Oh, I didn't mean do it somewhere else DURING the live auction... that would
be even worse than it is now.  I would have it at a totally different time.
I actually REALLY liked the way we did it at the first 2 conventions.  It
was a social hour, with a cash bar and nibblies.  People really mingled, had
some very amusing "wars" over heavily contested plants, and everyone had a
great time.  One table closed out every 10-20 minutes, so there was always
something going on.

But then, if it were up to me, I'd do the WHOLE auction that way ;-)

Oh, OK.  If that's happening, yes, we have to put a limit on it.  We just
don't have enough buyers to support that!  I'd probably put a 2 bag per
species limit on, though, before I limited lots in general.  If you've got
someone who's got a lot of unusual species to share, we don't want to stop
them.
