1. Anyone may donate items to the club for auction. Receipts from donated items
will go into the club treasury. Sellers are encouraged to donate items to help
fund club activities.
2. Only SVAS members in good standing (current dues paid, all auction items paid)
are permitted to sell items.
4. No items may be removed from the auction table after being registered.
5. Juvenile fish should be large enough to enable positive identification.
6. Fish must be bagged properly! No sandwich or Zip-Lock storage bags allowed.
Please double-bag all fish!
7. All bags must have sufficient air inside the bag, except for "breathable bags."
If in doubt, ask the Auction Chairperson whether your bag has sufficient air.
8. Please add colored dots (red, green, yellow or blue) to all items. It's up to you
to decide to use all one color or split your items between colors. Donated items
will be auctioned off first and then items will be sold by color. The order of
colors will be picked at random at each meeting.
9. Do not feed the fish the day of the auction, or put food in the bag. This keeps
the bag water cleaner, longer.
10. No more than six small fish, two medium fish, or one larg fish per bag.
11. Each seller will receive a percentage ("split") of the selling price for each item.
The percentage of the split the seller receives increases as the sale price
increases. For example, the split is 25% for a $1.00 item and 80% for a $21.00
12. The Silicon Valley Aquarium Society or its representatives will not accept
responsibility due to loss, theft, or damage to any items.
13. All questions should be directed to the Auction Chairperson.
14. The decision of the Auction Chairperson is final.
