About our Public Auctions

We hold one large public auction each year giving members to opportunity to sell koi to a large market, and the general public (and other members) the opportunity to purchase quality koi. Bins and airlines are provided to sellers, and a small percentage of each sale goes to the Society.

Where and When?

The public auction is usually held in Spring each year - date and venue details are available on this web site when confirmed, and the auction is advertised in local papers and at koi retail outlets.

Selling at a Public Auction

If you would like to sell some fish in one of our Auctions, you will need to be a current member of KSWA and make a booking before the day - contact details can be found in the newsletter.

Please ensure you do make a booking before Auction day; entries on the day cannot be accepted as bins and air lines need to be booked and organised in advance.

Buying at a Public Auction

Come along on the day and bid. Bidders do not need to be members of KSWA. Bidders will need to place a deposit to receive a bidding number. When you have finished bidding, you may take your bidding number back to the Helpdesk, make payment then receive the koi you have purchased.

Bring along a bag for transporting them home (and box or esky). A battery operated air pump is also a good idea for the trip home.

Poly bags can be purchased in advance from our Sales Table in various sizes - the Sales Table is open at all General Meetings, but is not usually open for business on Auction Day.
