I get the biggest kick out of Schlumbergera sellers on ebay. There is barely a plant over there that isn't listed as "rare" or "very hard to find." Right now there is a bid on Aspen for $49.00. I got mine earlier in the year from Logees for $11.95.

Sometimes, when a particular cultivar stops selling well, or they have a NOID, they just change the name/give it a name and put it out there as "rare." There is definitely a collector's market for Schlumbergera, but I think you have to do your research and be smart about buying.
