| That's right people... Let's hear some Auctioning I'm sure most of you know about USARK and what they stand for... If you don't no worries check them out at USARK.org It was mentioned by another member that they wanted to auction off things and donate a portion or the earnings to USARK... Like the people that are doing that already I think it's a GREAT IDEA so without farther wait I give you...
1.0 Lemon Blast Male 300-400 grams Flawless all the way around currently eating stunned live small or wean rats once a week....
He is the one in my Sale Phase One ad.... the is a LOW reserve on him significantly lower than that of his asking price... Once again this is an Auction that proceeds will go to USARK
From this Auction I will donate HALF of the profit to USARK
This Auction Will END ON FEB 17TH AT 11:59 PM EST |

| I didn't see a starting bid, but if it's open, I'll start it at $200. Is that an ok first bid? |

| I do it's an old one although I'll get an updated one later tonight and FYI I've received emails on this guy and the current bid is over what the current bid here is for him...  |

I could but IMO that would be unfair to the current person with the high bid... Say you currently have the high bid with 500 ( NOT ACTUAL BID PRICE ) I go back and write everywhere I have it posted saying the bid is at 500
if the bids not close then I may have ruined the chance's for that person to receive/win the auction... IMHO I don't think that would be fair... If anyone feels that I'm incorrect by doing it this way let me know and if the majority rules |

| If it was going to be a silent auction you should have said that from the beginning. Also replied I to your ad and sent an email about your DH albino clown and never got a response. |

| Agreed with above, the whole purpose of an auction is to get two people who really want something to battle it out and whoever has the highest bid wins, which I am sure you know, but keeping bids from being seen IMO will not help raise the price. Yes a silent auction, you will have several people place their bids and the highest wins, but that is not what we are doing here. The purpose is to raise enough money so that you and USARK specifically will benefit. |

Did you send it as a reply to the post or an email... That thread is still there ( couldn't delete because there's an additional post there But that group is sold... Ships Monday/Tuesday have to check emails on date but there going to Cali...
I never said you had to bid on the auction and make the bid within the thread... Some people do prefer being anonymous I simply figured ( and maybe I'm wrong for not putting it in writing ) that people would bid the way they preferred whether it be within the thread or by sending an email/pm ( keep in mind It may take me a day or two to get around to checking Pm's Email is the best way to contact me other than calling/texting me) to me on the auction...
I apologize for any mis understanding I've created by this Next Auction I will be more thorough and include everything as well as the ideas of other members to make the process as easy as it can be.

Emails will be posted.... Usark will benefit either way as half of what this guy sells for will be donated to USARK Me personally many wont/don't believe this when I say it but I don't care about the money NOT the reason I got into this hobby... I got into it because I enjoyed and enjoy working with the animals I do have and keep... Money was never the motive |

Great!!! I didn't mean to sound harsh and was not implying anything negative towards what you were doing. I would hope that you are not in it for the money as well as all the other keepers and breeders on this forum! Thanks for hearing us out! |

| Sorry it's taken so long to respond I've been trying to get things organized in the reptile room as well through out the rest of the house... Docwade87 there's no hard feeling and in order for this to work for all of us I have to hear y'all out I know you didn't mean anything negative by it.
SMD58 I agree next one I do I will outline the rules and try to get everyone's opinion on how it should be done to make things smoother next time...
Draftinjr88 the current bid is 405.00 ( I'll post emails when I return from bringing my fiancee to work )
Zues the reason they where priced the same is I have other larger het clown female's and the normal dbl het albino clown was replaced with a morph dbl het albino clown So I really simply didn't need her anymore. If you did send an email to my email account I honest to God did not receive one ( I don't check my spam folder simply delete it as from 6am to when I check it at night there's over 250 spam message's ) I do sincerely apologize for that.
