Annual Auction CNYAS AUCTION RULES - 2007 SELLER REGISTRATION is done prior to the auction day. Obtain your seller's ID (no other numbers will be accepted) and paperwork by calling 315/454-4792. To prevent your having to redo your Seller Form, items must be listed consecutively with no empty lines between items. The ID# on the form should correspond to the label you place on the item. Be sure that the label is readable or you may not get credit for the sale. Completed sheet(s) are to be taken to the registration table prior to the start of bidding. THERE IS A LIMIT OF 5 ON SIMILAR HARD GOOD ITEMS (examples: heaters, air pumps, filters, etc.) AND 5 BAGS PER SPECIE OF FISH OR PLANT. No exceptions! We are using the "10 table" system so place your item on the table that corresponds with the last number of your ID. For example, on Table 1 place items 1,11,21, etc.; on Table 2 place items 2,12,22 etc. Items brought in late will be auctioned off later on in the afternoon.
Equipment: Label each item and mark equipment that is not working properly, or is not in its proper brand name box (i.e., a Supreme Heater box contains a Supreme heater). CNYAS is not responsible for equipment purchased at the auction. Problems are resolved between the buyer and the seller. Livestock: Bag & label fish/plants properly in bags you obtain from pet shops, our monthly meetings, or at the auction. Double bagging is recommended and food storage bags will NOT be accepted. Fish labeled as a pair must be a male and a female. A $1 fee will be charged if any rebagging is necessary. Payments:
A check and a copy of your "Seller Sheet" will be mailed
out within 5 business days. Members receive 75% of selling price;
Non-members 70%.
BUYER REGISTRATION is done the day of auction. You must preregister as there are NO cash transactions on the floor. Fill out the Buyer Form and receive your ID number at the registration table. This number is to be held up for each item that you purchase. Volunteers will be keeping track of ID numbers, items and prices. Checking Out: Prior to leaving the auction pick up your "Buyer's Sheet" at the registration table and take it to the treasurer located at the exit for payment. Checks will be accepted from club members only, all others must pay in CASH. There will be no exceptions. Checking out will be suspended once the auctioneer starts selling items on Table 10. After the last item is sold, 15 minutes will be allowed for the computer operators to enter the remaining tags before anyone can check out.
