I am selling the Transparent Hen incubator that I talked about in:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=184214

I just wont be able to turn the eggs manually. I am not around enough on a consistent basis.

See the link for pics and info.

This is a silent auction for my BYC friends. Top bid by the 31st of May gets it. You pay the shipping.

PM me with your bid and I will announce the winner but not the final top bid.

I DO have the right TO REFUSE any or all bids. I'm not going to let this thing go for $5.00.

I will remind everyone (shhhh.... bumping

) a couple days before the end of the auction to get your bid in.

Good luck bidding and hope the winner enjoys a bunch of hatches!!!!

I would say the only problem with the auction is you don't know if you need to bid higher. How will manage that so someone would have the opportunity to win?

That is the point of a silent auction. No games. (or is it all a game...) Make a bid and if your is high enough, you win.

Think of it as placing your highest bid on Ebay except you need to be sure it is your highest bid because the only way you can change it is to place another bid.
 
do you know the wieght so I could figure out shipping, also what way do you plan to ship through UPS, or what.


I'm interested, but need these questions answered before I decide on a price to bid.

Really no different from putting your name, bid and contact info onto a card and put it into a box at a big convention or something similar. Even banks will do silent auctions, where you make your offer, and at the deadline, they choose the highest payer. Good luck with it.

I went to the local UPS store and had the package weighed.

It is 8 lbs. and is 12"x13"x20" in size. (the closest box I could find)

Instead of me bugging the guy for a dozen different quotes to zip codes all over the country go to: http://www.theupsstore.com/qcc/qcc.asp

Enter
the info and it will give you a quote.

My zip is 56019



Sorry I didn't get this all to you earlier, with the holiday weekend things are a little messed up.

I've received 6 bids so far. Even had a couple that upped their first bid!

EDIT: I forgot to add. Money Orders, Cashier's Check, or PayPal is fine with me. If picking up (?), cash works too!

Is there a place for silent auctions or is this one we just send to you?

Also, have you actually hatched from this incubator?

If yes, how did it do on holding temps, etc.

Thanks.
