If you're a seller, please post to this thread if you would be interested in selling through a DG auction system. I want to gauge what kind of activity we would have if we launched such a feature this month.

Please post and say something like "I would sell".

Once I am established with extra plants, I believe I would sell on a DG Auction Site. We used to sell on eBay, like many others, until the fees became outrageous.

I am thinking seriously about it. I would have speciality annuals ( strobilanthus . lantanas etc) and lots of tropicals-a lot of different types of alocasias/colocasias, bananas, heliconias, tropical plants like jasmines etc

I'm not a real seller, just a hobbiest; but I would sure use DG over Ebay for the 1 or 2 that I occasionally sell.
Maybe just as important, I would buy here more. I don't bother going to ebay usually unless I need something, but a DG auction site I think I would troll through like I do the trade forums.

I would be honored to participate. I am dedicated to the classifieds on daves already, plant scout vendor and our website receives more hits from daves than ever. We love DG. Small Business/Family Owned. We should try to make it for DG subscribers only (may be a great idea to make it mandatory) so we know our members more. They have equal responsibility and dedication. I only use Daves as it is personable and all avid gardeners who know their STUFF! Plants, bulbs, roots, corms, cuttings, gardening books, gardening supplies ect... Great idea. Just dont want DG together. Separate site. We are definitely in year round. DEDICATED to DG

I would sell various JMG seeds, as well as other vines. I've got plenty of tall marigolds.

Would I be able to list gourds? I would think so - they are grown in the garden . . . gourds, and maybe next year specific gourd seeds (unless people wouldn't mind a mix this year!).

Count me in! I would love to sell here in addition to my ebay business (rarebulbs on ebay). I grow, buy, and re-sell both wholesale and retail Flower Bulbs.

One important thing for large sellers is some way to keep track of orders. I need some kind of invoice system etc. It would be hard to everything by email. If there were no way to track things efficiently I would be forced to offer only large, wholesale orders.

When you set this up will you be including pay-pal? I hope so. And a way for shipping costs to be handled as they are on ebay and etsy?

Post #4521971

This is so timely, I am starting a small business selling annuals and perennial bedding plants. What an opportunity. Count me in, of course taking into consideration the fees needed to secure a spot for selling, and all of the tax issues, and the state inspections, and the shipping, and inventory. Can you tell I am fairly new?

I would buy and sell. Not knowing what the fee structure is yet, I would imagine that it would be more reasonable than Ebay's.

I am not a small business, but I would still have plants and garden-related items to sell.

Ebay's greediness can be Dave's opportunity. Way to go, Dave!

I don't think it applies to someone selling their own items weather or not they purchased them for resale. I looks like they are going after the consignment shops that are selling other peoples items for them. What I am concerned with are sales taxes, if each state demanded that every seller collected sales taxes for items sold to people living within their borders, it would be a nightmare for the seller, so what I could see happening is everyone that is selling weather it is out of state or not would be required to collect and forward sales taxes for every item they sell. Every state is losing money everytime you purchase something on line and do not have to pat sales tax. I don't know about you, but I find myself buying more and more on line, often I can get a better price even with shipping costs involved, and I don't have to burn a gallon of gas ($3.30 9/10 today) or pay the 7.5% sales tax. For instance I have been buying whole bean fresh roasted coffee on ebay, and it is at least $2.00 a pound less than I would pay locally even with the shipping, the selection is better, and there is no sales tax. It is fresher too!

Here's another article from here in PA

It doesn't seem to be consignment only but rather things you put up for bid, rather than a fixed price.
And yes, you would have to collect tax from a buyer within your state.
I think Ohio is another state looking at this auctioneer license.
