attending the monthly meeting may participate in the bidding or selling
of items (read below for additional non-member rules).
- The
Delaware County Aquarium Society (DCAS) retains 25% of the highest bid

receive 75% of the highest bid. However, any item sold for one ($1)
dollar will be split by a half dollar ($0.50) to the club and the other
half dollar to the member.
- There
is a 14 (fourteen) items limit for each membership/household. However,

Anyone wishing to enter more than 5 (five) of the same item must have
approval from both the auction chairperson/designee and the President.
More than 5 (five) of the same items being offered will be sold at the
same price after auctioning one of the items. (NOTE: This approval of
offering more that 5 [five] of the same item will not be applied to all
circumstances; items will be limited to 5 [five] at the discretion of
any board of directors member.)
