  • THE OFFICIAL Don Scott fundraiser garage sale/donation thread

    MANY MORE ITEMS WILL BE UP THIS WEEKEND!
    FEEL FREE TO MAKE AN OFFER IF THE PRICE IS TOO HIGH.

    Don Scott has been in the industry for more than 30 years now. He is one of the, if not, most knowledgeable freshwater persons I have EVER met. This man knows everything about every fish imaginable. He currently works at Fish Gallery. He has also worked at the old Village store, Fish Ranch, and so many other places I can't even remember. I dont have a picture but will try to get one soon. He is an older white gentleman that reminds me very much of Santa Clause. If you have ever had freshwater tanks, I am almost positive you have run into him somewhere, sometime.

    Recently, his wife was admitted into the hospital with life threatening diseases. We are not sure she is going to make it. Out of respect, I do not want to go into details but it is NOT looking good. The medical bills are piling up and Don simply cannot afford it. Don has been one of my closest friends and he ALWAYS has a smile on his face and will spend hours talking to you and answer all questions with the best attitude.

    HE NEEDS OUR HELP GUYS. I am selling a lot of my personal items and many others have already started to donate old tanks, equipment, whatever they can. This man has helped so many people get into the hobby over the past 30 years and I think its our turn to pay him back. If you would like to make a donation or even write a simple letter, please contact me and I will make sure it gets to him. I work part time and I wish I could give more. 100% of EVERYTHING posted in this sale thread will go to the Scott family. I will price things fairly high since I am trying to raise as much as I can. If you have anything you would like to donate, please contact me and I will even drive to pick it up free of charge (up to 5ft tanks) or you can simply drop it off at Fish Gallery which is located on:

    4527 Lomitas St
    Houston, TX 77098
    (713) 523-3474 MAKE SURE YOU tell them that it is for Van's fundraiser for Don or they might think you are donating it to the store.

    You can also call or text (text preferred) me at 832-630-3890. Pms are fine as well.

    Lets give back to someone that has given us all so much. He is one of the nicest persons I have EVER met.
    If you want to remain anonymous, please let me know in advance.

    I will be adding items daily. Please remember that all sales go to the Scott family.

    This is a great idea and yes Don is a industry leader and we should all help where we can.

    Is Fish Gallery going to run any specials where part of the purchase will go to the family.

    Screenname your efforts are appreciated.

              I may sell ALL of my tanks. Keep an eye out. It all depends on how many donations I can get.

                If someone were to donate some of the following i would make a nice donation.

                1) Frontosa
                2) Clown Loaches
                3) Large River Rock or such for a 125 gallon tank.

                That's my current wish list.

                  Van - I have some items in the garage I was saving for the next auction that I will donate. I don't know Don personally, but have always found him to be very helpful and friendly. When we meet up, I will pass those items along.

                  5 gallon - planted red cherry shrimp breeder

                      I'm assuming you are referring to the mag 7.....

                      It pushes 700gph and it's going for 40 bucks.
