Seed Collection for Sale on Ebay

I feel I must respond about my decision to sell my seed collection.

But first let me clear up some misconceptions, the sale of my seed
collection is NOT to take my wife on a CRUISE or should I say is NOT now the
case. I understand some may be confused.

I was very ill in December and hopefully continue to recover, shortly after
my release from hospital I began selling things on ebay to give my wife a
dream Cruise she always wanted because it was a promise to her when in the
hospital to take her should I, or rather if I would be able to take her,
enough said on that.

The reason for selling unwanted items on ebay was because the sewage damage
we got to the house last summer depleted a lot of our savings. But now due
to being off work for an extended period it has wiped all of that out and
caused financial strain, the cruise is now totally out of the question. If I
wanted to sell my seed collection to take her on the cruise I would have
offered it up for sale a while ago. I would never sell my seed collection
unless I absolutely had no other choice, the decision to do this was a very
difficult one.

Here is a copy below of a response put on big pumpkins.com

I have emailed a good grower friend and explained in detail the reason's why
I am doing this, I won't go into that detail here. But explain that because
of severe health problems that started two months ago and the cost that
comes with it (meds, bills, etc.)I have no other choice but to try and
reduce the financial strain Trina and I continue to be under. By not only
from the sale of my cherished seed collection but some other items like our
second vehicle, etc.

I appreciate every ones views and the seeds given and traded to myself but
feel they can be best used right now by us in another way. I have not come
to this decision easily and Trina knows the very difficult choice I made and
that I am trying in some way to help take care of her and our two children.

A few seeds have been kept back in case I can grow this year or hopefully
next year. I hope and pray while you may not agree with my decision that you
understand at least the very difficult choice I made.

Please do not suggest or offer help, if you would like the seed collection
please bid, it would be greatly and sincerely appreciated.

Sincerely,
Ernie Pearce
