Not NBS when it is several months away from blooming. Guess it depends on the definition of "near"

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

I can't believe the bull%^&# sellers on ebay get away with when it comes to their auctions of orchids.. 
I mean misrepresentation of an item can mean a buyer can return the item and request/receive a refund [through some Ebay process I can't think of now].

I agree....and then I don't end up refunding because of my losses from shipping and handling.
My advice for auctions is to get a picture of the plant before you bid.
