Just purchased this one.  HUGE fan of the unknown's here!  It's rooted, so taking a chance.  Better than losing in the lottery!

Description:  orgNIC ROOTED FiG TREE CUTTINGS.. why buy a cutting without roots just to find out months later it won't grow any. mine already have roots and are happy and well established, not used to being in the light they are a little translucent but once acquainted to a nice window they will grow rapidly. and eventually go outside in a pot, they are baby cuttings and you get to have the wonder and joy of watching them grow up. when the first fruits form and you eat them you will be delighted. children love watching these grow also. i can also upon request send a non-rooted cutting for grafting. If shipping internationally, if it does not show up I am still out the item and cannot refund your money but will send another cutting for replacement

Here are some questions and answers: 

Someone mentioned this eBay seller recently.  I can't seem to find the thread, though.  I just remember the typo on OrgNIC and the question.

She contacted me immediately asking if I wanted a rooted cutting or a scion for grafting.  She is a good communicator, so maybe she can't spell.  My ex was a school principal and couldn't spell at all!

Huge and Blue Black sounds like maybe Mission to me.  Time will tell.

Desert,

Seller is 10 min away from me, if the sellers location is true... I can actually go see the tree in person if the seller didnt mind.

nullzero, you could be a spy!  Oh my!!  :-)  That would be so cool to hear your report!

Suzi

I can buy one, and see if he/she she does local pickup and skips ebay.

Let us know if you bought it and picked it up!  Take photos if you can!  I somehow trust this seller, and am looking forward to seeing what i bought! 

Suzi

you've got me curious too!
I love adventure!
This is what 007 stuff is made of! :)
Hmmm, get me one too! LOL

Too many known good varieties out there, or an unknown from a known fig person would be more promising. Good luck though I hope you beat the odds and get something interesting

Several sellers on Ebay, and I don't know one!  Known sellers?  Didn't see Herman.   I don't know the others.  Ebay sellers don't often have the same moniker they use here.

I like the communication of this seller, and it's a dark skinned variety which gives me a little clue, plus the fruit is large..... another clue.  Guessing it's Mission.

Suzi

Desertdance some have it in there signature im thinking.
Mine is.

Maybe we should have a thread titled "I Sell On Ebay, You can trust me!"

Several rooted cuttings up for sale now with a lot of bids.  Do we know this person?  Name is mnedelcu 

Martin, my husband was born in Chicago, and his dad was an Olympic swimmer in 1936 in Berlin.  His dad got a bug in his head to move to a better climate.  He got tired of shoveling snow...

Suzi

I can understand that its bad enough to move the snow with shovel or snowblower and stinks to have to drive in it as well it gets old real fast over the years.

What gets me is there is no pictures. 
Love when they put "Organic" as a selling point. 

At least the girl didn't steal the pictures from anybody...

Hi Suzi, I noticed that no one responded negatively about mnedelcu YET, and they do have a 100% rating so I'm going to take a chance and see how an auction goes with them. Good luck in your bidding.

Suzi, there are several old threads about ebay sellers identifiying those who are also well known members of this forum. I know a couple ebay sellers also seem to be joining this forum recently for the sole purpose of selling figs, they usually don't post though. Bass has a listing right now. Most of them identify themselves as Martin indicated. Look for that in the description of the ebay listing.

Let me clarify, most of the good ones identify themselves by there names here on this forum. Gorgi is figsnstuff, Bass is Trees of Joy, Ed is ep3 or something close to that. Just do a search for ebay and read those threads that'll give you some guidance as to who is trustworthy

I have been a member for a long time and don't know what the actual member name of mnedelcu is.  I sell on Ebay, under a different name, but I have NEVER sold a fig or a cutting.  Mostly trying to sell stuff from the Estate.  Thank God, it's almost over......

Suzi

Suzi,my real name is Marius.

Suzi, you can trust this man, he is one of the best.

I meant Marius.

Got it!  I didn't know.  I am excited to receive the rooted cuttings from this girl that can't spell.  However, Got your rooted cuttings on my watch list, Marius!!

I won't bid till the last 2 seconds.........

Suzi
