Seed & Divtober Rules
Welcome to the 2020 Seed & Divtober Auction! This auction is to support the wonderful people over at Meadowview!
Listing Period: Listings and bidding start on Friday, October 2, 2020 at 2:00 PM EDT and end on Friday, October 16, 2020 at 8:00:59 PM EDT. We'll do our best to close commenting at the scheduled end time to avoid any confusion. Winning bids will be determined by the post timestamp. For example, a bid that is placed after 8:00:59 PM EDT on Friday, October 16, 2020 will not be a valid bid.
Who can participate? Everyone! We hope there will be something everyone likes during the auctions. However, if you're not a member of Sarracenia Proboards (You should definitely be one!) please add a contact email below your bid. i.e.,
What can be listed for auction? Anything CP related! Seeds, divisions, plants, CP shirts, ect! If you're unsure if it can be listed send me a message with what you're wanting to list.
Listing an item for auction: Everyone is allowed to list an item for auction. Please ensure you follow the rules when listing an item for auction.
Each listing must include the following:
1. Opening bid amount.
2. A description of the item for auction and a picture if possible (highly encouraged).
3. Who will be paying for shipping (the seller or buyer) along with a shipping quote.
4. Where you're willing to ship to (if there's limitations).
5. Your contact info so the buyer can pass their shipping info along.
Bidding on an item: Bids should be placed as a reply to that listing. Please keep all replies to bids pertaining to that listing. All bids are in whole U.S. dollar increments! It is the buyers responsibility to only bid on items that they legally receive shipments from and it's the responsibility of the seller to only ship to where they legally can.
Bidding increments: It couldn't be easier. Whole dollar increments is all we ask for. Bids cannot be edited once they're placed. Please contact an administrator if you wish to make a change to your listing. You can bid as often as you like as long as it's within the auction time frames.
What do you do if you've won an auction? You've won an auction if you're the highest bidder at 8:00:59 PM EDT on Friday, October 16, 2020. Winners should contact the listers within three days of the auctions closing to arrange shipping. Payments for items will go directly to Meadowview in the form of a donation for the item total. Please remember to not include the shipping cost in your donation. Shipping costs will be paid directly to the lister. Once we have gotten confirmation of your donation from Meadowview we will contact the lister and give them the okay to proceed with shipping. Once the lister has been notified to ship they have 14 days to ship the item.
Payment for won items: Payment for won auctions will be in the form of a donation to Meadowview Biological Research Station in the amount of the highest bid. Please remember to add a note in your donation that has either your forum name or email. No other form of payment is accepted. Donate to "The Joseph Pines Reserve" on their website.
