THIS IS NOT AN IN-PERSON AUCTION

You bid online, and pick up in person at Holiday Inn Melbourne-Viera Conference Ctr on June 27th 2pm

See schedule below.

General information

Standard member split of 75% seller/25% club applies. Auction split for non-members is 60/40% in favor of the seller. If there are discrepancies between the website and these rules, these rules prevail.

For bagging tips and suggestions, see SCAS Home - Bagging Guidelines

• DO NOT USE THE LOT NUMBER IN AUCTION.FISH! IT WILL NUMBER YOUR ITEMS SEQUENTIALLY AND AUTOMATICALLY!

• The quantity box is for the number of items in the bag, not how many bags of that item you are entering.
• Fish, Submersed Plants, and Live Foods are eligible to be entered into the auction. 

• Lot Name should be the name of the item in the bag (guppy, cryptocoryne wendtii, etc.).

• If you are donating an item, enter it under your account and click the donation box. No need to use number 300.

• Every item must be checked in through the registration table and verified to make sure labelling is correct.

• For those registering items at the door, numbering should be in the form Seller Number – Bag Number. Item descriptions on the bag should include item name, scientific name (if possible), number of fish/plants in the bag, sex (if possible), and/or group type (number of fish, pair, trio, reverse trio, etc.). Information helps buyers know what they are buying and can earn you more money.

• Invasive plants (water hyacinth, water lettuce, hydrilla, salvinia except s. minima, etc.) are not permitted and must be removed from the premises immediately.

• Native fish (elasomma species, fundulus species, Lucania goodei, heterandria Formosa, etc.) can only be entered by individuals possessing a valid Florida Fish and Frog Dealer’s License.

• Sellers are allowed 5 reserve bags (items with a set starting price). 

• If you are an existing member, your normal bidder number will show up when you sign in to auction.fish. If you are a new bidder, the site will assign you a bidder number. Members get a 75/25% split and non-members get a 60/40% split, so you may want to purchase a membership ahead of time. Membership is $15 and can be purchased here:  1 Year Membership - Space Coast Aquarium Society
