Lowman Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I saw the colony you guys got, very nice! My question is, since everyone has their competition frags now, are you selling any frags of the colony you have left? If so, I would like to get one. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R-3 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hmmm.....This doesnt seem right. I thought our fees we split evenly across the cost of an colony?? Isnt that how we keep the cost down? Are we as GOC members gonna get a kickback on the sale of frags??? This isnt adding up. Someone correct me if Im wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Re: Frags I wish I could chime in here but to be honest I have no idea how this is going or being handled now....I know from when I was doing it entry's covered colony, shipping, and so on.....so I would imagine there would be a kickback of remaining fee's....I did something different rather than a kickback which worked out very well, or should I say I didn't hear any complaints from the involved members...I think Frank is the one to ask this though.....shoot em a PM...I am only trying to share what my experience was Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 From what I heard from Frank the extra colony (which is huge, again thank you Jody)was going to be auctioned off or given as a prize down the line at one of the meetings. If the frags ended up being sold, I would suggest the proceeds go to TFT or to fund some other fundraiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpunk Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 We haven't decided just yet what to do with it but all funds that come off of it will be put back into the game via prizes, or keeping costs down for future contests... We are holding off on anything just yet though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think this GOC should be paying for keeping the costs down for future contests. I understand the concept but there isnt always the same people in the Grow Out everytime. That means you would be paying more so someone else could get a better deal later on. Understand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything left from the colony should go for prizes or be refunded to the people in this GOC. Just my 2 cents. Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefboy Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 to be honest you all got what you paid for and then some as far as your fee's I pretty much donated the rest of the colony if you figured out how many frags are in it it would be well over 500+ but I got what I needed and knew the rest would be used to benefit the club if this is a issue giving extra for the club to use elseware I advise future buys to buy what they need only as I could have chopped colony in half and still would have been plenty lol.Also I have large frags avaible if folks want any lol.

Lowman Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 I would sell frags and donate the proceeds to the TFT program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I personally agree with both Bob and Bryan, but only partly.... Sell the remaining frags at fair market value, then split the proceeds, half going to purchase prizes and half going to TFT. Just my .02 worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Re: Frags Just my opinion but give aways for all past and present GOC contestants is always a good way to go as it allows you to always be able to win something more from your entry fee's....even if it is 6 or 9 months down the line....I also agree that selling to throw into future or current GOC is good. Plus it eliminates any complaints about remaining funds....not to mention it is mentioned in the rules and guidelines that all funds brought into the GOC would remain in the GOC....kinda like the mission statement.

R-3 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I talked this over with Eric a couple days ago and now I understand a little more. We both talked about making it a standard $15 or $20 for the GOC everytime. That way this GOC thing can go on for a long time hopefully getting cooler GOC pieces everytime. Then whatever money is left over will be put in for prizes, incidentals, shipping, etc... It is nice to have a little kitty available just in case.
