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!!!

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

For those that haven't been before or those that just need a refresh

Those who have secured their lots book in time is between 12:00pm and 1:15pm -

Auction starts 2:00pm

Where: Nuwarra Public School, Mckay Ave Moorebank

Entering Lots:

Don’t forget to pack 8 bags per foam box and number them from 1-8. This will ensure our auction

steward will select lots in the correct order so that equity in our auction process can be achieved.

There will be a 2 stage scrutineering process adopted at this auction. Your bags will be checked

and their contents scrutinised for correct identification and health of the fish. Due to their special

needs large fish are not to be placed in buckets but should be double bagged in suitable large

bags ,cichlids 7.5 cms and larger as well as fish known to be aggressive in nature must be

bagged individually. In the second stage your paperwork will be checked off and your fish moved

to the holding area.

Please help us out and ensure that all ‘book in’ sheets are completed using both the scientific and

common names (you may access a species list from our Website. Although the site is a work in

progress the species list there may assist you with this task). This allows your fish to be entered

into the database and if available a photo will be displayed. This is important not only for the

sellers but also for the buyers wanting to see what a fish typically looks like.

Time will be saved if the correct procedures are taken from the start, otherwise you will have to

correct the problem before the lots will be accepted and this may delay the start of the auction.

The welfare of the livestock is paramount for the club, remembering that we would like the best

conditions possible over a day that may see the fish bagged for 15 hours or more.

Remember if you are selling fish please do not feed them 24-48 hours before bagging them. Also

remember to add some Prime or an equivalent and if at all possible please use O2.

Tape over labels on bags with wide clear tape and add lot number with permanent marker.

No coloured or printed bags, Clear Bags only will be accepted

Multiple bags to be placed inside a larger bag or securely taped around as well as across from

the top to bottom of bags using wide clear tape ..not household sticky tape.

Viewing

There will be no viewing of the lots due to the mishandling of fish in previous auctions and for the

welfare of the livestock in general. There have been a considerable number of complaints

regarding this matter. The auctioneers will be only to happy to describe the lots for you as they

come up, a photo wherever possible will be displayed during the auction and the runners can

show you the fish throughout the process as well

We know that you will understand our reasons for not allowing this practice to continue.

Bagging Station and Trade Table

If you need to re-bag your purchases you can do so for $1 at the bagging station.

a committee member will be manning the O2 and bagging station for the auction and the Trade

Table will also be in operation

Who can sell fish?

Only financial members with allocated lots may sell their fish at our Major Auctions. Unfortunately

new members joining on the day are unable to sell any fish, but are most welcome to grab a

bargain

Bidders cards for visitors will incur a $5 fee.

Remember

The auction will start at 2pm sharp at Nuwarra Public School, McKay Ave. Moorebank, and is for

fish, or aquarium related products only.

All items to be auctioned must be booked in between 12:00 noon and 1:15pm

All lots must be adequately marked with the name and number of fish, plus the reserve price if

any.

Fish lots that are not labelled with the correct name of the fish or without a name will be

immediately passed in.

etc…per Member Allocation

- A total maximum of Three (3) lots of dry goods…per Member Allocation

Read the information on the back of your lots/ book in sheet and sign where indicated

Fish must be properly bagged. A charge of $1 will be payable where it is necessary to add

oxygen or to re- bag the lot.

All bids will be in whole dollar units. Bids will be in minimum amounts of $1 increments from $1 to

$20. $2 increments from $20 to $50. $5 increments beyond $50 and $10 bids after $100.

If anybody is interested in assisting the committee on the day, please make yourself known to us.

Without the help of our volunteers the major auctions would not be as successful or enjoyable as

they are for both members and visitors and of course your committee.

The committee looks forward to seeing you all on the day

"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 .
