Re: [AGA-sc] seller rules

Thanks for the auction suggestions.  I will file this in the "to-do bin" 
for constructing the rule list (which sounds like next weekend or so).

Thanks -- I have been interested in hearing how much should be charged for 
that.

Yes, I would (and did) bid on a bag of cherry shrimp at a plant auction. 
So it's a bit sticky if you have a hardfast rule of "no fish".

Perhaps keeping it to registrants will help avoid us making tricky rules 
about what CAN be auctioned?

I like this...but I also don't like this.  Wouldn't it be cool to have 20 
bags of Amano shrimp?  Our local club deals with this by having a 20-lot 
limit per member.

Were there any rules like this in Dallas?  Actually, I bet there were some 
rules.  I am always wary of adapting the Chattanooga approach because the 
sheer volume of things was so much lower than we have now (c.f. Leon 
Garden's request that it be all-silent).

We can easily do this too, because the tags I printed have unique numbers 
on them.  They also have letters A-Z, so we could implement a 26-table 
system if necessary. :)
