I have a limit on what I am willing to spend for an auction. Either I win it for that price (or under) or I don't. My limit is my pocketbook and that is how I bid. Y'all want the same thing I am bidding on, then you'll have to bid higher than me! I agree that the sellers are on the auction not to give away plants or seeds, but to profit from them.
But I will also say that I see some sellers starting their bidding off high. I immediately overlook those auctions. The other thing that I have seen recently is that some sellers are only offering 3 seeds. I pass on those too. From experience, if those 3 little seeds don't germinate, then I have to request a refund (which I don't like to do). I always plant 3 seeds to start with, and hold back 2 just in case something happens (from a win of 5 seeds). With only 3 seeds, I have no backup seeds. No thanks. I pass on those auctions. That is my perspective as a buyer......
