Hey Matt, I can see "Not available" just fine.

From "Indiana" Bev.

If I were going to ask you for seed, I would not ask for purple chive, coreopsis, linum, or white phlox ;)

Yep, Not Available,in red, shows up just fine.

hey matt i may be begging for some creeping thyme starts...this will be the second time i have attempted to start from seed, first time i direct sowed and this time i winter sowed...hope to get a bunch, i made a path with large creek rock stepping stones and i want the thyme to fill in around the stones. so we shall see : )

Matt, I used to get that all the time when I first started seed trading, almost 8 years ago.

I quickly learned that the only way to prevent it, is to do one simple thing.

Just remove the seeds from your list that you no longer have.

It's much easier to do that than to keep responding to those that ask for seeds that you have marked as "not available", even when you have it printed in read.

It's also easier for a member to search your trade page and see only what you have to trade and not have to go through a list with "out" or "not available" on it.

If it's any comfort to you though, I have had members pull up old threads of mine that where offering seeds and even when the last post on the thread reads

"this offer is closed" in 1 inch, bold type, capital letters and in red, still post to the thread and send me an e-mail for seeds.

It is going to happen, no matter what you do, but you lessen the problem by just removing the seeds from the list.

Thanks everyone for checking!

Attention "ymaddox":

I would be glad to send you some thyme starts. I will take a look at your list to see if we might set up a trade.
Not much time to check it out now, but I will soon and shoot you and e-mail.

Thanks,
Matthew
