Ultra-Aqua Auction

On Sunday, June 11, 2023, the Ultra-Aqua Auction registration begins at 10 am and the Auction starts at 11 am. This is an animal, plant, and live foods only auction—neither hard goods nor aquarium supplies will be auctioned.

All other typical Auction features, such as Rare Fish Raffle, 50/50 Raffles, will be available.

AUCTION RULES:

  1. This will be a Limited Auction: only fish, aquarium and pond plants, aquatic animals, live food cultures, and show entries will be auctions—no hard goods. The only exceptions are manufacturer’s donations. Exhibitors may choose to auction their entries. These entries must be bagged and entered in the auction by the exhibitor after judging is completed.
  2. Proceeds of the auction may be donated entirely to GAAS or will be split on a 70/30 basis, with GAAS remitting 70% to the exhibitor within two weeks from the closing date of the show. A breakdown sales list will be included.
  3. Once registered for the auction, items cannot be withdrawn.
  4. All items should be clearly marked with the seller’s unique 3-letter code (eg, use your initials), item ID number (each of your items should have it own unique number; ie, 01, 02, 03, etc), seller’s name, phone number or email address, common and Latin names (if known), quantity, and sex (if known). Items without proper identification will be considered donations.
    AUCTION ITEM LABELING EXAMPLE:
    JJT-10
    Corydoras loxozonus
    6 unsexed adults
    John J Turner

  5. GAAS may refuse to sell animals that are diseased, deformed, too young to survive, or regulated in the State of Ohio.
  6. A color dot system will be used to assure a fair mix of different seller’s items. Any items registered after a color is being auctioned, none of that color will be received. Items not claimed by 7 pm June 12 will become the property of GAAS.
  7. Neither the Tallmadge Community Center nor the Greater Akron Aquarium Society will be held responsible for any loss or damage incurred during the show. Exhibitors do have a responsibility to be careful with water. Parents are responsible for the actions of their children, please supervise your children closely.
  8. GAAS reserves the right to sell multiple items from the same seller as lots or to group items and any items that do not sell for at least $1 will be considered donations to GAAS.
  9. Please inspect all items as all sales are final, buyer beware. GAAS does not guarantee any item and is not responsible for any loss.
  10. Buyers may pay by cash per item (ie, pay as you go) or choose to run a tab and pay by cash or check or credit card. There will be, however, a charge for any check returned for NSF.
