Re: Auction
Erik, et. al.,
I feel it went really smoothly last nite in general
and from a sales standpoint it was a success. I
appreciate being appreciated, although my job was not
nearly as hectic as the checkers. Problems I saw:
1. Many people left due to the "deep pockets" in the
front and I saw a lot of bored or somewhat irked
people . This was apparent by the number of empty
seats as the evening progressed. I know a few people
that really wanted the bogwood... This is
counterproductive to the well being of the club and
our auctions, so I like some of the mentioned
suggestions. Maybe we need a cap on number of items
purchased chosen as a percentage of total auction
items, e.g. "no one person can purchase more than 10%
of the items", or some such...
2. It seemed the traffic pattern in front of the
checkin/out tables was a little too hectic during the
auction with marking people, auctioneers, runners
people checking in new plants and everyone else. I
don't know if this could be choreographed a little
better. Maybe we could discuss that too.
3. I didn't see any pop or coffee/tea, etc. No
"biggy" though.
Everything else went great, and I was impressed with
the Barcode procedure, and actually getting the plant
names listed on the Recpts.!! Great Job everyone!!!
