About auctions Part II

In the last weeks we did have some ppl at the auctions who made me think of a lot of things I take for normal ... at least so far I thought these things are normal to everybody ... but ... I may be wrong? But on the other side I think these things are locial and I feel that stupid by writing them down here now .. so maybe these ppl just want to have me on???

Whatever ... I write them down - you can decide if they are normal or if it is indeed like - UH WHAT? Never thought of THAT... So here we go:

♦ Traited or untraited breedables at auctions ...
Of course - the better a breedable is, the better it will sell. Means - more traits mean more money. But also of course you CAN try to sell untraited ones too. But then they should be a good breed - or have a good background.
But ... starter breedables at auctions? No traits on them ... and no background neither. Well okay - with a lot of breedables we know - starters can give you anything. But on the other hand - every auctionhouse has a minimum starting bid you HAVE to start with. When the starter breedables is sold for less all over the markets - what sense makes it to put it out at an auction with a higher starting bid than the "market price"?

♦ Mixed breeds on one panel ...
We have the mixed auctions - all breedable auctions. Sure - ANY kind of breedable is welcome at this auction. We love to show all the different breedables that are on the grid, we love to discover new ones too ... this is ONE reason why we do these auctions.
But ... different breedables on one panel? I mean ... do want to SELL my stuff - or just show what I do have? For example - a bear and a dog on one panel ... errr - sorry?
Same thing with:

♦ Siblings or pair of one gender on one panel ...
Selling more than one breedable at one panel is always difficult (even if ppl sometimes try to sell breedable "packs" of 4 or even more - in more than 2 years that I am doing breedables now I HARDLY saw these packs selling). That´s why we have the rule "only two breedables per panel". But ... with two different breeds on one panel, siblings of breedables with NO inbreed possible or two of the same gender ... mhhhhhh ... again - do I want to sell - or just show my stuff?

Well ... in my whole time I am going to and doing auctions as breeder and also as auctioneer I never did things like putting out starters when new breeds are on the grid - or different kind of breedables on one panel - or siblings.... cause this just never came to my mind so far.
Now since the last few all breedable auctions I am busy to keep ppl away from doing exactly THIS ... and this was why I was starting to think ... is normal for me unnormal for others? Or even - do I think in a wrong way?
Would love if you can tell me what YOU do think about this all ....
