Thanks for the Plug Tom. Eggbid is poorly monitored and managed by the owners. People use it because they do not pay the owners any commissions as they have no way to enforce collection of the fees.They have a ton of dead beat bidders and several people have been caught running up bids on their own auctions. I started Showbirdbid.com as an alternative for exhibition poultry breeders and it has been very slow. I have even waived all fees and commissions to get people to try it out. As far as adverising someones elses name in you acutions, I feel that is unethical. You can tell them where you got your start in an email but I fell it's wrong to namedrop to sell birds. Too often I see poor quality birds going for big money to unsuspecting newcomers and wish they would take the time to go to a show or directly to a breeder as they would be better off in the long run. I have got some nice birds off Eggbid and I have got some real crap too. It's a chance you take when you buy site unseen. If you in the market for good birds I always recommend attending the Ohio National in Columbus, OH the second weekend in Nov. I see thousands of nice birds sold there every years are fair prices. I know several CI members did real well there last year.
