James, you are just an all-around nice guy.
And, your logic is sound. You'll get big bucks for some auctions, and pocket change for others. But, it averages out in the end. I think it is very nice of you to start the auctions at a price that everyone can afford. If the seeds go through the roof, that is fantastic! If they don't, at least you made someone very happy, and it was probably someone who has a strict budget that they must stick to. I think it is great that you are giving everyone a chance to at least bid on something. If you were starting the auction out at $50 for a few seeds, that really narrows the field, and it doesn't give everyone a chance to have some fun. I'm still not visiting the Lily Auction again, for more than 1/2 of a second, but if I ever do, I'll look for your seeds! Maybe I'll even bid on some!
