Re: Seed Auctions- have they gotten out of hand

Yes, they have gotten out of hand.  Atlantic Giant seeds should not be sold in any way, shape or form by anyone for any reason other than Howard Dill or Ray Waterman.
Auctions in particular do not benefit the majority, they eliminate the majority.
Organizations can raise money through other methods such as corporate donations, entry fee's, fund raiser's etc. If the seed is free or reasonably priced such as Howard Dill's, Isn't it much more enjoyable to grow ?
