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.’”

History of Auctioneering
The most expensive seal sold at auction was sold for $22,000,000 (£17,595,777) and was bought by an anonymous buyer (China) in Paris, France, on 14 December 2016. The seal had once belonged to one of China’s longest serving emperors, Qianlong (1735-1796) of the Qing dynasty, who owned 1,800 of them. According to the auction house, the seal was acquired by a French naval doctor during a trip to China in the 19th century, after which it remained in his family.
