Memberships, new or renewal, will be accepted at the beginning of the auction.

Donations

Donations of money or goods to be sold at auction are always welcome.

Buyers

Anyone, including members, visitors or the auctioneer, can bid on fish or other items.

Sellers

Minimum bids will be permitted. Fish not sold on minimum bid will be returned to the seller at no cost. Please indicate MINIMUM BID on the auction form and on the bag in permanent ink.

Auction Forms

We have NEW auction forms. Please use the one provided in this newsletter and make more copies if needed. Copies will be provided at the auction.

Four bags per form. Bags need to be boxed or grouped with forms.

Please, NO MORE THAN 3 bags of the same fish.

Placing Auction Items

Place four auction items with one auction form per person per section of tables (sections one and two).

It is important that sections one and two have ONLY one set of four items per person so that everyone has an opportunity to have their items in "prime time."

Section three may have more than one set of four auction items.

Signs

Look for signs in the holding area to help you understand which tables are in each section. Also, look for other helpful signs.

Check Out

Items sold are grouped by bidder number and held in the holding area until the end of the auction.

We will be using a computer-based spreadsheet to track seller’s, bidder’s and items sold. This will hopefully speed up the process of checking out.

Payment for sold fish and other items need to be in the form of cash or check.

Miscellaneous

Professional type bags will be available for sale.

Once auction begins there will be no access to the holding area with the exception of auction volunteers. Bidders, please respect this as it is difficult to keep things organized and running smoothly if people are running in and out and moving items around.

FEBRUARY AUCTION DETAILS

Doors Open at 6:00 p.m., Bidding Begins at 6:30 p.m.

Auction items will only be available for close inspection until 6:25 p.m. so come early to find the items you want.

Do not put too many fish in each bag (you can rubber band multiple bags together if you want them sold as one item).

Do not feed the fish you will be bringing to auction (skip feeding the day before and day of the auction).

If you do a fifty percent water change (the day before the auction) on the tank the fish are coming out of you will reduce the amount of waste in the auction bag (assuming you put water from the tank into the bag).

Six fish will often bring the same bid as twelve.

Very aggressive fish should be bagged separately (they have been known to kill each other before the auction ends).

If you are in doubt, bring your fish in a bucket and get help bagging the fish at the auction.

Do not fill the bag more than 40% with water. (need room for air.)

Large fish or fish with sharp spines should be double or triple bagged to avoid punctures.

Take into consideration the size of the fish and provide a container large enough for it to easily turn around.
