$10,000 ORCHID ON EBAY!!!! - Page 7 - Orchid Board

I've purchased one orchid from them before. I actually saw their booth at the Tamiami Orchid show this February. I they sell good plants.

If, as you all think, the op is the seller itself, then I'm very disappointed. I really am. I generally give people the benefit of the doubt, but this whole posting here about your own auction, then cancelling the auction and starting a new one seems kind of, well, unprofessional.

I've spent as much as 100 dollars on many different plants, and I would spend more if it was rare, unusual, one of a kind, etc., but the listing doesn't even specify whether it's virus free, certificate, etc.

Like I said, I'm very disappointed and I will definitely think twice now about purchasing from them. It's not like I don't have other options, since I live smack dab in the middle of S. Florida's orchid country.

Hey guys it's me. WOW! I didn't realize how much could be written in a couple of days! I have had the plant for a while and it finally bloomed and I was interested if anyone (knowing this orchids history) would like to have it. It is my orchid and I can price it as high as a want. I hope everyone does not hate me forever for this. I am very proud of this orchid and am sorry if I offended anyone. We grow great orchids and I hope everyone respects the fact that this is my favorite orchid I have ever had. Because of all the hype, I am now only selling a division of it. I did not mean to start an uproar.

All have a great day

I'd rather take an extended trip down to Mauro's place!

Mauro is our friend Rosim_in_BR

Take a look at his gallery and posts and you'll see why I would rather visit him in Brazil than spend that kind of $$$ on one orchid

Until today, I hadn't noticed your post saying that it was your own plant being "discussed"...now that I know that, I've gone back and looked through your previous posts and they just border on being SPAM...

...and we don't like SPAM here so:

I'm closing this thread now, enough time has been wasted on it
