Gav Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 you can easily join on the night, although it is not a requirement for attending a major auction. the only participation possible now is as a buyer, as all lots were given out to existing members at the last two meetings.

dazzman Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Looks like I can make it down so now I have a few more questions about the auction.So how is the auction lot order list determined, are they just auctioned in the order that they are lodged on arrival?I take it all the fish can be viewed before the actual auction starts? Once you have decided what you want to bid on is there a way to know roughly when it will be up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 there is usually 8 rounds in the auction. when people check in their lots, they usually number their bags so they can choose which round the fish will be sold in. for each round, bags are randomly selected until all bags from that round are sold.there is no viewing of fish before the auction.because you cant view the fish, or even see a list of what is sold, you have to sit through the auction to see what comes up. in some ways it can be exciting, in others it can be painful. ultimately if you really want a particular fish its best to buy one privately on the day outside of the auction to ensure you get what you are after. then you can bid on the optional stuff in the auction.

couchy Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 If you are after something particular or rare best to post a WTB ad in classifieds for pick up at the meeting to guarantee you get what you are after. Otherwise you could spend 8-10-12 hours waiting for something that won't come through. You can ask some of the committee if species are coming and they may know if we have time to help or look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Any thing that is really rare usually gets mentioned by someone at auction time. Between the person selling, the scrutineers and runners, it will get noticed. If worse comes to worse it can be looked up in the auction system, but time constraints wont allow this to happen until all fish are booked in and the auction is well and trully underway. You will never know when the fish is coming out as the lots are auctioned at "random".Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
