Auction is going well

Hi Folks

The auction is rolling right along. We have some GREAT items listed. If you haven't checked it out, please do so. Remember this is a way to make a donation AND get something in return. You win both ways.

We don't have much in the way of seed donations...which is kinda weird. I thought people had tons of seeds laying around. Even some "newbie" material is good. It doesn't matter if the highest bid is $2, it all adds up.

Last year we ended with about 200 listings. Lets see if we can break that number. Right now we are around 87 or so. And that is TERRIFIC for only being open for 3 days.

So...poke around and see what you might have extras of.

Thank you all so much. I see a lot of generosity out there both in listings and bidding.

You guys are the best!
 
there is a group of Utrics and Genlisea(20 species plus 2 varieties/cultivars) that are sitting at just over $0.50 a plug/plant....................your not going to make me do allllllllll the work of taking that many plugs and keeping them properly labeled for $13?!?!?!
 
Wish I had something to contribute.
 
I think that we have already broken the dollar amount from last year.

there may be less overall members than the last time
 
I think everyone is doing a fantastic job. I keep seeing new listings and that's good.

Tre...you can always make a financial donation directly. Some people are doing that. It doesn't have to be much. If 10 people gave $10...that's a $100. So even the little ones of $2, $5, $10 counts.

It might mean a little sacrifice...like not getting a CD you want right away or giving up a fast food meal. But this money will go to financing the things we need to do to get NASC going...like filing for not-for-profit status which costs money. And hopefully this will extend to financing plant rescues and things like that.

Fund-raising is part of the deal with an organization. The ICPS has its membership fee to finance the newsletter and other things.

Keep the listings coming. We still have another week and a half. So that's time to look around and see what you can come up with.

There is some goooooood stuff listed!

Wow! Serious? That's dang amazing...not considering what happened to the dollar amount from last year, but I think it was about a thousand over bucks, heh?
 
This is my 1st auction. Actually a lot of fun and a better variety of plants than I expected.

Now now Joe, it's for a good cause and you know you need all those things you are bidding on.

Bid frequently and with wild abandon. Macaroni and cheese will be fine for the next year or so and it will have been for a good cause.

Aside from that, I don't see any behaviors that some nice prozak (sp?) or lithium couldn't handle.

Hey Tony >;-D ...I think you should put up 50 N. albo blacks...so everyone who wants one can get one.  
smile_n_32.gif
 Isn't that a gooooood idea??  Notice I put a devil smiley next to your name.....  
biggrin.gif


Keep checking the auctions...new items keep showing up.  Maybe some people are holding out to list something next week.  That would be good too.

I think everyone is being so generous and the things offered are varied and VERY nice.  Its a smorgasbord of tastey tidbits.

You guy and gals are simply THE best.
