related products.

but only current financial members can sell.
* There is a maximum of 10 auction lots per seller during regular monthly
meeting auctions. (unless otherwise authorised by the Auctioneer,
Vice President or Auction scrutineer committee member)
* There will be a limit of 3 lots of the same item per seller. This is to avoid 10
bags of 2 of the same fish/plant per bag which is less likely to sell and will take
up more auction time than say 3 bags with 6 fish/plants per bag. If there are 10
of the same item in individual bags the auctioneer is authorised to make up 2
lots of 5 items for example - this is at the Auctioneer‘s, Vice President‘s or
Auction scrutineer committee member‘s discretion.

applicable laws or regulations within the ACT.
