Where will the auction be held? Here on bigpumpkins.com? If so, where on this site? How does it work for beginners like us? Are all the seeds posted and you type in the amount you are willing to pay? Thanks for the clarification.

The auction will be here on bigpumpkins.com in a designated chat room. There will be an auctioneer who will run the auction and lots will be bid on one at a time. There will be a lot list posted in advance of the auction. Iceman will buy everything good!

We have NOT gotten approval from Ken yet to use the BP chat rooms. Ken hasn't yet announced dates for auctions here at BP. If it doesn't work out here we'll use the chat room at our own website.

You've got some great seeds listed... are raffles a hassle
or not pay off as well? Just curious.

Raffles are probably better for selling lesser known seeds especially if the raffle is well promoted.
But high demand (read expensive) seeds are best sold in an auction I think.

I'll agree with tremor, you won't find any 723, 846, etc at raffles. But, I think raffles give EVERYONE a fair chance at getting great seeds...Especially if you don't have deep pockets!

They both have pros and cons
