Auction for FOOD!? You've got to be kidding me! Just fucking give the food you'd throw away to the people that NEED FOOD! It's not that hard at fucking all! Stop trying to squeeze every last cent out of the people that have nothing! I don't want to go to a food shelf every month to not go hungry even though I'm working, but I have no choice! I'm sick of living in this piece of shit fucking world!

There IS the problem with a food auction. If I bid $5 on a box of canned food and the guy next to me says $6, I then have to up the bid to $7. Then he says $8 and I go....no thanks. He gets the box for $8.
RenaissanceFaireMan
PLUS you can sell food, like a farmer's market....also the PLM sells chickens, goats, rabbits, cows, horses, geese, et al.
RenaissanceFaireMan
There's literally nowhere else you can buy/sell a grown chicken. Much less any other livestock like rabbits, pheasants, turkeys, ducks and such.

most farmers, especially ones that would even bother with a little event like this, do it for a dit extra, and to give it to real people that want it, if you were starving, or just kinda hungry, I would just give you some food, like.. enough to eat yourself before it gors bad.

Wanna buy some hatching eggs? Good rooster, hens popping out eggs they won't sit on. Got an incubator?
Buy plain eggs., buy fancy eggs, buy blue eggs (Easter Eggers) or green eggs (Olive Eggers), buy dark eggs, buy eggs with spots/speckles?
I've sold eggs for prices you wouldn't believe because they don't look like the plain white eggs you buy at WalMart.
DustinJL
I wish there were more people like you in my area.

Some food is sold/wrote off before it goes "bad". Some food is just near to or has expired.
We also sell food, fresh and from the farm like a farmer's market.
We've made some good money selling farm fresh eggs, often selling "hatching eggs". Eggs that aren't washed, aren't cooled, have a rooster....suitable for making more chickens.

i really want chickens, I would have to basically build the opposite of jurassic park though...
RenaissanceFaireMan
It's easy, you have a coop and you buy chickens. Chickens start laying eggs...if you have a rooster, you can then hatch eggs to make more chickens.
wobblecopterrrr
;to keep up with the chickens eaten by: eagles, owls, bobcats, mountain lions, ermine! I bet otters eat chickens, given the chance, elk certainly will.. you see my issue?..
RenaissanceFaireMan
Note there's plenty of places that allow you to have hens, but no roosters. Chickens will lay eggs just fine without a rooster....

OSL, nobody is stopping me
RenaissanceFaireMan
Look at it this way, if you can't afford food at the supermarket....bid what you CAN pay.
DustinJL
What about the person that has one less cent than you? What if you are the person with one less cent? It's still an extortion of the poorest people in society, and I know because I'm one of them.
RenaissanceFaireMan
Bought 4 boxes of chips, each for $6 each. Each box had at least 6 bag in them so I paid $1 a bag.
RenaissanceFaireMan
I'm sorry, did you even watch the video? Nobody wins a bid at auction with "one less cent".
RenaissanceFaireMan
Have you never been to an auction before?
DustinJL
Yeah, and I'm always someone that has less money than someone else! An auction only benefits the person selling the items, and the person looking to buy with the most money!
RenaissanceFaireMan
So if you were selling an item at auction, you'd want the best price...yes? If you're a buyer, you want to pay the least price, yes?
Yet somehow you are against this practice?

RenaissanceFaireMan
Meh, I'm always looking for a good deal; a value buy. Sometimes another person wants something more than what you're willing to pay for. Sometimes you win and get a good deal.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
RenaissanceFaireMan
Say a guy wants to sell his lawn mower at auction...the bid starts at $10. Someone bids it up to $12.50. Then it goes to $15, $20....$25 and then nobody else bids. Buyer sells for $25, usually minus a commission to the seller.
DustinJL
Yeah, no shit. And I'm the guy that only has $5.
I don't want to hear someone pinching every last cent they can possibly get out of people act like they are helping people in need. They put poor people like me up against each other, waiting to see who is able to scrape together an extra penny more than the other poor person, then act like they are a good person when they make $10 bucks off a person that needs help, and another person that needs help goes hungry because of one less dollar.
RenaissanceFaireMan
This auction doesn't deal in pennies like that. Who is making $10 off a person that needs help? IDK what your situation is but obviously you have a computer and/or a phone with internet access. Do you need help?
