What as estimation on how large the auction will be? Anyone know?

[marauder_77868]

Make sure to get your entries in...the show tanks are filling up!

[fishboyt]

There should be a page 2 on there as well...if you go over 39 items email me at marauder_77868@yahoo.com and I can send you the subsequent ones...I have them for up to 120 items or so...

Thanks!

Not sure why that is...its a pdf and you should be able to print to "fit to page" in any case...

What if I have more than 18 items to auction off? Sorry about all the questions. :)

Where can I print out a seller forum? Do I fill it out just like I had to at the GHAC auction?

[jughead]

you can bid.length of auction depends on how many items are brought.usually around 6 hours.silent auction split into groups,usually an hour per group.make sure you have some clear tank space and bring your birthday money

[aquashelle]

I'm planning on having my dad bring me as part of my birthday present, I'm dieing to see the auction, and have a nice new empty tank. :)

My question is this:

How long will the auction be? Like whats a rough estimate on how long the silent auctions are open for? The live auctions? I want to have a good idea on how long to be there.

Also, is there an age limit to register to bid? I'll be 16, but I just want to make sure, in case my dad has to do the bidding for me.

What fishboyt said :) . Membership in the Houston Aquarium Society is $15 a year for a family and as a member, you get a bidder card on the three auctions we have a year as part of your membership. Or, fishboyt said, you can just pay the $5 for a bidder's card if you chose. There isn't a fee to just attend the auction, only if you want to bid.

I've been a member of this forum for only a relatively short time and am not yet a member of any of the aquarium clubs nor have I registered for the convention. Can I still attend and bid at the auction?

You can pay the membership fee to become a member at the auction, or you can pay $5.00 for a bidder card. :)
