I agree, Teresa. Especially when the bidding war gets out of hand.
Believe me, I know that auctions are all about bidding against others. This one particular buyer seems to be buying up quite a bit of seeds I am interested in. It's rather frustrating. I wonder if he/she is turning around and selling them somewhere else? I see the name constantly. I kept hoping this buyer would get their fill so that others get a chance, but that isn't happening yet. Buying now is often cheaper than during the Winter months. The bidding wars really get crazy during the non-gardening days of Winter! LOL!
