Re: NFC: First 1999 NFC Online Auction Items - 2nd Update
Thusday morning E-auction update. Note that only the high bids are
listed, so if you want one of the items, you will have to outbid the
competition !
BTW, yesterday I accessed Mike Reed Enterprises' website
(http://www.mreed.com/). They sell frozen foods, flake foods and live
foods from their website and also advertise in the major fish mags. I
noted that they sell the same 2 lb lots of redworms which are up for bid
in the NFC E-auction (about 2000 worms in 2 lbs), which can also be used
for composting of food scraps for recycling purposes. However, they
charge FORTY BUCKS ($40) bucks for the same amount of worms, and
shipping charges are extra. All four of the current bids are only half
price of the retail value of the worms, so bidders might want to
consider upping the ante a bit.
Bids recorded as of 9:00 am 01/21/99. Please note that the lot content
is somewhat different than Robert's original posting, so feel free to
submit revised bids in accordance with the lots described below.
Remember that only the highest bids get the item(s) !!!!
