KanJe Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) Sorry so whats the total... $29.50 or $39.50...?...sorry I'm a bit slow...oh and not to be picky or anything but tip cuts yeah... I don't think there will enough cuttings with tips for everyone. I wouldn't have thought it would matter much anyway. so how do you guys want to organise the cash. if you wanna pay 29.50 each then i will split the cactus into 10 equal parts, if you just wanna pay the tenner then we will adjust accordingly. what do you guys reckon I'm easy really, I'm happy to pay 30 + postage.

AndyAmine. Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) sweet I guess there is at least 60ft+ there (prolly more?) that makes it around $5 a ft before shipping, not to bad I say. Would have been best to use phantom bidder or something though, in the end I think these bots' make online auctions more even and cuts out implusive buying because everyone pays what they think is fair.

AndyAmine. Posted May 12, 2009 Phantom bidder is a auction sniping program/bot. so you tell it the max your willing to pay and the time you want it to start bidding before the auction ends (15sec- is usually best) and it will keep out bidding the top bidder until you either win or it goes out of your price range., So, the more people that use it the less problems you have with early bids which can raise the $$ to an over priced amount due to impulsive bidding and the less likely you are to have problems with your bid not getting through because of connection issues. I only got off the plane from Melb a couple of hours ago so Ill PM you tomorrow with my details etc., Really disapointed I didnt get to see you while I was there, I had a REALLY crazy last 5 or 6 days with lots of unexpected events happening at every turn so I didnt really get to see anyone the last week I was there all in all, it was a pretty crappy holiday. Ill be back around Feb though. so we will def have to catch up then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Termite Posted May 12, 2009 Nice score!!! Congrats to all involved! That stump should be one hell of a pup machine once established back into the ground! If you could throw some pics up of it in the future VS, I'd love to have a squizz. In regards to a plant of that size/age, how big would u expect the root system to be?
