Snappin turtle soup? Good one! What ever happened to Holy Crapazoids? LOL

Ocean Springs, MS(Zone 8b)

Ok ZZsBabiez I am not sure I still get to have a mouse after this one. Toyel

Victoria, BC(Zone 8a)

Toyel has to sell the mouse to win this auction!

ZZ crapazoids is still there. There are MANY.

Watertown, NY

It is a great collection, I think i have all but one, but was still tempted, but the no room thing brought me back to reality.

Lodi, CA(Zone 9b)

Yes, it's a great collection.. even if there are only a couple you don't have, it's worth quite a bit!
I wish I had a collection worthy of putting on ebay just to recover some of the potting soil money!

South West, LA(Zone 9a)

So you think... Hay I'll put a few cuttings on Ebay for some extra plant money maybe some dirt and new pots and you take the plunge. Then you realize its not as easy as it looks people are sending questions about how big, how green, how thick, the circumference, why are you selling, where did you get your plants, etc...
I think I have opened quite a can of worms here and boy am I in over my head! I can't imagine doing this on a weekly basis! I have complete respect for those that do this all the time! To tell you all the truth I'm much happier just giving my cuttings away. Boy, I sure hope who ever gets this box is happy with it because there is nothing quite like falling on your face when everyone is looking.
Caren

So you all know
They are 5-7 inches long but no more than 8 inches (so they fit in the box)
They are on average 2 inches in circumference (thick was the wrong word to use in the listing)
They are all semi hardwood
I got most on Ebay but some were gifts, and last but not least Im selling for the reasons stated above

Jeffersonville, IN(Zone 6b)

LOL!! Oh, you poor thing!! I feel for you!! I'm sure you'll do just fine and not have to worry about falling on your face in front of people. I think after reading about this experience of yours, I'll just refrain from selling on e-bay. Yeah, trying to make up for all the money spent on potting soil and pots sounded like a good idea, I'm sure!

Victoria, BC(Zone 8a)

Awww Caren, don't get nervous! You're gonna do just fine. You certainly did spark a lot of interest, that's for sure! ;-)

Adrian, MI(Zone 5b)

What a wonderful assortment of Brugs!!
I would have bid my head off when I was a newby, I never saw such a nice group on e-bay before! Just have no more room inside!
Good luck Caren!!

Your listing is good and self explanitory, people will ask those questions no matter who's selling. You may be getting a few extra questions because you don't sell all the time. It is hard work selling plants all the time. Sometimes, most times, not worth the effort. But once in a while you hit pay dirt and it makes it worth the while, makes you want to relist LOL. There are quite a few who have listed lots of variety of cuttings I see, some have no bids, some have several bids. You 'll get higher bids since yours are all correctly labeled.

And those reading this post, will know that yours have all come from reliable sources.

Hang in there, it will be over soon, maybe you can buy a new special brug with your profits.
