He never posted again since

I found the same offer in an other forum, this time with some contact information.
http://www.tradekey.com/product_view/id/171174.htm

I writte a message to him in both forums. Let see what happens.
As you said, Gabe it seems a Natureproduct distributor but is offering some of the plants that are not still available like Musa rubinea 'orange' and Musa 'vino-tinto' (this means 'red vine' in Spanish, funny name for a chinese musa )

BTW Gabe, How are you doing in Hawai. This is the real tropical and from the pictures I saw a paradise for a banana lover like you. Are you sampling any banana seeds you find (keep a few for me )

Gabe15

Hawaii is very nice. I haven't been able to collect any seed yet but I hope to be able to soon when I have some spare time. There are a lot of really interesting banana plants here, the only problem is it is difficult to obtain and transport them anywhere because of regulations and quarantine.

Beware of anybody that sells seeds on that site! There are numerous fake suppliers on there, especially if you find one from Cameroon, Africa. I got suspicious about this one guy, and kept him going for awhile about some Ensete gilletii seeds. I asked him to supply pictures of his plant(s), so I could better trust him. He emailed me the picture of the fruit bunch of Ensete gilletii that is on The Musaceae website, minus the bottom part that says "copyright..."!! After that, I never responded to any more of his emails. This is probably a different supplier, but beware just the same. If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is! I too tried emailing this person a while back, and never got a response. He/she probably found a different scam that makes more money.

Thank you for the information, I have no had any answer until know and the messsage was old (from January) so probably as you said just a fake supplier

Gabe,

I am sure you will build up a "new banan's collection", I can not imagine you with nou banana plant in your home ¡¡¡¡
