WANTED: my part of the trade from lookin4you2xist = tampabaygard

17 years ago

If you remember lookin4you2xist on gardenweb.com had stolen some cuttings and rose bushes from several people. Well, he has returned to GW with the new username tampabaygardener. His is still advertising his long non-existent list on GW for trades.

I know because I replied about Russelliana (he stole in March 2005), and he responded with this email address lookin4you2xist@gmail.com.

He also goes by Richard Boone or Andrew at agrover2@tampabay.rr.com, rboone1@tampabay.rr.com

He has used several email addresses in response my trade. He never replied as to why he never sent my part of the trade (this was back in March 2005), and he has done the same to others. I have emails from other GW members and a tracking number from USPS that showed my packaged reached him. He also has a history on the internet of offering everything and delivering nothing.

Please read for what it's worth. I have dealt with identity theft with so many people, and I am tired of people trust and confidence utterly destroyed.

I think you have a major wait MAJOR sort of brain disorder lady. Can your feeble brain say slander? Keep it up. I have a lawyer not that I think I need one over a rose bush. I have ALWAYS gotten back good responces from gardenweb members. I do not apreciate being called a thief. Is it possibly that you got your end of the deal and did not remember? Could it be that me having 3 email accounts messed you up? I probably make more money per year than you make in 3. tampabay.rr is road runner lady it costs money something you might have if you were not trying to spend your time posting accusations in forums about people. Last I knew it was 2007 not 2005 hunnie =)Do you have a problem with gay people or just people in general ? A gmail account lets you have a couple extra gigs of space. lookin4you2xist is my boyfriend we have been together over 10 years I doubt very highly he took anything from you, he is a good guy.We have multiple computers hence multiple email addressess oh wait let me spend an extra 50 dollars a month on another road runner buisness class account so I can STEAL a rose cutting from you. You are just a tad bit neurotic lady.I do not know his password for his email but to accuse my friend of stealing is wrong. "We know what you are: now we're just haggling over the price."

Its about time you responded. Several GW members and myself made a trade with lookin4you2xist in which we never received our side of the trade. I received an email from lookin4you2xist@gmail.com signed Rick where it was stated, "I have rarer roses than Russelliana." Back in Spring 2005 I also received an email from lookin4you2xist@yahoo.com inquiring about what my rose bushes.

Hmmm...so your now bringing up money and lifestyles and the claim not to be lookin4you2xist when the real issue is there is a claim of lots of rose bushes and no delivery of the promised goods.

Hi! I guess we're having some e-mail problems, & due to a storm, my system was down for a while. I have the book-it's a copy I purchased at a library book sale in excellent condition, but it just doesn't fit my garden space, so it's yours if you can use it. I don't know what the postage would be, but I think sending it book rate wouldn't be too much. If you'd like me to check postage, just let me know & I'll let you know. I'll send it for postage, but if you had any seeds to share, that's ok too!

NEW: part 2 5th annual whats left on my want list swap sign-
Q

Hi, folks! My opinion on a typical pack of seeds would be 20-25, and fewer for large, rare or expensive seeds. Many times tomato, pepper, and eggplant seeds are more like 12-15 seeds. Counting out poppy or foxglove seeds is a pain, but a tiny pinch is about 40-50, so I do that. Some people measure out 1/8 teaspoons or 1/4 teaspoons of tiny seeds. I don't have a 1/8t spoon, and 1/4t is a large proportion of my seeds. If you're agonizing over whether or not to send in just a few of a seed, you can always ask the recipient, or you can use the gardenweb list search. Search for people who also have that seed, and read the list for people in this swap. If a couple of us have it, you don't need to worry about dividing up your small supply. You find the Search Lists function by clicking at the bottom of the page on Member Pages, and then choose Search Members' Exchange Lists. That is also a way to figure out who to send to, by searching for people looking for a seed you have. However, sometimes someone will type "No datura, please" but the computer just sees that "datura" is in the wants area. So this search can get you started, but you should still personally check. :) GARLIC: I'd love to try some different hardnecks! Cloves or even bulbils. Cloves are big--should we plan to send somewhat roomy envelopes and extra postage money to pay for getting the cloves to us? I grow two hardneck types and can offer bulbils, unfortunately I don't know the names. On seems to be a porcelain, one a rocambole. (One has a ton of tiny bulbils, one has larger bulbils, so please correct me if you think I'm wrong). You plant the bulbils at the same time as big garlic, and then dig it up the next year when it yellows the right amount. Then you replant it in fall, unless you want to eat the baby garlic. In my reading, it seems pretty definite that if you leave garlic in the ground without digging and replanting, it just splits into smaller bulbs and is less and less what you intended when you planted it. That happened to my mom. Dorisl, it's nice to see you here! I'll try to find good pink stuff to send your way. :)

Autumnshowers is a reliable trader here on gardenweb. I highly doubt she would make up such a thing.

And are you ridiuculous saying you will get a lawyer for slander? Don't you think that is a bit dramatic??

Send your side of the trade and you won't have a problem, I highly doubt someone would "forget" they got a trade from you.

And you making 3x more than her per year has what to do with what?? If you make so much money go out and buy all the roses you want instead of looking for trades.

I'm another victim he swindled. I sent rooted cuttings, and fresh cuttings of probably 50 other roses and never hear a thing back from him. Needless to say, I got nothing in return. It's the main reason I no longer trade roses.

Why not do a member review of the trades you had, at the Rate and Review Forum with both member names?

Posting both exact names in the Subject of Posting line will make it most easily found if someone does a search on them.

Using, and promoting the Review Forum, will be a great help to all of us.

Scammers have been discovered, and then potential victims have been alerted b4 making a bad trade.
