The following information is courtesy of Bill Hollenback, webmaster, bambooweb.info:
If you are donating a bamboo for the live auction, we would like you to include the following information:
- Photos of the actual plant or one of approximate size (Marked “Actual” or “Approximate”). A ruler next to the plant will help the buyer judge the size.
- Photos or links to photos of the full-grown plant. These can be from the donor or bambooweb.info. Photos can be any size, and we will resize to fit on the auction site.
- Information on the plant. If there is information on the species list it will also be included.
- Value of the plant. The starting bid will be half of this value.
- Shipping information and any restrictions on where and when you can ship.
- If you will be sending the plant to the auction winner we need the following:
- Shipping information, any restrictions on where and when you can ship, and the price to ship to the lower 48 states.
- If no price is given the shipping cost is assumed to be the actual cost of shipping.
- If you would like to ship the plant to the conference, you may ship it to Bamboo Sourcery, (666 Wagnon Road Sebastopol, CA 95472), and they will bring plants to the conference site… Please be sure it will arrive before November 1st. If you will be shipping or bringing the plants in person, provide all of the above information so that online bidders have access.
- Contact information for questions.
To help the integrity of the auction an effort will be made to verify the identity of the plant from the photo or other information from the donor. The information and photos should be submitted in September through October 10th to allow time to process the information and to post them to the auction site. Please try to donate early so there is not a big rush at the deadline. Please send the information to absauction@bambooweb.info.
