orchid auction email

[goldenrose]

Just wondering how many got this email too?
Will be interesting to see if it's a good alternative to ebay as people are getting tired of the fees.

Forgive me for being so forward with this, I'm trying to get the word out about a new site, Would you mind passing this along to your members? Thank you in advance, Mike

Yep, got it too. Might be interesting. Wonder where he got his email list from.

I didn't receive the email, but I'm checking out the website now.

It's been advertised a bit. I've seen it. Ebay has its knocks, but it's got a huge audience. It's always hard to compete with that.

Many years ago there used to be an orchid auction site. It didn't last long, but for a while I was getting some decent plants.

 

[SlipperKing]

no email here but it does have potential.

I got it too, to an email address I rarely use online, so I too wonder who they are and how they got my address. As to whether it'll fly, I doubt it. Kinda hard to compete with eBay.

Yes! That was bid4orchids.com, what a cool site is was. It actually worked as a real auction; item did not close until activity stopped. No last second sneaky bids. Oh please, bring back bid4! :sob:
