***NEW 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).
There are a few things people need to be aware of for auction -
General public are welcome to attend.
· All lots will be inspected on the night and any lots with deformed,unidentifiable or undersized fish will be removed.
· All lots will have the seller's forum name listed on the bag.
· Fish bagged incorrectly will not be accepted. No sandwich bags or zip-lock bags allowed.
· Please make sure your fish are adequately bagged. If they are large fish, put each in a separate bag.
· When booking lots, please use reserve prices sparingly for the expensive stuff. No reserves will be accepted below $20
· When bidding on the night please remember that collection and payment of lots will only take place at the end of the auction.
· At the end of the auction your lots will be collected and given to you by a committee member. Do not touch any lots.
