PD. Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) Looks to be the same type of tricho crest that was sold on ebay last year. Myself and 2 others were lucky enought to snag one. 4 days left on these ones. crest 1 Crest 2 With a bit of luck someone here can score these things and do so a lil more cheaply than we did lol, then graft graft graft Im guessing the original stock came from hamiltons as thats where the last ones on ebay were sold from and they look like the lil peru seedlings they sell, they (hamiltons) werent at all helpful with my questions last time though!

Moses Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) thank you just checked them out and it seems they both have 6 bids so far and from the same people in both so i got a fight on my hands Edited January 4, 2011 by Moses Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PD. Posted January 4, 2011 Good luck moses. Im strapped for cash atm so i wouldnt be able to bid as high as i assume these lil numbers will be fought out to. Anything over 150bux wouldnt be unthinkable imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

abelardo Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) Managed to pick this one up as a second chance offer for $250 which I'm pretty happy with. Got beaten on the less desirable one at $277 (50 over my declared limit). Top quality plant. Edited January 21, 2011 by abelardo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tripsis Posted January 26, 2011 I won the larger one. Far more than I had planned to pay, but I had a snipe set and failed to change it in time. Ah well, beautiful plant to have. Hamilton's is dodgy as though; it came with mealy bugs on it, which is disgraceful for a commercial operation to be selling plants at that sort of price to people who obviously collect plants which are susceptible to the same pests. I can only hope that the white oil I sprayed it with does the job while I'm in NZ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PD. Posted January 26, 2011 it came with mealy bugs on it Are you for serial??? That is a friggn disgrace especially when it is such a sought after plant that ppl pay LOTS of money for. They arent too much of a pain in the arse to get rid of but man, that is slack as! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tripsis Posted February 2, 2011 No joking, there were mealy bugs on it. Not the first time I've had that with plants from Hamilton's either. They just don't give a fuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
