Would anyone be interested in different types of auctions?

The auctions are great, I build up a nice collection over the years at a very fair price.
I do like the suspense around it, winning an auction is very rewarding imo.
Not just winning the seeds but placing a bid and checking in around the time that it expires is an experience in its own.
That said I would not like to see the known format disappear but some variation could be fun.
I do miss the "spring cleanings", I've seen some gems pass in the last years and these had a good number of bidders so it was not easy to win.
Pherhaps one of these new formats could be used in a spring cleaning auction or an auction of not yet released genetics?
Keep up the work and thoughts.

I appreciate the feedback. The reason I decided to run this poll is because I’m currently studying different auction types and how they work. While we are not considering changing our current auction format, I was curious to see if there would be interest in trying out different types on a separate page, while still keeping the existing ones.

If it ain't broke don't fix it would be my opinion.
However many of us are getting old now and a bingo type format might be appreciated.
Everybody puts in a certain amount until the price has been reached then a game of bingo ensues to see who gets the seeds.
A little light entertainment for those long cold winter nights.

As long as the traditional Auctions remains, having a special auctions for limited release or seasonal specials would be nice. Perhaps a special auction for test crosses that Shanti doesn't want to pursue?
It'd be cool to see more Spring Cleanings. I haven't seen one yet, but would love to throw my hat in.

Maybe even private auctions for those with 190+ posts?
Especially for tester auctions, filter out the hoi polloi

Maybe the auctions are actually perfect as they are.
They certainly have alot of fans here and after I worked them out I am one too.
Something that would be cool is freebies with orders over 100 euros etc.
The more you spend the more and better the freebie's get.
That could also be a good way to naturally get anything that needed testing out into the community.
At the forum there could be a place to report on these strains, to give feedback etc.

You are already getting extras.
It's not hard to give freebies away to friends and at the same time help spread a bit of love.
I thought it was a good idea anyway if not a new one.

I'd love to see some more seed trading going here and on other forums.
Some strains are just impossible to get at a good price (mango\nevil's haze) at the auctions,
15+ seeds per pack are in any way too many for small home growers.
so much stock is being kept in fridges for years,
so many growers would love to crack only a few of those seeds

Ok I didn't know that!
thanks for sharing
Yeah of course dude!
Variety, just like change is always positive. Tf only 20 vote. Btw BOTS R ALLOWED AT THE AUCTIONS. No way a second after me they just put maaany times +0.50 and oh they win right. Breaks my heart, I’m just gonna buy straight the full price and not waste my time again
