ABS Auction call for donations

Post by bambooweb »

If anyone has bamboo that they would like to donate to support the ABS please send in your photo and information.
Because of the location of the annual meeting this year in Hilo, Hawai'i plants cannot be shipped to the meeting so the auction will be held on-line and finished with photos at the meeting. There is more information at the auction site.

As photos and information come in they will be posted at
http://absauction.bambooweb.info/preview.php?
An example auction will also be started so people can see how it works.

__________________________
Plant donors for the 2006 ABS Auction need to include:

1. Photos of the actual plant or one of approximate size (Marked 'Actual' or
'Approximate') A ruler, or other object for size placed next to the plant will
help the buyer judge the size of the plant.

2. Photos or links to photos of the full-grown plant. These can be from the
donor or bambooweb.info. Photos can be any size will resize to fit on the
auction site.

3. Information on the plant. If there is information from the species list it
will also be included on the auction page.

4. Shipping information and any restrictions on where and when you can ship.
Also state whether you can hold the plant for spring shipping to the northern
states.

5. Price to ship to the lower 48 states. This price will be added to the bid
price and paid to the donor from the collected funds. If you are willing to ship
to other locations you need to state that in the shipping information and work
out payment with the bidder before the auction ends.

6. Price for a starting bid.

7. Contact information for questions.

To help the integrity of the auction an effort will be made to verify the
identity of the plant from the photo or other information from the donor.

The information and photos should be submitted before September 1st to allow
time to process the information and posting them to the auction site at
http://absauction.bambooweb.info/ . The items will be viewable on the website
before the auction starts on September 15th so the sooner that the information
is up the better.

Non plant items will be auctioned in Hilo but if you send a photo of the item it
will be put in the preview area of the auction site.

Please send the photos and information to absauction@bambooweb.info

I see the images of the "actual plants" that are up for auction, but is there any way you can put a hot link to the image gallery of the plant at Bambooweb.info? That way the bidder sees the actual plant and then the possibilities for that plant.

BooKing,
I could sell you the ornaments. After all they have been closer to a Parvifolia than you have. :twisted: :twisted:

Bill, thanks. I'll look forward to bidding on one of those ornaments. Though, I'm wondering how many parvifolia spores are on each of them? :roll:

:idea: Perhaps a section of parvifolia rhizome could be auctioned. Certainly the potential of it putting up shoots is worth something. :)

The legal issues that will arise when the undead walk the earth are legion, and addressing them all is well beyond what could reasonably be accomplished in this brief Essay. Indeed, a complete treatment of the tax issues alone would require several volumes.
