HAVE: Musa 'California Gold'

Taylor · 09-09-2007, 12:24 PM

Hello everyone,
I hope you are enjoying your weekend. I have a large California Gold pup for sale . Description; 1 foot tall, has true leaves, large corm.

35 + shipping
PM me if you can't do that and we can bargain.

Taylor

Taylor · 09-09-2007, 01:34 PM

GONE! Thank You everyone.

MediaHound · 09-09-2007, 07:07 PM

Wow that was fast! Nice sale Taylor!

endeitz · 09-09-2007, 07:23 PM

Does anyone else want to sell a CG pup? That was one heck of a price, I would pay $50 shipped.

Ed.

Taylor · 09-09-2007, 08:32 PM

Yeah thanks! Next time I might use eBay though because I need the cash for a car. But I don't want it to get into the wrong hands either. I have 2 more pups coming out and one I might be able to divide but that would be saved for Pete. The other one... I don't know what it'll do. I divided one other pup and planted it in my garden and it has taken off too. That one is much larger and I might sell that one. I don't truly know at this time.....
I am glad I set it at 35 because it ended up a friend got it who has just sent me stuff, so I guess the 15$ less makes up for the stuff he sent me =P

I am no longer going to sell this pup on this site. I received an Infraction for Bad Business Practices, and if that is the case, than I can sell it somewhere else. I am sorry if this is a disappointment to anyone, but I don't think trying to spread this wonderful banana is worth any fuss at all. Steve, PM me.

This is what I got-

I know what you did Taylor and it is not acceptible.
You caused a chain reaction of events and it was unnecessary.
If you give you word about selling something to somebody, keep it.
One lesson you need to learn is good business practices.
I want you to learn good business practices now, so that these things do not come back to bite you in the rear later in life.
This is your warning and an infraction point.

This infraction is worth 1 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Serious infractions will never expire.

Taylor if you would like to bring private messages out in the open here we can go that route but I don't think you will like that based on what I have read.
Here is your finish line, I suggest you leave it alone:

Taylor · 09-11-2007, 02:23 PM

Yes I will leave it alone this time! (the finish line) I think it all got settled if I am not mistaken. I hope so at least. I made a mistake and took on too much at one time and I am willing to admit that. I think this discussion is over and I will have to live with the knowledge of what happened. I am sorry for any disruptions in the forum, and may we all continue and put this behind us. Although I am a little confused as to what happened, it is over with. Thanks everyone.

Taylor

MediaHound · 09-11-2007, 10:17 PM

You should cancel the ebay auction and sell the pup to Harvey for the $35, Taylor.
That's the right thing to do, don't you think? Being that he is the one that you said you would sell it to...
Do the right thing Taylor.

Taylor · 09-12-2007, 02:14 PM

I don't know how to cancel it. I paid 5 dollars for the auction... Just saying, I think that should be added if canceled. Tell me if that is fair..........

Taylor · 09-12-2007, 02:16 PM

And that also means teach me how to cancel it...

MediaHound · 09-12-2007, 02:17 PM

Read this page, it tells you how:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/ques...dlist-now.html

And no, it's not fair what you did with the plant that you already had committed to selling here.

MediaHound · 09-12-2007, 02:18 PM

To end your listing early:

Type your item number into the End My Listing Early form. (You can get this number on your listing, on your confirmation email, or on your My eBay page.)
If there are bids on your item, choose between
Cancel bids and end listing early or Sell item to high bidder(s) and end listing early
(If your item has no bids, you can skip this step).
Choose the reason you're ending your listing early.
Your listing will end and will no longer be active on eBay. If there were bidders, they will be emailed that their bid was canceled and the listing ended early.

MediaHound · 09-12-2007, 02:19 PM

Since Harvey is the high bidder anyway, you should end it and sell it to him as the high bidder.

harveyc · 09-12-2007, 03:16 PM

Thanks, Taylor, I'm sorry this was such trouble. Payment has been sent. I hope our next transaction is easier.

Jarred, thank you for your devotion to this community!

I am donating this pup to a community garden and hope it brings joy to many.

Peace,

Harvey

momoese · 09-12-2007, 03:34 PM

That's really nice of you Harvey!

MediaHound · 09-12-2007, 03:47 PM

Taylor, you did the right thing, thank you.

And Harvey, that certainly is very nice of you, very commendable...

Carolina · 09-12-2007, 04:24 PM

Yay! I knew Taylor would do the right thing (although I don't know what happened exactly)

Taylor amazes me with the things he has learned here. What I think is so great is that he is able to learn maturity and integrity on a side that his parents aren't a part of. Teenagers are usually so gross... but Taylor's an alright guy!

Carolina · 09-12-2007, 04:25 PM

Oh... and thanks Harvey. Your generosity can be a lesson for some.

JoeReal · 09-12-2007, 06:05 PM

That's good for Harvey!

He must have been infected by me.

So far, I have given away for free about 23 California Gold bananas to date. Provided they come and dig them up, or convinced me to ship it to them for one reason or another and refunded just for the postage, and some were also used for exchange.

My only requirement is that only based on trust, they should also give away the first two to three pups for free.
