Linda Bonnes on May 08, 2015I auction off my seeds, plants, and other unneeded but useful things on Listia. There is no cost to sell and you can offer free shipping, exact cost or flat cost shipping if you do not want to pay for shipping. You do not get actual $$$ for your auctions but credits which you use to bid on other auctions on a wide variety of items. I have gotten kindles, computer stuff, plants and seeds of course, and clothing etc. with my credits. It is fun and easy and allows recycling of things I would normally throw away for little or no cost...depending on the shipping method I choose and whether the auctions that I win charge a shipping fee. Check it out at listia.com. Wish I had some hostas...I'll bid on yours if you put them up!Helpful Reply

CK on May 08, 2015If you have a local online classified site you could advertise them there. This 'selling strategy' avoids "no shows" and having to be available at so many times/days. Example ad: "For Sale Locally Grown Hostas: 4" pots for only $3.50. Being sold on a first come, first serve basis on Saturday, May 9th from 2-4 PM. Just in time for Mother's Day giving." (You could also extend the hours and the days as your time allows.) A simply made yard sign is a boost too :) Price them about 1/2 the price of your stores sell them for and I'll bet people will be flocking to get them "on sale" :-) Dig up as many as you have time for now. When they grow bigger and you have more time, repeat the selling process only put the plants in bigger pots and sell for more because now they're larger :-) Wish I was closer. I'd take a few off your hands :-)Helpful Reply

Marion Nesbitt on May 09, 2015I'd take some, too! Potted hostas are really expensive up here. If you have the time, I'd pot some of them, round up some other things you want to edit, and have a yard sale.Helpful Reply
