Sooner or later enough people will find out he is a scamming scum bag and he won’t have any customers

He's got a 99.7% positive feedback rating, with 50 positive ratings from this month alone. If you just look at his feedback, he seems like a great seller. The thing it, it takes people so long to realize they've been scammed, that you can't go back and change that positive feedback rating to negative, so to just look at his stats on eBay, he seems like a great vendor, the kind you would want to buy from. The only people who know that he's a con artist are the people on this and other Orchid discussion boards, and very few people are going to see that feedback rating and then go do some research and see what we're saying about him here. I don't think there's any way he can be stopped. None of us will be buying from him, but there are plenty of people who are buying from him, and it's impossible to get word out to all of his prospective customers. I Just don't think there's any way to bring him down. Like I said, I referred eBay to that article about his illegal poaching of endangered orchids from the wild, but I don't actually expect that to accomplish anything.

All that being said, I do really like the NoID he sent me instead of C. percivaliana. I'd rather have C perci, but the plant I got from him wasn't a bad plant. It was in good health when it arrived, and it bloomed within a year of buying it. It has huge floofy, round magenta flowers with very nice form, which are huge (about 7 inches), especially compared to the size of the plant, which is maybe 9 inches tall from rhizome to leaf tip, and I think it's in bud again now. It's not something I would have picked out for myself, but once it bloomed, I thought, "That's not perci, but it's really not a bad plant." I don't want to sound like I'm defending him, because he's a crook and a con man, and I want nothing to do with him, but just for the sake of making the best out of a crappy situation, the plant he sent me really is quite nice.

Here's a few pictures from last year when it bloomed for the first time.

Have not bought from him in over a year, but we just bloomed a plant we bought a year ago, and it is clearly not what it should be. We ordered a rare clone of Rlc. Goldenzelle, and the plant bloomed with pink flowers.

A long time ago, I managed to block certain Ebay sellers, but I have forgotten how. I really would like to get rid of his listings, so if anyone knows how it is done today, please explain.

If you go under advanced search on the desktop site, you can type a seller name in the field indicated on the 'sellers' pane; after doing so, toggle from 'include' to 'exclude'; run the search and the seller is excluded.

Any pics of what the flowers should have looked like?

I think I wouldn't be buying from that seller based on the details being mentioned about that seller here (if I were in USA that is).

Here's a related OrchidBoard link too (click here).

It was supposed to be Rlc Goldenzelle 'Orange Pumpkin'. I do not have a photo, but it comes up if you google it.

Default Beware of buying from marblekg!

I recently came to the realization that I have been completely defrauded by Ebay orchid seller (marblekg) after spending hundreds of dollars over the years. I had always assumed if I was buying a plant whose nomenclature indicated that it was a meristem, that is what I was really getting. However, I recently asked him to confirm that the plant I had bought, C. gaskelliana 'Blue Dragon,' was a meristem. He responded that it was not. I told him that I was now wondering how many of the plants I had bought from him were actually self-crosses and not clones. His response: "Some are and probably some aren't." Please join me in trying to put a stop to this criminal activity.

Belated question.

Did you ever find your RLC George King 'Southern Cross'?

Those looking for Cattleya percivaliana 'Summit': I bought a medium sized, near blooming size plant from Alan Koch of Gold Country Orchids about a year ago. I didn't ask whether it was originally a meristem or division.
