Server cost bulk auction SA

Recommended Posts

Hi folks, two part auction here...

 

Up for auction is approximately 1.5m of sausage, 2.5m of Yowie, 1m of PC, a 70cm cut of seed-grown (probably) bruce x PC (2009), a small piece of validus (that will likely only recover if you cut the top off), and the best of the lot a 70cm mid-cut of what was labelled as Rosei No.2 by an old skool grower from the mid-north of SA that recently blew over in the wind. In total around 7m of cactus of considerable girth I might add.

 

The auction is open to anyone but for obvious reasons the plants cannot be posted. Therefore, the auction is limited to pick up or delivery. If you live in Adelaide or within about a 60km radius of there the cactus will be delivered to you, with delivery the preference.

 

The auction is open until sunset on the solstice, delivery between Christmas and new year.

 

The deal is that, rather than pay me, you donate the money to the server costs and take a screen shot of the donation and post it in the thread. At that time the cactus will be delivered (or collected).

 

The second part of the auction is, since I will need to deliver the plants, that you trade with me a cactus cutting that you post a photo of here. The cutting needs to be suitable for planting directly into the ground.

 

I will select the best cutting + price package on the solstice.

 

The auction starts at $80.

 

I'll bump the thread from time to time.

Sexy

good on you Micromegas

If i win and am close enough to pick the logs up do I still need to offer a plant ??

happy to give you a cactus ready for the ground man, I'm just not clear on if it's a proviso for entry to this auction or not......

Yes you in particular need to give me a plant, a really good plant, whether you pick them up or not!!

 

Haha.

 

But it's a fair point - if someone doesn't have plants or anything (or any good plants), it's fine, i'll still deliver them to you, i'm mostly concerned with getting a good donation for the forum.

 

These plants represent 'nature's own trimmings' while I have been away from the garden, twas a windy wet year.

^^ nice one.

 

that offer is accepted without a cactus offered, the 'hills' is not so far.

 

the current bid is therefore $200.

Heliamphora because you made a great bid, and i'm in the hills now and then over the next few weeks, if you want the 30cm super pedro pup I knocked off with the mower yesterday, you're welcome to it. PM me if you are interested.

Thanks to Halcyon for adding another $100 for a part of the so called roseii 2 and spooge for giving up a part of it!

 

$400 from the thread is not a bad effort.

 

Merry Christmas
