    NEW UPDATE: All cuttings are now sold :)

     

    Hi All!

     

    I've got 8 beautiful Trichocereus Bridgesii "Jeans" cutting for sale! This variety grows prolifically, with many branches, a beautiful blueish color and nice long golden spines that become more brown as they mature. This variety has recently been discussed in the following thread:

     

    http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?/topic/31240-t-bridgesii-jeans/&

     

    Most cuttings for sale are about 38cm, with the smallest being 36cm and the longest being 40cm. To make things easier, I'm charging a flat price of $30 for each cutting, plus postage. This works out at around 80c per cm, give or take a little bit depending on which one you get. Here's some pics of the cuttings. If you want one in particular, let me know which one. They are numbered left to right from 1 to 8 in the photo below. Note that #2 fell on the ground and got damaged, so I replaced it with a really nice new (undamaged) piece that's 40cm long (not pictured though).

    If you'd like to buy one (or more), please PM me and indicate which number you want using the above image, and also provide me with your post code so I can work out postage for you. I'll update the list as they are sold. Payment is via PayPal only. No shipping overseas I'm afraid.

     

    Here's another close up so you can see some of the tips:

    Hi All,

     

    I only just saw this thread, great to see that the name has stuck with this one! And yes, it really is a very beautiful variety! I initially collected it from an elderly lady up in a hilly region of Australia from a very old plant. It looked quite unique to me, hence why I gave it it's own name :) I've never seen it flower unfortunately, but I'm hoping I'll have some of my older plants flower in the next year or two.

     

    I'm actually going to be taking some cuttings and putting them up for sale on here in the next week or two. If anyone wants to get in early and express interest, feel free to do so - that way I can reserve a piece for you. Selling these at 0.80 per cm, minimum length of 30cm per cutting.

     

    Cheers,

    Jeans

    Hmm, that's an interesting theory.

     

    The $100 bonus doesn't require you to keep any money in the account - in their own advertising of the deal, they request that people get their pay put into the account, and that if this is at least $1000 in the first month, you get the bonus. We can of course get around that by simply shifting $1000 into the account, taking it straight back out again, then closing the account if we want to once the bonus comes in. But, assuming that some people do get their pay put into the account and start using it as their regular account, that will give the bank more capital.

    In this case, there actually *is* a free lunch. As long as you meet the eligibility criteria and follow the instructions as outlined above, you'll get $100 cash for nothing but a bit of your time. There are no fees, including no opening or closing fees. I'm not sure what happened with your mates in the past Zedo, but either they must have done something wrong in the sign-up process, or INGs policies were different to what they are now. I've had about a dozen personal friends do this and every one of them received the bonus. Most of them simply withdrew their $100 (plus the $1001 they initially transferred in) and then closed the account. Nobody paid any fees at any point. Feel free to call ING Direct if you want to confirm this (again, just say a friend told you about it) :)

    Yep, minimum is $1001, although it's worth pointing out this doesn't necessarily have to all be in one lump sum. They suggest you can get your pay put into the account, and as long as it's 1001 within one calendar month you're all good (and you don't have to leave it in - you can start withdrawing / using the money straight away). 

     

    I also find paperwork to be a pain in the ass, but fortunately with this one it's pretty quick and simple :)

    Hey everyone!

     

    This isn't actually a plant sale, but I posted it here because I figured quite a lot of people would be interested in this and could benefit. Apologies if this isn't the best place for this. Here's a way that you can make $100 for 20 minutes of your time without even leaving home, which you can then put toward buying cactuses (of course :P )

     

    My bank (ING Direct) is giving $100 bonuses to both myself and to every new customer I refer to them (You!) who opens an Orange Everyday account. It only takes 10-20 minutes online, and there are no account opening or closing fees. This is basically free, no-strings money from a bank looking for more customers. There’s no obligation to use or even keep the account after you get the bonus, although it is actually a very good account – no fees at all, free withdrawals from *any* ATM in Aus, etc.

     

    If you are interested, you can find out more and sign up for an Orange Everyday account here (or if you’re suspicious of clicking the link, just Google “ING Orange Everyday account”):

     

    https://www.ingdirect.com.au/everyday-banking.html

     

    To get the bonus, open up an ING Orange Everyday account, say you were referred by a friend when prompted, and enter the following promotional code:

     

    EOW211

     

    The promotional code is important – without it, neither of us get the bonus! The other thing you have to do is deposit $1001 into your new account within a calendar month. It doesn’t matter where this comes from, as long as it’s not another ING account. I just used savings from another account, and transferred the money (plus the bonus) back once I got the bonus.

     

    Many people I know have done this and got their bonuses (it takes about a month to receive it). However, some people who hadn’t lived in their house for a minimum of 3 years or who didn’t have a driver’s license or passport had to provide physical ID at a post office to complete the sign up. They still got their bonuses, just a bit more effort required. Note that the bonus only applies for new customers who haven’t been with ING before.

     

    It’s not every day that you get a chance to make $100 from home by simply filling in a form and opening an account, and I know a lot of people could do with the extra cash (including myself, which is why I’m doing this!). So please pass this on to anyone else you can think of that might benefit! The offer is valid until the 31st of July, but is limited to the first 10,000 participants so it’s worth getting onto it.

     

    Feel free to message me if you have any questions and I’d be happy to help. Of course, there's a lot of scams going around, so feel free to call them up and confirm that they really doing bonuses if you're referred by a friend. Just tell them that a friend told you about it on Facebook :) Finally, here's my member trading reputation thread in case you just want to check that out too:

    I've actually sold the scop now, I'll update the post now. The macro cutting is on eBay, so as long as it's listed there, I can't sell it outside of eBay or cut it up. You're welcome to check out the listing - I just reduced the price of it, so the starting bid is well below what I'd normally sell it for

     

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/182489969434?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

     

    If you want, I could cut you separate smaller bits of macro and scop, but I wouldn't be willing to go any smaller than 30cm each (at 0.80 per cm), otherwise it's just not worth it - not the easiest things to package up!

     

    Let me know if you're interested :)

    OK, due to lack of interest here, I've put the scop, the macro, and one of the big bridgesii cuts on eBay. You can bid for them there if you're interested. Here are the ebay links:

     

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/182464638729?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

    You can still buy the other bridgesii cuts directly through here if you're interested :)

    Yeah I'm finding it hard to gauge what it's worth - there was a much smaller grafted loph that sold for $350 a little while ago I think so I figured $500 was probably about right. Since there haven't been any bids yet I've lowered it to $400 in the hope that it might get a bit more interest. I won't be changing it again though and I actually don't really mind if it doesn't sell :)
