*** OKIES in the BYC ***

[luvs2garden2000]

I developed a head cold this morning and cant even look outside without my eyes watering up to go out and see. Not my fault the thing decided to have a late night snack, it has food and water. When Lynn gets home he can release it. Been doing good just glad the cold is going away.

The roads are clear but my drive is still snowpacked.
The hard part is that I have to climb a hill to get to the road and then climb a hill to get back to the house.
Yes, like when I was a kid and walking to school.
Uphill both ways.

Donnie,
You better stay away from those egg auctions, or you're gonna get in trouble.

I saw where 10+ lavender Ameraucana eggs already had a bid of $190 with ten hours left.
I can't imagine paying that much for an eggs.

I completely agree, and that isn't even 10 chickens!!!! Sounds like a chicken slot machine to me and the house always wins in slots.

Kathy, I was looking at the bid history and to me it looks like something is wrong becasue there are several times where the same person raised their own bid. Is there something goofy in the BYc process or are these people really bidding against themselves?

I don't begrudge anyone for getting all they can from their eggs and birds but I can't believe people would take a chance and spend that much on eggs with no guaranteess.

That's how the auction system works, just like on ebay. You put in your highest bid, and it only raises to the highest amount 25 cents above the bidder below your bid. You may bid $100, but if the high bidder below you is $50. then your bid will show as $50.25 until someone else comes and bids higher.
