos. I'd like to see photos of what the T I'm bidding on will look like as an adult. There are so many T's I can't remember all the scientific names and what they will look like when purchasing as slings or if they are in an enclosure full of webbing.

Then best you buy a couple beers, sit down and do a bit of T homework on google tonight! lol

Impos to have pics of all the diff Ts mate! unless people bring their own for the Ts they selling!

If this is going to be a regular annual or biannual auction then the auctioneer should have a catalog with adult photos of the T's being offered for sale.
As he starts the bidding he holds up the catalog opens to the relevant T. Shows the bidders and continues from there. You may get higher prices if more people are bidding. Especially from newer T collectors wanting to expand their collection.

Just an idea.

Nonsense...

Now listen to an old fart.

We get a notebook/laptop thingy with some sort of dongle that can connect to the interweb...
We get an overhead data projector thingy...
We shine a google image of the relevant spider on a white little canvas...
We uhmm... ok that's it.

Easy if you have brains hey...

This auction is a great idea fangs and scarab, just found out about it. I'll see you guys there... But I know what's gonna happen: I'm going to auction of a few spiders and then just buy others. I guess you can say it's going to be a 'spider-swop' day for me, instead of an auction. It's going to be exciting!

Do you guys have a projector or do you need one?

PLEASE... and a notebook thingy with a dingle that can inject into the interweb...
