| dave,
I am sure somewhere the guidelines are posted for what is to be sold.
forgive me for asking because I am sure the topic is here...somewhere...
I thought that maybe if the topic would be here, in this thread, it would eliminate having to scan through many other threads. (although good info are on all the other threads)
Can wind chimes or bird houses be sold?
Will it be just plants, seeds and books... |

| We don't have a basketmaking forum, otherwise I'd be there showing pictures. :) I got into basketmaking a couple months ago and find it quite an addictive and enjoyable diversion. My "good" creations so far are an egg basket, a huge melon basket (it's shaped like a watermelon) and a small cute melon basket. I collected walnuts the other day and I'm going to experiment with dyeing them. They were made with typical rattan.
Later this year I'm planning to start making baskets from Bois d'arc and Sweet Gum, both of which I have hundreds of trees. I think the bodarc wood will make amazing baskets! |

That is not to say that I don't think making baskets is a great hobby. Like knitting etc, it must be very relaxing. |

Listing cell phones and such garbage like that is useless as nobody here at DG is going to be looking for it. Sellers for those kinds of things will be better of sticking with ebay. |

| Dave,
We have quite a few farmers on here that will want some items that are not garden or craft related. They will want to be selling things that we often talk about on the forums.
I really want to be able to sell my hatching eggs here. Will that be allowed? I used to sell them on ebay and would love to have an outlet for them here. We have quite a group of people on here that raise fowl. I know others will want to buy and sell their eggs also. They will want to sell other items related to that field as well. Please don't exclude this group. We already exchange plants and eggs with the same people and would love to sell some of the same.
Sometimes the only way to find rare spieces is online auctions or sales. I would love to be able to buy eggs of chickens that I can't find other places as well as sell some of my hard to find chicken eggs.
Farming and gardening go hand in hand for many of us. Please include the farming side of us.

Something really simple, such as a tab for garden auctions, a tab for alternative energy auctions, a tab for arts & crafts auctions, etc."
I'm really disappointed with EBAY, too and am ready to pull out. I don't even cover my expences, and I have tried to sell a wide variety of items both new and used, running over a hundred auctions all the time for months.

Somebody said somewhere though, that they didn't want to look up a plant and get a 'flowered t-shirt'.
I don't have any flowered t-shirts for sale, LOL, but wouldn't that come under gardening/flower related 'stuff'?
Also, I have cross stitch charts, and needlepoint kits and cross stitch kits that are gardening/flower themes.
Will those be allowed?
Most of the things I sell are not plants, in fact I have never sold a plant on ebay. But I have a lot of garden themed items.

| Personally, I would like to see more hand made goods. Whether it is childrens' clothing, bird feeders, doilies, quilts... As there is a crafts discussion forum, perhaps these goods could be included. With so many imported items causing a rukus about shoddy workmanship, it might be nice to be able to obtain well crafted, Dave's Garden member, hand made goods.
*9kittymom...When I used to be able to see better (sigh), I scoured second hand stores for old cross stitch and needlepoint charts. Needlework is an art form AND has historical significance! :-)
...and you can store your current project in one of Dave's baskets!
Going once, going twice...sold to the lady with the needlepoint project!

| A HUGE sorry to all flowered T-shirt making and wearing folk out there!! No harm was intended! I have nothing against flowered T-shirts but, it would be nice to have tabs as suggested so when you are searching for one thing something totally different doesn't come up. That was the point I was trying to make.
For instance, when I'm on Ebay and type "Japanese Morning glory plants" in the search function I will get about 20 listings for Morning glory plant T-shirts, vases, paintings, dolls, cards, etc... Not that there is anything wrong with those products but when I'm looking for plants it would be nice if only plants come up. Having tabs for crafts, plants, clothing etc... seems like it would help.
In truth I will be happy with anything Dave & team put out. I sure they are working their tales off to make a auction we can all be proud of.
Thank you

I'd think dried flowers fit into "garden related" without question... you'll have to do some careful packing... LOL, I was moving some dried lavender bouquets around today and there are little lavender "buds" all over! :-) |

| This is exciting. I have needed to put stuff on eBay for years and it's just gotten too much like the local 'fleas' with mass-produced crap taking up too much space. I rarely even go to eBay any longer to find what I want. I'm not very fond of many 'new' things and love hand-crafted and/or vintage for both home and garden. Just plain better made. There are exceptions of course. Those tools that are better technology and design always get my attention. That being said, here's a quote from Dave from above: "If it's home and garden related (and I think crafts are related) then it's appropriate for DG." I'm having a hard time deciding if some of my 1920s-40s vases, lamps, etc are appropriate? They are definitely 'home' and the vases sure work for gardeners. |

| So what kinds of things would we frown on? How would it be possible to narrow it down? Could you, for instance, say that no mass-produced, bought-for-resale stuff is allowed? I have many (like, 2,000) mostly vintage kimono & obi with flower themes that probably would qualify, but I couldn't always vouch for their ages. (Not that I plan to load up the auctions with kimonos -- just looking for an example. In fact, keep your stinking hands off my kimonos. I need all 2,000 of them. In fact, I just might go buy some more now that I'm thinking about it.)
Would we self-police or hope that market forces discourage what most of us consider to be crap? |

| That's a good question. As they say "one man's trash is another man's treasure." But I think we all would agree that mass produced shoes made in China would not be appropriate. A vintage kimono collection, to me, would be lovely, however. This is so hard...after all, none of us would be adverse to a high quality mass-produced gardening tool (like the recent bulb auger I bought) but, even though I love botanical prints, I wouldn't want to see 2000 of the same one being offered ad nauseam. Frankly, I think this point is going to be the hardest for Dave and Co. to decide...what is trash and what is treasure? |

| Summerkid, if that were the case (no mass-produced-bought-for-resale stuff) that would knock me out of the running to participate in selling to a great extent.
I paint pictures and do some craft work that are handpainted (I have found I barely cover my supplies when listed on an online auction) and I am growing plants (but doubt they are suitable for selling online and shipping). We are building some functional birdhouses, but since they are large and made out of wood, although we could make a profit on them, the shipping would be outrageous., so probably wouldn't sell well.
However, I do sell "mass-produced" decorative & functional birdhouses, garden art, etc, which fits within the "garden-theme" auction.
It's really going to be a tough call for Dave to decide what is and what isn't allowed. I guarantee you there are going to be a lot of upset people which ever way he decides...those that think he allowed too much, or those that think their items should have been included in the allowable list. Sure hope he has tough skin! |

| I am sure there will be different catagories.
If an item doesn't fit in a catagory, don't post it.
If you would like something or have something to sell that does not fit in one of the catagories, you could write in and ask for a catagory to be added, like Dave adds forums. If there is enough interest, it could then be added.
I think items that have no interest to DG'ers would just not sell. This may "weed" out the items pretty quick.

| As cpartschick said, I think the things that won't sell are going to weed themselves out very quickly. If you sell mass-produced plastic cell phone covers from China, chances are good you're going to sell them much better on eBay or one of the other sites than here. This just isn't the right market and you would be wasting your time. However mass-produced garden items will probably do very well here, but that market IS here. Other than screening out high-fraud areas like Wiis and Game Cubes and etc, and things that cross ethical lines, I think a lot of the categories are going to be (if you will pardon the continuation of the garden-y puns) self deadheading.. No market=no sales= no profit = time to move on. Does that make sense? |

| I've just been clued in on all of this and please excuse me if I'm being repetitive from someone else's comments.
One of the features that I HATE about eBay is that when I go and look for certain items, I usually do a search in ALL the categories (this is because there are quite a few sellers who don't accurately know where and how to list their items) so that I have the best options for what I'm looking for. If there could be a Quality Check on the items being listed in the categories, I would greatly appreciate it. Because, just as was said above, I HATE getting daylily printed Tshirts in the search results when I'm looking for daylilies (not to offend anyone), and vice versa.
Just a kind request, but I will be a user nonetheless. :) |

| Is it all right to sell my "button jewelry" on the auction? I am also doing folk art painting now. What's the consensus on crafts? I guess I should read upward because crafts are probably mentioned. I can post the button jewelry & folk art that are related to gardening style. I do a lot of that for some "mysterious" reason. When is the auction or flea market(?) going to start? |

| Right now it is all "Buy it now" - there is no bidding. You put it up at the price you want to sell it for and people choose to buy it or not. :-) You can find the Marketplace here: http://davesgarden.com/products/market/
Dave will have to answer the question about the jewelry. He is going to make categories soon, which will make things easier. :-) |

| Until we have categorization up, I'd prefer to keep it just gardening stuff - live plants and seeds, etc. Once categorization is in, that'll open it up to all manner of things. This should be soon! |

Oh, and Baskets! I saw some of your baskets Dave and they are Awesome! There is someone else on one of the forums that makes pine needle baskets that are pretty cool too ... hope she sells some of hers too! |

| But if Dave wants only plants & seeds at this point in time & not craft stuff, it really wouldn't be fair to others who want to sell crafts that are gardening-related, etc, if Dave wants to sell baskets, even if it is his market. Not trying to down ya, Dave, but the rules should relate to everybody. That way, it is completely fair. |

| I think the limitation for right now is that it has to be strictly gardening...so pots, tools, seed treatments, gardening books I imagine should be OK along with plants and seeds. But arts/crafts sort of things and other non-gardening things aren't allowed yet until Dave gets the classification system going and gives the go-ahead. |

| Dave, the Marketplace is awesome! We appreciate all your work in getting it up and running! :)
After re-reading a lot of the threads, I still don't know whether the decorative birdhouses and garden art (not handcrafted) that I sell, are allowed. If they are, would listing them under garden supplies be the appropriate category?
Thanks, Robin |

| When Dave made the new category for pet related items, he did mention specifically no sales of actual pets, just pet related items. So I assume that would hold true for live farm animals/poultry as well although only Dave can say for sure! But I expect especially with the cuter farm animals, baby chicks, etc you probably can run into similar issues as the puppy mills with disreputable people who are just out to make a buck and don't care about the animals. I know you're not one of those people, but I'm sure they're out there! |

| well, let me tell you, i spent a ton of money on eggbid and ovabid for hatching eggs, and got ONE little chick that is worth it's weight in GOLD out of ALL those eggs. so i figured if he allowed hatching eggs shipped, which is risky, then LOCALLY picked up livestock should be OK... but hey, i have no problem with whatever Dave decides...
currently i only have yearling goats and started chicks. just thinking in the future to next year when i can hatch out enough chicks to share with folks who don't want to risk buying from a hatchery. more and more people are looking for small breeders... DAVE? |

| I think if you want new categories just post here and Dave will take it under consideration. For now though he hasn't made separate categories for different types of plants, everything's just divided up according to whether it's plants, seeds, or cuttings. So if you've got things to list now I'd just use those, I'm not sure at what point Dave will feel it's necessary to start being even more specific and breaking down into categories based on plant type. |

| Hello all...
Opinions on a vintage Lucite Grape Vine decoration AND a large vintage painted metal milk container? (Its name is running away from my brain at the moment).
I looked at all the categories and really can't decide if they are allowed or not. One moment, I think they will work...they do seem to connect with gardens and farming. The next moment, I know they don't fit into any category perfectly.
Thanks for your help!

| With your description, what abut the crafts category or under the planters category? I look at both of those for something unusual to use as a planter, sitting the pot inside the container, or just to use as decor.
I'll be watching to see if you list these items.
