Ian, if you'd like, I can ask Ken to remove these attempts at simplification.

PS---You could make some mulah by selling plants in the spring as well, I'd bet.

As always great to see you helping out clubs for much needed fundraising! Hope your seed counts went well? Quite the line up of BIG TIME seeds.

I did talk a lot to Ruben and we have gone against what he said and added extra seeds.
He is of course right if you are really wanting to make a profit, that is. Our problem is that selling seeds has never really sat well with us.
I’m not sure about Stuart but my concern is that we have devalued the seeds and the clubs will lose out on revenue.
So here is the way out ; next year the seeds will probably not be this cheap and all of the clubs will get plenty of extra support.

Ian, I told you the Value that 2020 Paton would possibly have at auctions, 100& would be a good purchase price for that seed, I think that in auctions you could pay that or even much more. I also think that selling seeds now before auctions harms clubs, because fewer seeds will be sold at auctions, but now many growers and clubs do it. Maybe it would be better to start sales after the auctions, but each cultivator or club can do what they want, that's clear. The price you have put for so many seeds is a great price, I think that with 35 packs you will have the budget for soil disinfection :) and you will sell them quickly. A pack with so many seeds for 100& is a great offer price

Seeds will not ever be 'hunted to extinction'. Without a decade(s)-long financial analysis, there is no telling whom benefits/loses out on seed sales. I'm no one to talk, but sell them for WHAT you want, WHEN you want and to WHOM. OBVIOUSLY, the growers' reputations are what sell the seeds to begin with. PS to all - it only takes ONE seed sprouted to claim 100% germination, lol. I usually do 2 or 3 of mine, but they're 'not worth' $100, $499 each, etc. eg

Ruben. Selling the seeds after the auctions is one thing that I didn’t think about. It’s very good point so next year we will sell seeds after the main auctions are finished. I’m doing seeds for the clubs as we speak and each one is getting two sets in two packs. That will give them the option to sell one this year and one next year when hopefully some will be proven.
Thanks for your advice my friend Ian

From what I could tell last season, majority of auctions did very well and there were bargains galore on many of them as well. All timing and amount of bidders, quality of lots a big factor. So many super hot seeds out there now, a big job in itself keeping up with them all!
