Monthly Auction
We
have an auction at every general meeting. This gives everyone
a chance to buy supplies and fish or to see something they have
on hand. Everyone can bid on an item as many times as they want.
The person who offers the highest price then pays the treasurer.
If
you wish to sell something at the auction, you collect the proceeds
from the treasurer; 25% (members) 30% (non-members) of the amount
is kept for the benefit of the society. Be sure to wrap the fish
securely and in bags with plenty of air. Special preprinted labels
and forms should be obtained from the Treasurer prior to the auction.
Mark all information about the fish on the outside and be careful
of temperature changes. Any and all items associated with the
aquarium hobby can be entered. All mechanical devices must be
labeled if they have any defects.
Items
raffled might be aquarium pumps, heaters, filters, plants, fish,
live food cultures, aquariums, books, etc. Donations are always
welcome. If you have an item that you do not wish to get money
for, it will be stated by the auctioneer that it is a donation
to the society.
