Important Announcement to Auction Sellers

 

The auctions have once again become a very popular event with many new sellers looking to sell their fish, plants, shrimp, equipment and perishables. With the goal of accommodating as many sellers as possible as well as continuing to attract regular and new buyers to the evening, we will be looking to make some changes to how we manage the lots listing that will be fair and equitable to all.

 

I will be calling for lots in the near future, so please take note of the information below. Please do not send lots until the formal announcement is posted.

 

 

AUCTION GUIDELINES

 

The number of auction lots will be at the discretion of the PCS Committee, however to ensure the evening does not run too late, the number of lots will be capped around 150. 

 

To assist sellers in determining what lots to submit, the following should be considered:

  • Cichlid lots will take preference to any other lots;
     
  • To encourage sellers to submit cichlid lots, the PCS has discounted the commission it will take from the sale price (5% vs 10% for non-cichlid lots);
     
  • While duplicate lots will be accepted, at the discretion of the PCS committee, lots may be removed in the interest of fairness and variety. Duplicate lots from the same seller will be those initially selected for removal. Duplicate lots from different sellers will be accommodated as best as possible. Sellers will be notified should this occur;
     
  • PCS will attempt to include all sellers submitting lots, however preference will be given to those submitting lots 2 weeks prior to auction night; and
     
  • All perishable items (e.g. food, chemicals, water treatments) will not be accepted unless they are sealed (i.e. unused).
