Let me sell your seeds on my consignment website GiantPumpkinsOnline.com. Putting your seeds on the website will make them available to growers who do not have time to send bubble packs or purchase seeds through auctions. Many growers have fantastic genetics that never get planted since nobody knows they exist. Who knows maybe you have that seed that eveyone will want in the future. Why not give it a try it's free and you can make some money to put toward your garden.

Thanks but for the time it takes to pay online or prepare a check for mailing a person can prepare a bubble. I'll keep mine to give away free and help out some new growers if they want.

Some of us are Cheap asses, (nice way to say we are limited on funds) and prefer the hunt for great seeds.

I remember the good old days when seeds were free and selling them was a no-no.

If we start selling seeds for profit, do you realize how many fake 998 and 1068 seeds will start appearing for sale? It'll open a can of worms.

Is this not the same type of idea as seedoutlet.com that Ray does a great job of running?

nope, Ray's deal is about breaking even, not returning a profit to the donors or himself on the seed exchanges. he's also putting them in those nifty tamper-proof packages to certify them.

Thanks Andy, I did not know that about Ray's site.

The only seeds I have bought are from the Dill's and now, more recently at auction.

Buying seeds from auctions is fine. Because they only need the profit to help run their club. And the seeds are mostly
donated by respectable growers. But if want to try selling them,well the growers will be the final determination on wheather it works or not. Good luck, Bill

buying seeds is not a crime.

if thats the only way a person can get the seed he or she wants then so be it. auctions, club promos and seed sales are also a form of purchase.

some growers prefer to go after just the seeds they want and dont care to bother sending out bubbles ,etc.
so seed buying for them is a viable option.

the crime is unless you are dealing with people or clubs that have established a good reputation for honesty and integrety you just dont know for sure what your getting.

thats the reason its very difficult for any start up seed sale venture and also why i have always grown only seed i know came from a good source.

same can be said for our sngpg seed promos. we only request seeds from growers we know and trust. by doing so our immage is also protected
