When their time has come, I email them, and if they show up, they can get the pup for free.

To tell you frankly, in order to break even, considering how my time is worth, I would be charging more than $300 for each pup that I dig. So I never sell my banana pups on eBay nor anywhere else. So I always delight in even exchange.

At times, I have given away to some colleagues and friends in this forum, just a token of a price some other pups for $1 each, definitely not enough to pay for gas to the trip to the post office. Others I simply don't have the time to cash their checks that are refund for just the postage. Why I do it, sometimes, I just want to make people happy by hoping to share the passion. It is not money that will make you happy in this very short life here on earth.

No I am not a rich man. Just passionate about this hobby. I have grown CG and orinocos side by side, literally, and it doesn't take a specially talented detective to see that there are obvious glaring differences between the two, from the plant leaf patterns to fruits, their ripening and their tastes, assuming that you have the genuine articles of each cultivar. Well, if you happen to have two orinocos being compared with just the difference in label, you are 100% correct in your own wisdom. I have posted several times the major differences between CG and dwarf Orinoco all over other forums and would hate to spoon feed the same information again.

I have no intention of supporting Jeff and others in their claims about CG, but just stating my keen observations. I give them away for free, so absolutely, I have no intentions of enriching myself, just wanting to share for free what I found. And yes, I hate profit making companies and do love open source style of way of life, that is why I give away all my CG pups for free.

Regards,

Joe
