Teamsherman Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 How does the money side work? If I bring some fish to be auctioned do I keep the money or are the fish donated to the CS and they keep the proceeds? I haven't been to a meeting in about ten years or so!!!

intern1 Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 you have to be a member firstly secondly collect the lots which have been allocated then on the day bring the fish what they sell for (past reserve) NSWCS charge a commission on the sale.But if you cant bring fish I am sure there will be something there to suite your fancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ged Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 The NSWCS Major Auction will be held on the 3rd October. I believe that the September meeting was the last chance to get lots for the meeting. The guidelines can be found here. http://nswcs.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Auction_Rules_2013.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sorroz Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 "Yeah but without physically being there? Is it possible? As a buyer i mean " Short answer is No ..unless you have someone that can bid , pay for ,collect and ship them to you. You would be better off putting up a wanted post of what you are after and seeing if any one can supply and ship the fish to you . Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
