Just tell me why???

Post by mooie »

I really was quite dismayed :o to see a seller on eBay offering Lunacy and Walden (sp) to sell. :cry: :evil: Now this person is obviously a collector by the sheer volume of plants he offers each week. I would think that he would have enough common sense not to offer these obviously infected plants to the unknowing public..
I've emailed him about it, but the bottom line is, it's all up to him.

Yes he pulled the auctions as he had more 'wondering why' comments than me. Glad he had the sense.

I often wonder if these people find a virused hosta, try to identify it, find a name and picture that fits and then just call it that. Like someone last year (or the year before) selling a named virused plant where that particular hosta's owner never divided it or gave it away or sold it.

Glad to hear that the auction was removed :D

Actually I'm quite sure the seller knew exactly what he was selling in this case. I'm not really going to give him any more of my time, especially since recieving a very rude and hostile email from him late last night. I can't help people who think money is more important than good sense.
