gardenglory said:Now that you mention that James, and you dont really have to tell, but I was watching that auction of yours and stopped watching after it hit 60$. I mean what do you do when someone bids that much on an auction where the seeds had already sold for so much less.....send lots of bonuses, or just say, hey its an auction. This is really retorical, I dont expect you to say, but I always wonder, when they are new especially, if they know what the heck they are doing. I did notice he is bidding on the same cross, maybe averaging the price out. Ive had to do that a time or two, especially when new.

It depends. I try to be as generous as I can but at the same time it is an auction. I started everything this year at $2 so they end up where they end up - I'm not trying to force the issue. What I do try to do is give that person who pays a lot for a cross extra seeds of the particular cross as a bonus whenever possible. Sometimes I list all that I have though. Bonus seeds are fun but at the same time they are kind of a pain because it's an added layer of complexity trying to pick things people may like.

I know which cross you're talking about, and strangely enough I was really thinking of a different one out of two, somewhat recent, toothy parents.

Edited because apparently I was having trouble typing this evening. Yeeeesh.
