This page must be printed, signed and attached to the Seller Sheet and presented to the Auction Chair Person when your auction items are accepted for auction.

1) Sellers must obtain a “Seller’s List” and a  “Seller’s Number” from the Auction Chairman (John Van Asch) prior to the auction start.  “Seller’s Lists” will be available at the general meeting preceding the auction or by sending a self-addressed stamped envelope to the auction chairman and it will be mailed to you.  Once the auction has started no more “Seller’s Lists” or “Seller’s Numbers” will be issued.  Lists will be accepted at the auction chairman’s discretion after auction has started so long as they were obtained prior to the start.
2) All items should be registered for sale and placed on the auction tables no later than 30 minutes prior to start time to allow the buyers time to inspect the lots available for sale. Auction Registration will begin 90 minutes prior to auction start time. Items arriving after auction start time will be auctioned last after all other items are sold or at the auction chairman’s discretion.
3) Sellers will be provided with 20 pre-printed labels. Items 1-16 will be regular auction items. Items 17-18 can be used for items the seller wishes to put a minimum bid on and will be sold via a silent auction. Items numbered 19-20 are items that are a full donation to MASI to defray the cost of 1 banquet ticket for the next annual show banquet for the designated seller.
4) Sellers may sell a maximum of 4 items of the same type/species/color morph.  Examples are a seller could bring 4 bags of gold angels, 4 bags of blacks, 4 bags of marbles and 4 bags of silvers. Sellers should be aware that multiple bags of the same item tend to depress the price of all bags.
5) The split shall be 60% seller/ 40% MASI for those that are pre-registered. The split for those that obtain their sellers sheet the day of the auction shall be 50 % seller/ 50% MASI. All items selling for $20 or higher will receive a 10% bonus going to the seller. Any item not bringing a bid or selling for $1.00 shall be considered a donation to MASI and MASI shall dispose of said item as they see fit
6) Proper bagging of fish is required. Double bagging of all fish is recommended.  Sandwich bags (baggies or Ziplocs) are not permitted for fish and said item will be charged a rebagging fee of one dollar from auction proceeds. Leaking bags will also be charged a rebagging fee of one dollar. Jars with watertight lids or buckets for larger fish are acceptable. Bags are available for purchase at the regular MASI meeting preceding the auction. 
7) All equipment must be clean and in working order.  Cracked or broken tanks are not acceptable. Leakers must be marked.
8) No hybrids or animals native to Missouri / Illinois nor any sick or deformed fish may be sold through the auction.
9) Items may be called to the auction by paying the sum of 1 dollar to the auction committee. The item will be brought up for auction within 5 minutes. The seller or a potential buyer may pay this sum. 
10) No minimum bids on items numbered 1-16 or 19-20. Minimum bids are allowed only on silent auction items numbered 17 or 18.
11) All items must be checked in with members of the auction committee.
12) Viewing of items for auction will commence 90 minutes prior to auction start time.
13) The auction chairman or his designate reserves the right to reject any item from the auction.
14) The auction committee, MASI, and the auction site shall not be held liable for any accidents or losses, which occur during the course of the auction.
15) These rules are not meant to be all-inclusive; the auction chairman shall be the final authority.
