One of those things we did a long time ago in a galaxy far far away was a little thing called Crazy Seed Trade. It provided an opportunity for new growers and growers like me with lots of stuff, but not as much $$$ to get some decent seeds outside the auctions.
So what is it you ask, well its like this. A 'lot' of seeds is put up for trade and people 'bid' on them here on bigpumpkins.com. This is not about money for bids, its more like a garage sale, horse trade, whatever you may call it. For instance someone puts up a 2447 Cooper 2014 (hey we all can dream) and people offer up their bid such as, 'I bid my grandmothers wig, 2 horseshoes, slightly used walmart gift card, packet of old twinkies and a used tie' Sometimes people throw in other seeds for trade, but in the end, who knows what bid may be accepted. Typically the person offering up the lot of seeds sets a end time for offers and all offers are placed in the message thread for all to see.

So with that I will put up a lot of seeds to mark the return of crazy seed trade. I'll keep it safe with my own seeds until I get more responses back on the other message thread.
So without further adieu, its time for the ever unimpressive, rarely fantastic, sometimes underwhelming...Crazy seed trade...

Lot 1 - The Return.... Some green some not so green.

1 1286 Hester 2010 = 1385 Jutras x 1068 Wallace
1 1083 Hester 2010 = 1290 Poirier x 1068 Wallace
1 1066 Hester 2010 = 1068 Wallace x 1385 Jutras
1 974 Hester 2010 = 1207 Young x 1288 Wallace
1 1027 Hester 2010 = 1467 Perham x 1288 Wallace

1 1029 Hester 2010 Squash = 800 Nielly x 750 Hester
1 885 Hester 2010 Squash (aka the beast) = 750 Hester x 800 Nielly
1 750 Hester 2009 Squash = 848 Mackenzie x Sibbed
1 729 Hester 2009 Squash = 848 Mackenzie x Sibbed
1 871 Hester 2005 Squash = 748 Koch x 980 Razo

Let the dust fly that that old squirrel skin see the light of day again... Bidding shall close at 9:00 PM Pacific Time November 7th.

Afveteran - Is your lot #2 a stand alone, and should we put it in its own thread so it gets some attention? I want to bid on that baby afterall, but I don;t want to confuse things either.

Cueball - Put up a Crazy Seed Trade 'Lot' and specify that you take only coin offers. I think that is legal in Crazy seed Trade, after all, its Crazy right? i might just bid on that one too!! I think I have a 1998 D quarter somewhere in AG condition.

Lets get this seed trade season off to a fun and entertaining start.

Farming- a bunch of catastrophies that result in a lifestyle

I have a cast iron clown that is circa 1930's. Its a coin bank that you put the coin on his hand and use the lever on his back to tilt his hand up to his mouth and deposit the coin!! His eyes even roll back in his head......okay, it's creepy,,,BUT I SAW JUTRAS on that list and now I need a new key board as this one is all covered in slobber.....also one slightly damp (I wiped it off for you and everything!) keyboard......

Linden, Mi.,

Cueball, what are you looking for (coins) we might need to talk.

11/8/2013 1:37:49 PM

Cornelius, Oregon

Well first off, thank you everyone for the bids. It is nice to see there are still some crazy people out there like me. The time has come for decision time...

Farmers daughters are always a hoot to have around, but I have enough cats. I have already polar bear plunged (naked in the kenai river during break-up season), so I decided to go with Farmer Ben as I have a weak spot for syrup. So, Farmer Ben, could you please email me at pumpkinguru@gmail.com as you are the winner (if you want to call it that...LOL)
More Crazy Seed Trads to come...
