yep, got to accept the rulings of @LemonadeJoe but agreed that a tag would be nice even in the last minute
plus it lets me know i lost my slots without me having to search through and remember what i bid on and what i lost + it was stated in the rules to tagā¦
just saying. my memory gets faded when i doā¦
Great work everyone so Iām the highest bid on 1 lot, who do I send the money to? I tried looking over everything but I canāt find out the process. Thanks guys peace
Gonna put forth a proposition, ANYONE who I outbid at THE LAST SECOND, if you donate HALF of your LAST BID to OG, I will send you a HALF PACK of the item!!! Consider it SNIPER ETIQUETTE!! SS/BWā¦mister NOTE: To be exact, the Rules states: āWhenever you outbid someone, PLEASE tag him/her using @ to notify him/her.ā If a member bids at 58.3 Seconds, how can one tag them at say, 58.8 Seconds? The āSniper Trickā is to bid several increments higher, regardless of who the LAST BIDDER is. No Lawyer here, but @LemonadeJoe is!!! It may appear āshadyā, but within the Rules!! My offer stands!!
iāll be happy to take you up on that offer there @misterbee, i think we have some old unfinished business between us anywayā¦ Iāll search through my old PMs and refresh that thread
**Also, in the spirit of OG iāll happily donate my full bid price ($30) to OG for half of the lot quantity you sniped me on without the tagā¦ (#32 Whiskey Sour)
this is a very cool offer of you @misterbee. i was on my phone during the final minutes of the auction, so i actually had to scroll back up to the top and check to see what my lot number was, ergo i was just a little bit too slow to get in my final bid. but you bid more than i would have on my lot, so iām gonna let it go.
certainly tagging someone youāre outbidding is a nice courtesy, but it hadnāt been enforced during the early parts of bidding, so i donāt see why it would be strictly enforced during the final parts.
ultimately the auction was to have fun and to raise some funds for overgrow. i had a lot of fun and it looks like thereāll be a few dollars headed to overgrow. so mission successful overall iād say. there are so many seeds floating through overgrow that iām sure if i missed something i wanted, it will come my way sooner or later. happy growing yāall! looking forward to part 2 of the auction.
INDEED, if we have āunfinished businessā, by all means, run it back. I try not to leave ANYONE hanging out there, if itās in MY control. SS/BWā¦mister
if that is the case, it makes sense. i accepted the ruling without an issue, the whole experience is in good fun, never believed otherwise. just agreed with a need for certainty on the playing rules (but i didnt know it had not been enforced earlier on)
class act.youre giving away free half of your won seeds for more OG donations.
Iām happy to see the community spirit overwhelm desire to win here, really nice display of decency everybody, but I have one important question that hasnāt been covered yetā¦
OGers NOTIFICATION #204,109: Head over to the Trading/Moderated Thread!! Gonna be listing FORTY of @Sebringās Website Offerings, multiple listing of EACH Varieties/Strains (Photo/Reg, Photo/Fem, Auto/Reg and Fem), 6 P/R, 6 Auto/R, 3 - 4 P/F, 3 - 4 A/F. Gonna initially offer 1 member/1 choice. Iāll give a TWO DAY NOTICE before the start of this endeavor. PLEASE understand: ABSOLUTELY NO MONIES INVOLVED!!(Iāve NEVER sold one seed.) Anyway, in a couple of hours, Iāll give a PREVIEW LISTING of the Varieties/Strains involved. SS/BWā¦mister
I donāt see why there needs to be a rule. Tagging a person is really a courtesy so the person being outbid gets a notification letting them know they were outbid. Itās not like anyone outbid in the last few seconds has the time to bid again so I get why itās accepted. Tagging will save someone having to go through multiple posts to see they were outbid though so it does not feel like a big inconvenience.
I humbly disagree, you cannot change rules once the auction has started, itās not a fair move, money is not all in this life, happened to me before and thatās why I stay away, all this said with much respect ā¦
As a newb im on the fence. I had 2 lots and realized i would not be able to secure both if someone was bidding on my lots. I wrote out the lot i was most concerned about and posted an @ sign to be ready for the onslaught.
At the end of the day the vibe I got was this is about donations to keep the site im beginning to love rolling. So i will do my part and im going to donate a buck for every lot posted next round.
