As I retired auditor, I need verification of your numbers, Chris. Steve (who is not in France) got #1 and #2 and I thought yours was #3. Where was another between yours and the two Steve bought???? I'm just trying to keep a record of these and inquiring minds need to know!

Steve From France (not really from France right now) is the one that outbid you. I bought mine from Jeff last year in person. Another forum member later gave me one! I then later bought from from Taylor to give to another friend in the hometown of the friend who gave me one. Got it???!!! LOL

Benny, your sentence seems incomplete.

Market seems to be "crashing"! LOL. Jeff's 4th pup just sold for $89 to "prakanong". Anyone from here?

Oh no the market is Crashing , I gotta get out of CG now
I know I payed top dollar for the CG but what I was buying as much as a Musa was Time. Getting stuff early season makes a big difference here in Maryland. Last year later CG pups went for as low as 39 if I remember right but that was mid season. My CG seem to be doing fine ,both have a new leaf and should now just go crazy, well as crazy as a slower growing Musa can go

I agree with you, Steve, except for two things. You did not pay "top dollar". Someone paid $150.07 last year and someone else paid $150.00 under a "second chance offer". And that was not even early in the season!!! And the low price last year was $44.00.

You really should post some photos!
