Dates are shown on the calendar page. These are public auctions open to all comers and anyone can sell and anyone can buy*. *A commission of 20% applies to all items sold, and to sell, a premium payment equal to a single membership is applied for non- members. Items sold include fishes, plants, accessories and any item associated with fishkeeping. Prices are usually about half retail cost. Many rare and seldom seen species are often available. Patrons can come and go at any time, fully licensed cafeteria operates throughout the afternoon. The auctions are publicised widely and usually attract crowds well in excess of 120. Likewise in July on a SUNDAY, EDAS in conjunction with other aquarium societies, SOMETIMES holds a Fish Fair where goods are offered to the general public. Participants rent a table in the Waratah Room (see above) and sell direct, commission free. Watch the websites for any announcements regarding the 2014 Fish Fair. Thus you may have three ideal opportunities, spaced throughout the year, to obtain bargain rates for your supplies whether buying or selling. Auction Rules 1.
