I agree with the at home stuff above. I had listed some of the seedlings we were getting ready to dig up and get out of the way on Craigslist. It stated plain as day what hours I would be there to dig these since I did not live at the garden. Well of course people DO NOT read things thoroughly at all and people would show up hours after my close time.
And yes do check on what you would need for licensing (business and nursery) because there is a difference between garden sales and "mail order only" as for taxing rules, insurance and other things, at least here.
My nursery license is for "mail order only" and I'm not sure what I would of had to do if it was garden sales.
As I said in the tree mail I have shipped to ALL states except Hawaii (James has shipped there though with no problems) and have had no problems at all. Most of the regulations are for "shipped in soil" larger nursery suppliers and not BARE ROOT plants.
The way I price daylilies on the auction is I look up open and closed auction to see what they are selling/sold for and use that as a guide. If something isn't listed on the auction I will google the dayliliy and see what other nurseries sell it for as well as the hybridizer. Usually they are a lot higher than I would sell some for but they are paying for website, catalogs, employees (some do) and whatever else. I also have the Daylily Eureka reference guide that lists the prices of various places. Not all daylilies are in there but it helps. Last resort I just put what I think it's worth to me. If it doesn't sell the first time it can be listed one more time for free and you can lower the price if needed.
I line out in pots. To me it takes up less space than lining out in ground. The pots can be moved around as needed also. I alphabetize them so they are easier to find when shipping time comes. Lets say I have 10 pots of CAROL TODD I will only list 6-7. The reason is you may need extras in case you need to replace one or if one decides to rot on you or an animal decides to dig it up and break the fans off the crown (has happened to me) before it gets shipped. These get listed in the spring after all the fall bought ones are shipped.
Anyway, to me, it's easier to grab a pot for an order than to have to dig it up.
