Oh wow. That's... quite a bit of money. if iI was going to spend that kind money on a jade, atleast spend it on a much rarer jade. Anyway, I'd rather buy a giant aloe tree or something. Crazy people these days...

Lol it would suck if the cutting froze! Yes I hope that cutting doesn't rot! If it does what a waste of $240 I could buy so much of Cacti.

I am the seller and it is a good strong cutting that is well rooted so it should be just fine. I am very surprised at what it went for as well. Cheers

Wow, incredible auction!
If you have the money, it's worth it to get exactly what you want, when you want it. Money spent on succulents is, in my opinion, spent better than money on beer or new shoes, et cetera. And, of course, this plant may yield future cuttings to offset the initial cost.

Josh

Bearing witness in real time with real people at certain live bidding wars for succulent plants I'm glad the plant came from you Glen.

I was watching that auction for two days. I could not believe how high the bidding was going. Oh , I so wanted that plant. Maybe next time.

Sharon

This should make you all happy....

"Just to let you know. I'm not paying for this. Two hundred forty dollars are you out of your f*****g mind? I think something unethical happened there. That plant going for that much money; absolutely no way. Do what you need to do. In one month I plan on closing my account. That is how long it takes to close an account after a bill or purchase has been made. I really don't care. Open a case in the resolution center or give me a negative. I don't give a f**k. My account will be closed or if I'm lucky the schmucks at ebay will close it for me.

Glen,

That Charles is a jerk is not your problem - sorry you have to sell it again. I'd normally say 'caveat emptor' with a seller on Ebay, but you're established, and if it went for that much, good for you. I'm in full agreement with Josh, although in my case it was close to $200 for three thumby Cyphostemmas. You want 'em, you get 'em, if you can.

Sorry about that, Glen.
Chuck that fellow...Charles, I mean ;-)

Jeff, three thumbs must be better than two, eh?

Josh

Such a pity that Chuck ( or who ever it was that has a disturbed bidding fetish) had to use such manners to prevent fair priced and reasonable distribution of a plant.
The over bidding should not be in any way a reflection to you or your kind and generous nature Glen..

By the way my bid: how about something with some Nori and hand made noodles ?

Wes,

If it was my plant you'd have it already. I'm a sucker for the nori.

Glen, what a jerk. I can't understand why this moron kept bidding if he didn't want to spend that much for it.

Well, at least you have the satisfaction of knowing that your plant will not go to this man.

WOW what a jerk! that buyer was! He was the one that bought it, or maybe he got hacked by a cactus lover, and decide to be a jerk and spend $240 on a jade.

LOL Jeff we'd have to work something out for the modest across the border exchange and import/ export surcharges for the Nori

Can't you put a cap on your bid on E-Bay, over which you will not spend? Chuckles forgot to be careful....

I have been bidding on eBay for years. Didn't know you could bid so high and not be aware that you were bidding so high. eBay sends emails to let you know when you are outbid or are the high bidder. He's scamming you Glen.
Maybe he didn't like how high it was going and didn't want anyone else to have it either. Jerk.....

Sharon

I was thinking about this last night. Sometimes someone will put a crazy number in for a high bid to make sure that they get the item. They go in thinking that no one would even come close to that bid and they would be the highest bidder. Pretty risky and damn stupid, but I've heard of it.

Glen, I don't think anyone here would be happy about this. We're on your side.

{{gwi:506727}}

Childish Charley may of had intentions for paying for the horn tree at reasonable bids but when he saw the price go even one dollar higher than his predetermined value amount. His intentions became a deliberate act as he also intentionally kept bidding to disrupt or prevent anyone else from getting it for a lesser amount Childish Charley of Not wanting to get burnt by an unusual amount

In the real world out side of E bay and internet bidding Childish Charley ( who is an actual adult ) would be very highly frowned upon for backing out in such a manner and would feel ( certain items found in collecting auctions) long term repercussions for his behavior.

Seems my noodles and Nori bid is still being considered which is an additional offer to the price I've had chance to acquire a horn tree cutting before.

Well, $240 for a plant is really not too much. If it is something you really wanted and can't find anywhere else. Look at it this way, one night out drinking and driving could cost you $3000 in cost and fines and not even considering what else might happen. How about texting and driving that causes you a minor fender bender, $500 deductable. I have friends who go out for the evening and spend up to $500 a night, see a play, dinner, drinks. So if you have the money and not affect any thing else in you life, why not. Buy the plant enjoy it and if possible, make coppies of it and share with friends.
Stush

LOL stush There is a big difference between drinking and driving legal fines and the lack of manning up for ones reckless e-bay bidding.

Hahahh... And whatever you do, don't bid irresponsibly on eBay while drunk driving... Super expensive!

OK, I have to ask, is this a Red Horn Jade? Pic please?????
One time I was bidding at the last min and put the decimal in the wrong place --OUCH I won, but......(and I did pay)
Mike

Definitely do NOT eBay while sexting.

Ha Ha, I get the measage. Don't drink and type.
