📃 How to Bid
Each rose shows the current bid. After you created an account, you will fill in the maximum amount that you are willing to bid for each variety that you are interested in. The computer will keep you $1 ahead of any other bids until your maximum is reached.
As an example, if you are willing to bid up to $40 for a variety and someone else's maximum bid is $15, you would get the rose for $16, assuming there are no other bids. If you really want the rose and you get outbid, you can submit a new max bid, but better to put in your maximum to begin with.
💰 Payment
When bidding is completed and tabulated, each winning bidder will receive an email stating which roses they have won and the cost plus shipping.
Payment can be made by check or credit card. Further details will be provided in the email.
