THE AUCTION HAS ENDED - Thanks, everyone, for helping out our pal Scot!!!
With Jarred's consent, I'm posting this notice to the group to let everyone know that Scot is liquidating his entire banana collection in preparation for his move to China. Scot hopes to recoup enough funds so that he may fund his airfare and some other expenses related to the move to China where he will be involved in the noble profession of teaching children (teaching English, in this case). Scot hopes to get this taken care of promptly so that he may depart for China around July 22nd. Thus, time is of essence! Please help out to the best of your ability.
A few of us have already agreed to buy some of Scot's plants and get him started and I'm listing the rest of Scot's inventory with his approval.
All purchases must be made by July 15th by 5pm Pacific.
Scot has listed his minimum selling price and this will be run sort of as an auction. If you wish to buy a particular plant outright (i.e., as if on eBay), Scot has agreed to sell it for double the listed minimum price. Edit: Once a plant has already had a bid, the Buy-It-Now price goes away and it goes to straight bidding.
Actual shipping charges will also be charged and all payments must be paid by PayPal. With such a short timeframe, Scot does not have time to wait for checks and money orders, etc.
Please e-mail Scot directly with your bids, questions, etc. at skashoon5472 (at) yahoo (dot) com (replacing where obvious with @ and .). Please be specific about what plant you are bidding on and your bid amount.
Listed below are the number of plants available, variety name, pups included with the plant, and the minimum price.
Bids are also listed below, though I might have made a mistake which can easily be corrected if you just bid more!
I discussed this with Scot and agreed to post the bidders name so they can tell if they are the top bidder or not. If you don't want your name listed, let Scot know (and PM me if Scot doesn't get the message to me or I overlook it)
