Display:

All product sold through GSDA is displayed and staged in our 15,000 sq foot refrigerated display room.  Product is staged according to species and cull. 

All product accepted at GSDA is held to standards outlined in the Magnuson-Stevens Act.

Product is culled, sized, weighed and iced in totes. 

Each tote is labeled with its unique lot number outlining the vessels name, landing date, species, size and weight for traceability and accountability.

Auction:

GSDA and Aucxis Trading Solutions (ATS) have combined to create the first real time internet seafood auction in the USA. 

GSDA auctions are held Monday through Friday starting at 6am. 

The internet bidding system allows remote bidders to follow a live sale and to participate in the bidding.  The auction principle has been developed by the falling/rising bid method.

The bidders bid against each other until the highest bid is won by use of their pc’s space bar.  Unless otherwise specified by the seller the Auctioneer will confirm this lot and continue to the next lot.

Sellers can chose to move their unsold product by putting it back on the auction for the following day’s sale or sell the item in a secondary market. 

At the end of the auction the system confirms all the sales. 

Buyers have immediate access of their sale transactions and reports through the database which include prices, averages, purchase, etc.

Sellers invoices are printed and checks available as soon as 48 hours.
