Could you please explain what the La Sam Auction is? Location, what to expect and any other information you could give, please?

I plan on attending the Montreal auction. If anyone has an empty spot in their car, I will hop in. Let me know.



P.S. Worst case, if there is no one available. I might drive down myself and can take one or two people with me. I will post back again if this is the case.

LA SAM auction is the annual fall auction for the French club in Montreal. There is normally over 1000 items,  with lots of different fish available.

I'm driving up on sunday with AngelaM

Just a couple of notes for those going up
It is a cash auction,  there is no bank machine on site. The closest is about 2 blocks away and it charged like $4 for off brand change.
There are some drink machines there and I believe a snack one as well.
Typically they have muffins and pizza. There is not much very close, so anything else you need, make sure you bring.

They open up a Uni Burger very  close to the fish auction, 2-3 minutes walk.

Great burgers

Just a couple more questions, how long does it last and how long is the drive there and back?

It is about 2 hours to get there,  and really is a whole day event.

Another great event by La Sam.
8 members attended and enjoyed some nice deals and even some rare findings, was great to reunite with our old friends in Montreal and make new ones.
rivermuse was the big winner from OVAS, Winning a Zoo Med Canisterfilter, congrats rivermuse !

Thanks Matt and Charlie!

I think someone from Ottawa won a nice one last year as well. A big full tank set up I think.
