Lack of Participation in St. Judes Auction

[4runr]

What's up with that?
There used to be lots of fun and carrying-on during the Auction.
Kinda dead.

[Alexander Traditional]

Yeah I know. I bid an idea up I was already top bidder on earlier.

[Eric Krewson]

I usually donate a ton of stuff I make in my shop, this year I had a botched hip replacement, standing in my shop is troublesome so I couldn't get my heart into it this year.

The hip is getting slightly better but it has been 7 months.

[Roy from Pa]

Yes it's a little slow.
I see you bid on my arrows, Kenny:)

I am having trouble fi ding the link to the bidding pages. I can find the donation page, but not the bidding pages. That might have something to do with it. I haven’t been around in awhile, but I don’t think I have lost that much bb savvy.

[Wile E. Coyote]

Yep, for some reason bidding pages are not showing up today. I had placed a bid on an item Friday, went to check it today and bidding pages arent there

[Roy from Pa]

Just checked 10 seconds ago, they are there.
Over on the far right where it says St Jude auction 2021 forums, there is a tiny box unread posts, if it's a +, click the box to a -.

[Pine]

Guess I'm not seeing what you aren't.
I check in every couple ours all day long.
I click on "new posts sense your last visit"
I'm seeing several new posts on St. Jude. 
And the bids are mostly higher than the item is worth.

Post-covid doldrums, I think. We are like bears just waking up from hibernation, and we are not up to speed yet. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

[durp]

I just got back from bear hunting and I say the bears are far more active than the biding...I bid on the hope bow before I left and I'm still high bid 

[Hawkeye]

I know it is easy to be lazy... or distracted by life, but previously there was a link to the auctions on the home page.  Perhaps everyone isn't remembering, or maybe taking the time to leave the Powwow and go to the other links. (?)

Guilty.  Working crazy hours and in the middle of moving is my poor excuse.  Try to do better next year.

[Petrichor]

I’m encouraged that some of the bidding seems to be doing very well despite the year we’ve all had. The fact that items are still being donated and people are still bidding is encouraging to me.

I don’t know, over $1000 for a fry pan seems pretty good to me !!

[Wile E. Coyote]

Roy, my screen doesnt show the forums. Perhaps this is happening with others

[STICKBENDER98]

Everything is showing up when I scroll down, been watching and bidding on my PC and phone, have used the drop down box at the bottom on my phone, maybe that will help???

Easy answer, I haven't the money to give for more than what an item is worth.  Glad many of you have excess cash, but some of us don't.   

[GCook]

I'm in the middle of purchasing another 40 acres and helping my daughter purchase a home. 
Plus we just leased 800 acres and need to sublease that to recoup that money.
I'm keeping a pretty close watch on the bank accounts right now.

Guess you weren't here when Kim Coot's 2 dozen cookies went for $6000 and little  Delainy's 2 pound cakes went for $7000.   

[rastaman]

Those days were fun with the good natured "fights" that drove the price of an item that was really worth very little out of sight!
