tipz Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) I have been watching Ebay (au) quite closely and am seeing some stupidly ridiculous prices. Two lots of TEN, yes ten LW seeds of unknown heritage and viability being sold for in excess of $30 ! http://www.ebay.com....984.m1438.l2649 and here : http://www.ebay.com....984.m1438.l2649 The prices we pay here in Australia are so extravagant in general, let-alone these ridiculous blowouts i keep seeing on the Australian EBAY I have been watching Ebay.de ( which i believe is the European ebay ? )quite a bit.... and the plants going there are amazing. Here are a few from recent that have ended ( just scroll down for final prices ) http://www.ebay.com....984.m1438.l2649 http://www.ebay.com....984.m1438.l2649 http://www.ebay.com....984.m1438.l2649 ( < a crested loph for under a hundred ) http://www.ebay.com....984.m1438.l2649 and this 12yr old seed grown LW for under $50 http://www.ebay.com....984.m1438.l2649 . ( EG I have to say I am very jealous ) Why are our cacti so expensive EDIT : ( does anyone know how to navigate through the japanese section of cacti on their domestic ebay ? ) (double edit) For some real amazing plants for some crazy prices ya have to check out catalogue 18 at uncle chorn's cabin ( there are 8 pages to flick through at the top ) I so want to become a cactus smuggling fiend Edited June 29, 2012 by tipz 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goldtop Posted June 29, 2012 Theres 2 good looking lophs up on ebay au, they started at 20 bucks. Of course theres been a couple of bids already, but im hoping to put a bid on the multi head one if prices stay reasonable lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
at0m Posted June 29, 2012 There's also ebay.co.uk. Also, install Chrome, use Google translate or get an on the fly translate plugin for your browser and you can view the Japanese eBay. I'll be wondering around the local farmers market this weekend. I saw some misc. little ornamental cacti last time but was too out of it to buy anything. I'll post pictures if I find anything fun.

GoOnThen Posted September 30, 2012 I didn't post this until the auction finished in case someone here was trying to buy it. I would think the price is just a bit excessive http://www.ebay.com....984.m1423.l2649 Cheers Got Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foo Posted September 30, 2012 wow, someone paid $150 for a plant without seeing a picture of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOnThen Posted September 30, 2012 The plant is the one that was sold the seller will often post a pic of what the plant will look like ( another plant ) and then he always posts a pic of the plant that is on offer. Cheers Got Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
