Pursuant to 24 Del. C. § 2901, “the practice of providing real estate services” is reserved for those “duly licensed under this chapter.” Section 2901 enumerates several exceptions to the licensing requirement for providing “real estate services,” including one for “auctioneers.” In its Complaint, Plaintiff Delaware Auctioneers Association challenges regulations promulgated by Defendant Delaware Real Estate Commission concerning the 24 Del. C. § 2901(e)(4) exception for “auctioneers.”3 Specifically, Plaintiff asserts that § 2901(e)(4) is a blanket exemption for “auctioneers,”4 and, therefore, Defendant does not have the authority to implement regulations which purport to clarify “the complete, clear unambiguous and blanket exemption provided to ‘auctioneers.’”

The New Hampshire Auctioneers Association is a non-profit trade association founded in 1954 to promote the professional, ethical and educational standards of the auction business in the Granite State.
The Association continued its concern with professionalism when, in 1969, it lead the nation by drafting and putting into effect, through the state legislature, the licensing of auctioneers and laws that govern the profession and protect the public. A State Board of Auctioneers was created and the NHAA continues to work with the Board and the legislature to create an atmosphere of good will in the trade.
The Association boasts not only nationally known members but also an elite group of professional auctioneers serving all markets, who are capable of providing both buyers and sellers with the very best opportunity to realize the most from their merchandise.

The most expensive chicken nugget sold at online auction is $99,997 (£70,709 / €82,190), sold by eBay user ‘polizna’ with the listing “McDonald’s Among Us shaped Nugget from BTS Meal”, on 4 June 2021.
The nugget resembles a character from the hugely popular multiplayer videogame Among Us. It was also part of an exclusive meal launched by McDonald’s in collaboration with multiple Guinness World Records title holders BTS. Having been listed for only $0.99 and receiving no bids for the first two days, the nugget received an initial bid of $14,969 which sparked a huge amount of interest online, with the official Among Us Twitter account even posting about the auction. After 183 subsequent bids, the nugget sold for just under $100,000 and will be delivered “frozen and then air sealed to ensure freshness”, according to the item description.
