Let the bidding begin.
Letting newbies know that the auction lots for each club will usually be posted from a couple of days to a couple of weeks before the auction date. You will see the links on the home page.The rules for each clubs' auction will be with their auction list. I would suggest you print off a copy and pay attention to the auction to help things move along.

To enter the auction you will see the chat room on the left hand side for each auction as them come due.
There will also be other auctions listed on the message board for various clubs.
Plus on the Seed Auction/raffle thread. If you are bidding on these remember to watch in case of a winning bid or when there is multiple sets and you might win by being runner up if winner does not take all

Thanks for posting, spudder. Same goes for the silent auctions. READ THE RULES CAREFULLY AND CHECK IN OFTEN ON POSTS YOU HAVE BID ON AFTER THE CONCLUSION OF THE AUCTION, ESPECIALLY IF THE LOT HAS MULTIPLE SETS, until all sets have been claimed.

International shipments are a real challenge. It would be very helpful if international bidders could arrange a secure way of getting seeds from the U.S. safely through their customs agencies or other methods of getting seeds to them.

Spain has been a real challenge recently and Italy's Stefano Cutrupi has it figured out nicely for those clubs seeking his seeds.

TruckTech1471, Spain has been a real challenge recently ??

In Spain there is no problem in customs, all the seeds that we have sent this month of October to the USA have arrived well and in 8-9 days. I have sent more than 200 seeds this month to the USA and all have arrived.

Those that come from the US, all but 1 have arrived, which has taken 1 more month, because we had to complain to customs, since the shipment stated that they were Seeds in the envelope. Just a tip, do not put in the shipment that they are seeds, do not write anything, and the smaller the envelope the better. And there's no problem.
