with the amount of members bidding it wont overwork server

true steve, it would take a lot of bidding by a lot of members to overload the server, a lot more members than we have anyway..........so dont be put off bidding with the idea the server is going to overload.

word might have got round about another forum that had probs with an auction, but over 200 members were online to cause server probs

will be a mad rush saturday

hope there will be ian, would have been more of a rush i think if the bidding had started off with lesser amounts, but with some starting at 50 and 60 pounds i cant see the rush being that big to be honest........hope we can get some more bids tho as we all know its for a good cause and will help the club continue with its racing.

true steve, by what ive heard it was nearer 250 members so i dont think we need worry too much do you....? altho whilst we are on the subject, surely this other site has had similar numbers online at one time before and havnt seemed to have these problems..........bear in mind the site concerned has over 8,500 members approx.

I think at the moment they are good value for money, as a lot of the lots are for a pair of youngsters, it must cost nearly a tenner to rear a youngster!

lets hope there is a rush on Saturday for Ken's sake

hope very much theres a mad rush on for the auction, i know ken will be over the moon with the responce he has had so lets hope it goes up even more..........i think if i could get ybs for £10 each every year i wouldnt bother breeding them, id just buy them in........surely it costs more than a tenner to rear a yb properly.

no worries auction will run smooth

get bidding anyway steve, youve 10,000 to spend havnt you................

yes david dont panic yet

im sure ken will be happy with the auction so far anyway, so any more bidding will be even better for him and his clubmates........

David, it was tongue in cheek when I said a tenner, but if you think about it a bag of corn costs about a tenner, and I haven't used 30 bags of corn rearing my babies

how much do you think it costs?

fred, when you talk about costs of breeding ybs it all depends on what you consider to be involved, some might include the initial outlay of parents, some might include treatments before and after breeding........then there is corn, if you use such products as hormoform, minerals grit or vitamins etc, like i say.......if i could buy ybs every year for £10 each then i would, i dont just mean any old rubbish either i mean decent birds.

what price would you put on breeding a yb fred.......?

There are some great youngsters put up for auction for this very worthy cause, they will make what they make, good luck to all the purchasers.

yes, i agree fred........i have only bid on one pair at the moment but if im lucky enough to win them ill be highly delighted for myself and also delighted if it has helped ken raise money for his club..

yes i think everything will run smooth, as everything is covered come saturday
