One thing I've suggested before about bidding is that I think smart money waits until final seconds before submitting ANY bid. I haven't always adhered to that theory, but that's my current modus operandi. No sense provoking interest among other potential bidders. If I put my max bid out there in the final 5 seconds only a pre-existing higher max bid or the pros using automatic bidding software can beat me. Sometimes I'll put a feeler bid in in the final 20 seconds, just to get a sense of other max bids.
That said, I can accept that a good single-growth Manjushage with 3 spurs proven may be worth around a C-note. Do you guys think that this specific specimen justifies that price or up to about 120, plus shipping? Nice clean leaves without a lot of blemishes are always a big plus for me and this looks pretty good in that regard. And it has a well-developed baby growth that is well on its way to making this a 2-growth plant.
I arrive at work at about 10:20pm, so I'll have about 20 mins to get strapped in and logged in to snag this, *IF* I decide to go for it. Of course adding to my cost would be the $20 express mail option, which I prefer during extreme heat waves. Hopefully they'd get it to the post office in time Friday for Saturday delivery, rather than have it in the clutches of USPS through the weekend.
So what say you all?
Edited to add: Ginger, I was just looking at the pic on Seed Engei of the sold out Manjushage, which is presumably the one you are getting. Very nice plant I think. I notice the profile of the leaves on these has a sort of wave shape bend. what's the term for that leaf form?

I also see coffeecup has one that bloomed with 4 spurs last September. Looking forward to an update on that one.
