Rules and Policies
For complete auction rules and guidelines, visit our Help Section. Key points include:
Bidding Guidelines:
- All bids represent binding purchase commitments
- Payment is required within a specified timeframe
- Shipping is calculated separately based on location
- All seeds sold for legal purposes only (100% legal hemp/cannabis seeds)
Our Guarantee: We understand that buying vintage genetics comes with inherent risks. Seeds are stored in controlled, cool environments, but germination rates naturally decline. Here’s our commitment to you:
- Reasonable Germination: If you experience poor germination and are unhappy with results, we’ll provide full credit for future auction purchases
- Community Understanding: We recognize that finding keepers in vintage genetics is part of the hunt. If you get six viable plants from a 10-pack with three solid keepers, that’s excellent results for rare genetics.
- Fair Resolution: However, if you get minimal germination (liketwo2 from 10) and lose both plants, we understand your disappointment and will make it right with auction credits
The goal isn’t just selling seeds – it’s building a community that helps preserve these genetics by finding and sharing the keeper phenotypes that make each strain special.
The Vault: 15+ Years of Cannabis History
The Collection Story
What started as a business practice became an incredible genetic library. Since 2010, I’ve maintained a simple rule: keep two packs of every drop that passed through SeedsHereNow.com: one pack for potential replacements and one for the vault. When customers never needed replacements due to excellent quality, those backup packs stayed in my collection.
The Numbers:
- Over 10,000 packs in climate-controlled storage
- 15+ years of cannabis genetics (2010-present)
- Every strain that passed through SeedsHereNow.com
- Gifts and trades from breeders and collectors worldwide
- Comprehensive documentation of sources and dates
