2014 Official Forum Auction! (New trees up for auction are in the first post)

[murahilin]

Cannot ship trees to CA, AZ, or TX

This is an auction to help raise money for the forum. The money raised will go towards hosting the forum, making t-shirts, and creating a not for profit organization to run the forum under.

I will be listing a few trees at a time and once they sell I will add more.

Please either PM or post your bid and I will update the current bid. We don't mind shipping the trees as long as the winning bidder pays for shipping.

We don't have any unusual seeds at the moment but we are open to people donating their seeds for us to add to the auction. If anyone is interested in donating anything, please send me a PM.

Shipping on the small plants?

[Maryoto]

What if donate money,Sheehan?
US member might be able to donate the seeds.
But non-US members will be too long when sending the seeds,so the seeds may have not received when the auction is over.

We don't mind shipping as long as the winning bidder pays for shipping.

[AnnonAddict]

I'll bid $25 for the Lakoocha.

[murahilin]

I'll bid $25 for the Lakoocha.

You gotta be 18 and over the bid, sorry dude. Otherwise, I will need to get your parent's permission.

Thanks for the offer, but we aren't taking monetary donations at the moment. Maybe we can auction of things like books or DVDs for non-US members.

Murahilin,

Can bid plants be held for a few months (I would not mind paying a reasonable holding fee)? Reason I ask is I will be in South FL, ready to plant in June.

Oh... That stinks. Well I can hope this forum will be here in 7 years . I will try asking my parents.

Since Patrick is the one taking care of the trees, I will have to check wit him but I doubt he will mind holding them for a few months.

I plan on adding a grafting set complete with a German made Tina fixed blade grafting knife w/sheath and a small supply of grafting materials (perforated Buddy Tape, Grafting Bands, and some clear poly grafting tape).  I will post some photos this evening.  I would like to avoid holding plants any more than a week or so.

Thanks for the fast response.

Damn....I really want the lakoocha , never been able to grow one from seed...

[Mike T]

It sounds like it would be easiest to have Florida and perhaps California base for the plants themselves.I am happy to donate a variety of seeds that someone may have to plant out if the auctions are to be ongoing.

[pj1881 (Patrick)]

Here's a nice grafting setup, a German Tina fixed Blade grafting knife complete with sheath and grafting materials including a couple yards of perforated Buddy Tape, Vinyl Grafting tape, some latex Grafting bands and even some parafilm!

This one starts out at $25! Auction ends on this one midnight Saturday/sunday! EST

[dongeorgio]

I'll open the bidding on the grafting set up at $30

I may not be able to follow the auction of this plant,because it will be difficult to import plants into Indonesia.
Importing seeds and plants into Indonesia is very difficult though to have a complete documents,because Indonesian customs is corrupt.
An auction of things like books or DVDs is a good idea,it could also farm tools.
I'll wait for that auction.
