we made some apple butter

$25.00

Doggone it , Pat, I was going to bid $20 and you beat me to it! Do you think a jar of apple butter will survive shipping to Outer Canukistan? Some things I'd offer to locals rather than ship it if I got it, but if I were to buy this stuff, I want to eat it!

FWIW my work has taken much more of my time recently and will into the foreseeable future so I may not post much for awhile.

i shipped 3 jars to Arizona last year and it got there ok.

whoever wins it can count on me packing it very good.
i wouldnt want to buy something and have it break before i got it either.

I think we need to announce some clarification on this auction thing. This thread is headed six ways from Sunday.

Is the auction taking place right now in this forum, basically picking up where things left off with Al's unwanted jars, or is it going to be posted as a regular auction and started over in the auction board?

Is there going to be one auction for two jars or two auctions for one jar each?

im for one auction of 2 jars (one from each batch)and for it to be posted on the auction forum.

i want it to make as much money as possible for the site.

I'm for two auctions in the auction forum, because I think it will give more people an opportunity to bid.
Bidding will drop off as people meet their safe quota and consider themselves outbid. But with another auction for the other jar, they get another chance.

The money raised will be very close, cause it's one larger lump sum for both jars in one auction, verses two smaller lump sums from two auctions. The bidding will be coming from the same audience in either case.

What ya think?

whatever you thinks best is fine with me.

Your wayyyyyy to easy. You gotta at least fake a struggle

Go post your first auction, we'll get this puppy rolling, and when that ones done well fire up the other. Dont forget to mention how many days the auction will run.
