* Everyone attending the auction is requested to keep conversations and other
distracting noises (such as mobile phones) to a minimum so as not to interfere
with the running of the auction.
* Neither the Society nor the auctioneer will be responsible for the sizing of fish
or general descriptions. If a buyer wishes to check the sizes or appearance of
fish they should be ready and able to inspect the lot as it comes around.
* Neither the Society nor the auctioneers will be responsible for the sexing of the
fish or any defects in them but all precautions will be taken to identify these
problems if they should arise. Sexing of the fish by the auctioneers is to be taken
only as a guide and carries absolutely no guarantees of correctness.
* The seller will be responsible for the labeling of bags, sexing of fish etc. and
any lots entered as pairs, trio‘s etc must be joined together. At the discretion of
the Auctioneer, Vice President or Auction scrutineer committee member, fish lots
that are not labeled with the correct name of the fish or without a name can be
immediately passed in or sold as a nameless or random fish.
* All dry goods, equipment etc. are purchased AS IS and are non-refundable or
returnable for any reason. Sellers are required to identify any faults at the time of
presentation for auctioning.
* Purchased lots can not be returned for any reason. It is the responsibility of the
buyer to be prepared to accept the lots immediately after the hammer falls.
* Lots without a reserve marked on the Auctioneer Record Form will be
auctioned as if no reserve exists.
* Sellers of any lots that have not reached the reserve price have the option of
selling at a lower price obtained by the auctioneer.
* All bids will start with $1. $1 increments from $10 to $20 and $2 increments
from $20 to $50. $5 increments beyond $50.
* The society regrets that it cannot be held responsible for the security of items
presented for auction. That is before, during or after the auction. Any loss prior
to sale will be born by the seller; any after sale will be born by the buyer. This
rule applies to any fish that may die at the auction.
* The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any lot or part lot for any reason.
