wickedfrags auction items! Sunset Monti, "Grape Jelley" subglabra, wicked a. cytherea

Public viewed bidding. It will make for much less overlap in bids you get to your message box.

People are going to complain since someone will likely wait until the last minute and post a price 1 dollar higher than the last bidder right when the auction closes. There really isn't anything you can do about that, just bid as high as you want and don't feel bad if someone out bids you.

I appreciate the opportunity you are trying to provide Canreef, plus this will draw people who want these corals to sign on to Canreef. It's a win/win situation in my opinion. Of course people are going to try and make it complicated, but that just seems to be the way of the internet forum.

I think it's a great idea Dave, and I know I'll be bidding!

Cheers,

Scott

Again, thanks for the feedback everyone.

Well, think I have decided on the the procedure. I will post a small and very wicked frag pack with a very reasonable price attached to it. The starting price and all subsequent bids will include shipping right to your door anywhere in Canada.

There will be a defined end date, and the date with the end date and time being determined by the canreef.com date and time. High bidder will have 48 hours to pay for the pack.

The high bid publicly submitted and posted in the specific/official auction thread in the wickedfrags forum before the auction end date will receive the frag pack. Bids/prices submitted via email and/or PM will NOT be accepted.

Price will include shipping to one address. While bidding with a fellow reefkeeper may help secure your favorite piece, in the event shipping multiple packages is required additional costs will apply. Also, should you care to add a few more frags to your order, my standard shipping container can hold apx. 8-10 SPS frags.

Stay tuned for the pics and the low low starting price! Cheers.

You mentioned this wasn't for locals but for Canreef members. What about those that are in southern ontario and are memebers?

[wickedfrags]

Fair question, I generally think not that many locals are on this board. That being said, I always encourage local reefkeepers (Ontario and Toronto) to join canreef whenever possible as I feel it is a good community, so of course locals can bid.

My intent is for this auction is to be for all canreef members, perhaps all canreef members that have been on the board since at least December 1, 2008 (don't want people to think anything funny is up!).

FYI, the starting price, and any subsequent bids will include shipping anywhere in Canada. There will be no shipping discount on the final price if you live in Ontario despite the fact that shipping charges may be less than shipping to ship to BC, AB, SK etc. Hope this seems reasonable.

I like the idea or including shipping with the bid, as we know shipping to the west is a nice little penny in itself.

[wickedfrags]

Ya no kidding - just shipping can cost me as much as $80 for my standard shipping container, not to mention the cost of the best container I can buy and a heat pack or two. Can be looking at almost $100 just in shipping and materials...

So when are we going to get this show on the road?
