  • AUCTION AND SALES INFORMATION

    Most monthly meetings include an auction.

    🦐 Paid members get an 80%-20% split on items they bring while it is 60%-40% for non-member sellers.

    🐠 Be sure to label your items accurately and legibly and get them checked in at the beginning of the meeting.

    🌿 Please only bring bags of water for the animals, plants travel better damp not wet. Make sure your bags or containers are secure!

    🎈🎈 To keep the auction process smooth and efficient, dry goods such as hardscape, equipment in good working condition, and other supplies are limited to 5 items per seller.🎈🎈
