Nick's final sale

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

Gary, did you get one? How about anyone else? It looks like I may have gotten that first compot group. The only reason I'm not 100% sure is that I sent the e-mail from work and Outlook at work doesn't always go as planed. I'll feel better after he notifies me. I'm willing to trade a compot for a compot if I really won.

Is it over!? I was in meetings all day!!! Can somebody post a link please?

Eric try this: http://www.tannaci.com/

OK, thanx! Yaaaaaaaaaaay! I didn't win anything! :crazy:

Dang it, missed species by a few bucks.
On the other hand,looks like I got everything else I bid on and the total for all is less than my max bid was just on Species. Will have plenty to trade or sell if anyone is interested. Like Bob, I want the confirmation from Nick before I'm 100% sure.
Here's what I should be getting.
274- 3 compots of Conco Lucia
194195- Matrix 68 plants
153- Bacon Trix 26 plants
166- ConConBell 8 plants

Diane, congratulations on all of your wins. I got confirmation that I won my compots so yours confirmation should be right around the corner. I haven't looked yet on what you paid for any of these but we almost bid against each other. I backed off on the species and never sent a bid, as I knew you where on it. 153 Bacon Trix was the only other one I was seriously going to put a bid on. I was thinking I could use them at our Oct. Orchid Sale. So glad it went to another member!

I lost out on every bleeping thing I bid on. I didn't bid low either. I really wanted some leucochilums. Oh well.

Gary, did you get one?

I got the 161162 S. Gratrix. It's a really good deal at less than $6/plant with most in bud. I wanted some of the albums, but the price went to high.

 

[goldenrose]

I bid on a couple of packages; haven't heard back yet or seen a final update on the website. The species package sold for a good price, didn't it?

Yep - at least I think so - $855 for 65 plants, 2 budded, they appeared to be decent size seedlings.

Thanks,I was trying to forget species went for 5.00 over my bid. Thought bidding would keep going up, but nope!

Am very happy with all I'm getting,and surprised,too!

1 compot of Conco Lucia is spoken for.

True, but remember that the winner's maximum bid could have been much higher. You could have bid $100 more and still lost by $5.

Don't you guys and girls find it funny that there has been no discussion of Nicks plants on the other paph forum?

Whaaaaat other paph forum? Ours is the only one that matters.:noangel:

 

[ohio-guy]

I don't look at the other forum, but I did wonder if they were bidding too....

Nice yardsale.

:rollhappy::rollhappy: Oh so true!

There appeared to be some good bargains at the end.
The compots were the hard ones to me to decide how much to bid on. How many seedlings were in the compots? Some compots looked rather full with plants that needed individual pots, others a bit sparse. The species compots had a total of 6 - 1 bella, 2 leucos & 3 niveums - $90/compot, yep $540 for the package. That surprised me, if there's 20 seedlings/ that's not bad but if there's 15 or less ... well ... hopefully they're very vigorous & a good % awardable!
It's dangerous when you meet other members on this forum which think like you & the same things appeal to them too - addicters feed addicters!
Eric, one of my enablers, & I went in on the S.Gratrix x Macabre X. It was funny, my first reaction was 'oh yuck', then I put my breeder's hat on & asked what would each one contribute? Then I hear from Eric, are you bidding on anything? I put a bid in on the Macabre X! If it's the best of both, could be a pretty nice cross, we'll find out! We also had to take a shot a the big seedlings package, we both agreed we were nuts! Thank goodness someone rescued us by outbidding us!

I think I was had the 2nd high bid on the seedling package. I was a good deal given the # of plants and I could have gone higher, but it's probably best that I didn't win that one.

Good point,Gary! Thanks!
Who knows how high bidding could have gone! I think I got a much better deal on plants once I gave up on the Species package.
