I promised some people I'd let them know when I was putting these figs up for auction.  

Hover mouse for name of figs.

Wow!  That is a tote load of figs!  Good luck with your auctions!

Just wondering if by auction, you mean eBay, or some other venue?

thanks!

Wow, I've just been hit with a possible ebay violation: This is BS, in my opinion. Offering a choice is verboten? I may need to end the listing early or amend it somehow.

This listing may violate the guidelines in our policy. We haven't removed it, but wanted to provide you with the information below so that you can thoroughly review your listings and make sure they follow our guidelines. If you determine there isn't a violation, no further action is required at this time. However, if there are concerns, please take the time to revise your listing so that it complies with our policy. Violations could result in listing removal and limits to your selling privileges:

Here is a portion of your description: the winner will also get cuttings from ONE of the following cultivars of your choice (Celeste, Alma , Green Ischia, Petit Negri, Atreano, LSU Purple, Scotts Black, Brunswick or LSU Gold ).

Please be advised that you may offer a choice of sizes, colors and configurations of a particular item within a listing. However, the listing can't offer buyers a choice of completely different items. This include choice of items with different brand names.

Just take the names out of your listing and tell bidders to contact you to find out what cuttings are available as a bonus.

Ebay does not allow revising the description once an item is listed, so I added a nonsensical clarification to satisfy the rules. There is no longer a choice of cultivar....unless I receive an IM with a particular choice. I hope that makes sense.

Thats confusing, I edit the auction once its listed all the time.

IM me for a crystal clear explanation.

In my last auction (I am red-foot on ebay) they cancelled my listings because I mentioned that I would accept cash or money orders, that was over 2 years ago.
I sure which another auction site would pop up.  Ebay and paypal have gotten so ridiculous in their rules and fees.

I wanted to thank the winners and all those who contacted me. There is such an amazing enthusiasm for fig culture from the new members that I've made several more available.

good luck Frank...I have my eyes on couple of them...
