NASC Auction will open in...

Read the rules first :)
NASC auction is OPEN!!

Trading chain

Pearidiver will take Lois's lowii x campanulata and will offer the Orbea semitubiflora at this point. Who will cover for the shipping Pearidiver?
 
Since Lois and I will be covering the shipping on our ends, I think whoever wants the Orbea cutting should get it. Shouldn't be more than about three bucks though. (the lowest parcel rate now is $2.25 I believe) On something that small I usually just say ping it back to me via snail mail when you get it, the actual amount. Should that person prefer Priority then a small box would be about six, and I would throw in a few other things just for the halibut. PP is ok too.
 
Bob, I think pearldiver took the cutting and offered the stepedia. Lois took the stepedia and offered lowii x campanulata. Then pearldiver took that cutting to and offered orbea.
 
I think that is it. The shipping on the Orbea will be up to the next in line, app. $3 for the one piece, or if they prefer Priority, say $6 and I will throw in some other stuff. A few succulents maybe some U. gibba if they want. A cutting of this or that. or email to discuss.
 
I'm amused how quickly this became a very muddled, confusing process ;-) I have things coming available for trade, but I think I will just post these as solo trades.
 
Perhaps an addendum along the lines of, "Trading Chain, or the Second Law of Thermodynamics" would be appropriate.

Nonetheless a good idea, guys. Maybe it could be structured differently so that it's not so confusing?
 
I think some people just didn't read it out fully before replying. I loved the concept and idea. Just not everyone reading fully I guess.
 
How about restarting this? It was a pretty good idea. Some nice things came my way as a result. To that end, I would propose if five or more folks agree to participate and carry it forward, for the first two items that go out I will pay the shipping (to the shipper via Paypal) up to $6 per. As I understand it (perhaps not always) the person on the receiving end was to get the postage.
