space cadet swami Posted January 30, 2013 Up for auction: 1 only Tabernaemontana undulata (Bechette) Plant stands 40cm high, is in a 5"pot & largest leaf is 21cm long. The seed was purchased from Kiwiboancaya & looked exactly the same as an Iboga seed once the outer shell has been removed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabernaemontana_undulata 1. The starting bid will be $25 & this will cover express postage Australia wide. 2. Please post in this thread your bid 3. I will send to all states. Keeping in mind that the risk is yours. I only have the 1 available & can't replace if seized (so be sure, before you bid). 4. Auction will close on Sunday, 10th February, 6pm (AEST)....so 7pm south of the border. 5. Highest bid at auction finish time, wins the auction. 6. Payment to be made within 48hrs (unless otherwise organised), or plant will be offered to next highest bidder. Happy bidding.... 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

endorfinder Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) I'm not experienced with these auctions.. is it not a long time frame to leave the bidding open? Edit: k. I guess bidding will slow down pretty quickly at this rate...! Edited January 30, 2013 by endorfinder 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
space cadet swami Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) I wanted to finish it on a Sunday. But I also wanted to make sure that as many members as possible had the opportunity to know it was up for auction. My thoughts were 1 week, but I've been sick & haven't been able to do anything till today. So, I would have put it up this Sunday just passed & finished it next Sunday...but 4 days is too short & yet 10 seems too long . Because of this plants rarity & speed that it is now growing at, this is my predicament.. So, 10 days it is ...

bogfrog Posted January 30, 2013 True, true. Yet it is a worthy tactic, giving everyone a long time to contemplate how much they want this plant, how it would complement or even complete their collection, where they could put it and then after looking at it for two weeks, eventually realise that they NEED this plant 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bogfrog Posted January 30, 2013 Woops 10 days sorry not two weeks. Nice plant - happy bidding folks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planthelper Posted February 4, 2013 the express sachet will cost you 22.25aud, so if you subtract that, from 50.00, it's still very cheap. postage might be cheaper, if one buy's express sachets in bulk, via the internet, but unless you live in a bigger place, i would always buy, the sachets from your local post office. buy local, keep the economy strong, support the small players, and not the big players, sidetrack over. roger that, inition sequence started.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
