CLOSED: What Are You Willing To Trade For It? *Seed Auction*

North of Atlanta, GA(Zone 8a)

mekos. I think it's a great way to trade seeds.

Well, I think so ,and everyone gets a chance to bid ,and get their lists checked out by posting the bids, Others will have a chance to see lists of some they didn't know existed. So I think it will benefit all the way around. Everyone, so far, has been excited and wants to continue it, and some have said they had lots of fun, so I will continue unless the management says not to. I believe it is a good way to distribute different seeds and JUST have fun. People can try new seeds they never had before. The first one turned out a success, so for now, GO BID.

Palm Coast, FL(Zone 9a)

lol.. it depends on what it is mekos is looking for.. just cuz someone bids a ton of seeds, doesnt mean she wants em.. someone could bid just 5 seed.. and win.. if its seed mekos really wants ;)

Monticello, KY(Zone 6b)

And Mekos won't say which she'll take until Wednesday night either. So bid all you want to.

Hey you guys, I'm laughing so hard, I'm about to cry. Keep going, just remember these are real bids and if I pick your bid, you got to antie-up. Meaning, YOU got to send the bid amount. So make sure you got them. I'm watching and writing it ALL down. This is going to be so much fun.

Palm Coast, FL(Zone 9a)

Orlando, FL

boy mekos what have you started lol i cant stop laughing, i dont have seed except the ones you sent me lol you want them back lol only kidding i am planting aug 7 when i am off for two weeks.

Yes, pretty much that's it. It's just our way to have fun and get new seeds spreaded around. I have lots of different kinds of seeds but not much of one kind, so if I auction them off, others can get some they really want and what extra I get, I give or trade to others. When I end up with a lot of seeds, i don't plan to use, I send them to Robin for the newbies. So it's for a good cause. You bid IF you really want the seeds offered, and what you bid, is what you send me, if I pick you as winner, and I give YOU the seeds up for bid. Does that explain it better? This time the seeds up for bid are 5 Puya seed AND 5 redback ginger seed. Wednesday night the winner will be picked and new seeds will go up to be offered.

Well so far, Starlight's bid is looking best. Is there any more bids out there before this one ends tomorrow night (Wednesday) at 8:00pm? Better get them in. Gonna go fast.

AUCTION--TONIGHT AT 8:00pm. Get those seeds ready! Thanks to all participators for making this so much fun. Back at 8:00pm. Mekos
