Mark,
Thanks again very much. She actually e-mailed me this morning, also, that she was going to re-list this weekend only. So, it's only a 3-day listing. Anyway, I put in my bid already. First thing I did after waking up (11:30AM LOL).

OK, Steelviper and Nucci,
Well, she closed it right up again, after I paid for the items.

Nucci,
Sure would be nice if you can post a photo of your "winnings". Now I'm really curious what to expect. Thanks.

:camelnaner: I'm sorry folks, but I am very low tech up here in Massachusetts. I don't even own a digital camera. Maybe Anna can post pictures when her nanas arrive. I am still waiting for two more to arrive.

Nucci, did you ever get your second order for 2 corms from grannypossmsplace, or even a note stating where things are?

Anyone else who ordered from grannypossmsplace around the 8th of December, did you get your order filled yet?

Just wondering, because I ordered from them and the last I heard from them in mid-December was that they had just been hit by a storm and their grounds were wet. So they told me that they would not dig up corms when the ground was wet because of concern for mold developing on the corms.

:bunchonanas: :bunchonanas: yeh, finally chong. she emailed acouple of days ago and said they are ready to go, and would be mailed out after the holidays(fourth of july?). she is very laid back and in no hurray, but I think they should be here in about a week. wow!

chong 12-26-2006 10:06 PM

Re: saw this on E Bay
 
Wow! Nucci,
Thank you for the news. I hope that mine would be on the wings of your order. I love the way you put it . . . . after the holidays (Fourth of July!) LMAO! I can appreciate it that she's laid back. Esp., now that there's a lot of activities for the Christmas and New Year's. I wouldn't mind if I get my orders after the New Year.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas! And here's my toast to everyone for an AWESOME, AWESOME NEW YEAR YEAR EVER! ! ! !

Silly Seller!
 
Speaking as a long-time eBay buyer, of course! It's not getting much in the way of nibbles 'cuz the seller expects someone to pay by money order only & then wait a minimum of 4 months for shipping? That's way out of the time frame that eBay would step in to help anyone that had a problem w/a non-performing seller. I'd have to know or have done mucho business w/any seller to trust a transaction like that one (& I STILL wouldn't bid - even if I knew 'em!). Their feedback isn't bad, but there's absolutely NO protection for the person that wins this one. If (s)he wants to wait that long to ship, they should have waited later in the year to list it. I would pay in advance to a nursery (IF I had the cash, LOL!) to have a plant held in reserve, but not eBay. There's a reputable seller right that has acouple of the Ae'Ae listed right now that if I had the cash I WOULD buy from (they aren't even auctions - they're listed as 'But It Nows'). And no 4 month wait for shipping.

"Important: I will not ship this plant until the weather warms,(Mid April @ the earliest) NO EXCEPTIONS."

It's supposed to have been purchased "a couple years ago" ... but has only 3 leaves & doesn't look to be that mature, to my unexpert eye anyway. I want an Ae'Ae, badly ... but that's just a bit too risky for the prices they've been ending at on eBay lately. Better to wait & straight up buy it later from a nursery or another seller w/ a good rep.

But it sure would be nice in my yard!

Well, Nucci, did you finally get your much expected "construction debris" (LOL)? I, too, received, let me see, 5 messages since you posted your message before Christmas. The latest one was last week. Actually 2 in succession, that they were on the truck, and then, that they were on their way. The corms are coming from Texas, so if they got on the UPS truck last Thursday, they should be here by today. Okay, so it was a holiday last Monday, so let's give her until Friday to see if they actually arrive.

Just wondering if you, in fact, got your corms after Christmas. Or are we still waiting for the 4th of July??????

Chong
