I brought this up before in another selling thread. This is the whole reason why I feel if someone wants to sell to us here in Bnut we should know what type of person they are by viewing their posts and making a minimum post count before being able to use the selling section.
This person's story just didn't add up from the beginning and then the ebay posting was the cherry on the top.
Was that the thread with the couple in the UK trying to make a quick +/-300 pounds on a 15 pound juniper they repotted and styled in one go?
Not that I'm against people asking outrageous prices for art, I'm fine with that if the buyer is too. But it feels like they're pushing the boundaries of what's acceptable by leaving out a bunch of important information as well as introducing "mysterious" artists that have zero trackrecord.
I myself felt hesitant to even ask for the shipping money when I donated my JBP to leatherback, so I threw in a ponderosa seedling.
A solid community stands or falls with trust and honesty, or the lack thereof.
