Come on Calvin, your safe. You could bid higher and someone will over bid you. Do it just for the excitement.

That's part of the problem these sellers have been facing, obviuosly. Luckily I am forced to be an enthusiast due to property size and not a collector.

Who knows how many of this fig exist... maybe second chance offer was given. :)

I purchased several figs on ebay earlier this year. But I refused to go over about $25 to 30 for anything. But that's just me. :)

It is fun watching however. As someone said - like reality tv, only better.

WOW. First of all that is an extremely pretty looking fig. Congrats to the new owner. 

Second. OMG. 400 dollars. Then again, you only live once!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D

At least it is money spent towards a good fig grower, a healthy and delicious food, and not towards junk food.

I will pray for you that your wife does not flip out.

Very possible; and also may it have been rejected early.

There is an ebay minimum of 1 day (24 hours) time for the buyer/seller to accept/reject the offer.

Congratulations on the baby!

My wife decides, out of the blue, she doesn't want to raise the baby in the Cali desert lol SO I have been entertaining the thought of moving.

Thanks Suzi! Its our first baby! At least my baby will grow up eating figs he/she normally would never get a chance to try. Especially from an area, we had our honeymoon on!

Grow it in health, enjoy and best of luck for you and your wife with a new baby on the way. As for the move, it could be just a passing fancy. No offense ladies, but sometimes when you're with child, you have wild ideas. She might just be concerned about providing an ideal environment, which you will do wherever you live.

For crying out loud; it is just a 15-18" green twig!
Possible in the future.

Last time I saw I fig tree going for 400+, was back
in 1996 at Belleclare. It was one of BC's mature mother trees, ~6' tall,
1.5-2.0" girth, in very large pot - marked for buyer (who else?) Martha Steward...

F4F members don't hear of a tree( fresh newbies) and then it's the next hot thing because it's either unheard of or everyone else is talking about it. I remember when it was Sal's Corleone. Then it was Maltese Falcon. Last few weeks it has been RDB.

Now this insanity!

I'm telling you Right Now- Next hot one is going to be either Negretta, Valle Negra/ Valle Calda/ Nero 600, and Dall'osso.

Whoever paid 400+ is out of their f'n mind and don't know what they are doing.

I don't care how big a tree is, a cutting will get you a lot further, money and satisfaction wise.

Dominick is absolutely right .

If you look at who is bidding they are all very recent members who obviously don't know they could get cuttings and even plants for next to nothing if they wait a bit and make some friends here .
They will look back and realize their mistake soon enough . This is an interesting looking fig but that is all at this point . Even if it was amazing you are still wasting your money , it's only a twig .

How do you guys know who is bidding?  I've never been able to see who my bidding opponent is, but I don't bid much on Ebay.

I don't think we can assume that a member here is bidding unless he or she fesses up.  There are other people out there bidding that have never even heard of this forum. 

But if you are a bidding member here, I wish you luck and joy with your wins, and congratulations to the member sellers here!

I happily paid 405.00, and I'm certainly not out of my mind. What exactly bugs you when I buy a tree? My prerogative, even if I paid 1k for it, who cares? It's my business and my finances. Not sure why you'd have an issue.

I can only say that this is a hobby as well as many other hobbies that people spend a lot of money for. I know that the sellers are going the extra mile to obtain these unique varieties of figs, and also spends a lot of time and money to bring those varieties to USA. I know $ 400 sounds like a lot of money for many here including me. But if I had that kind of money I would not hesitate to spend them for some varieties that I want. After that probably my wife would divorce me.

Did not mean to offend Dom. Just my impression and it could be wrong. I can understand you wanting to prevent others from spending their life savings too. On the other hand, Bass' kids need a college fund. With a business it is important to get the most from something like this, because as you say, it will be much more readily available in the future and not as valuable. I am taking business courses so I am looking at it from that standpoint. I realize now that the phrase "sour grapes" has a selfish note and I am sorry, that is not you at all.

Negative much? You are very narrow minded. Just because I do something, you wouldn't do doesnt make me stupid, just different from you. Again it's my business. Please stop with the immature naming calling, what are we in gradeschool? LOL

I worked hard to be able to provide for my family and want the best for them. Who the heck are you to tell me I'm f'ing out of my mind? Again it's my perogative, be more open minded and less judgemental, friend.

People Pay what they want to pay- no qualms with that. But the statement was really about-at what cost when cuttings can be easily attained if one would just be patient.

Now that things are calm I would like to say congrats to the buyer and wish you all the best and many many years of happiness with your new fig tree. Hope it bares fruit for you for ever!
I think it is awesome!

I am just as excited for Bass being the source for this new fig. Bass never ceases to amaze us with his rare and hard to get figs.

It's a win win situation for both parties.

To Dom, if you ever want to sell some of your rare fig cuttings ( like the ones you mentioned above ) I would be very happy to buy some, cuttings or plants.

Happy figging.

 I remember when I was a college student and paying my tuition by my own, I used to think people are crazy for spending $25 or $50 for a plate at a restaurant. I was only willing to spend $10 max a plate a couple of times a month. Now that I work and have a little more money, I can spend $50 for a plate and feel good about it. If I had $410 extra fund, that tree would've been mine.. :)

I don't see any problem for anyone to pay any amount of what they can afford. Some paid over $3000 when PS3 first came out. $700-800 was the going rate for Nintendo Wii. Yes, I know.. you can wait a few months or a year for the price to settle. But If you want it now and you have the money without sacrificing your left arm and your kids college funds, you can pay what ever price you see fit.

Again, congrats to Howie. I hope the tree will bring your an abundance of beautiful and tasty figs.

My concern here is that people (newbies) will think its normal to be paying hundreds of dollars for plants that normally would sell for 10 to 40 dollars or even less .
I can also understand that not everyone wants to deal with the uncertainty and hassles of cuttings , and would instead be willing to pay more for a plant . But hundreds of dollars for a newly rooted plant is nuts .
These are not baseball cards , they depreciate very quickly .
I have over 100 fig plants and have in total invested around $500-600 . From those plants I have propagated and traded dozens . I have also given away rare varieties to complete strangers and have also been a recipient .
That to me is the spirit of this forum and the people on it . They will help you , all you need to do is ask , and also one day return the favor .

I can really see your point John. If paying high price for fig plants becoming the norm, I don't think I can ever afford to get one. I really appreciate you looking out for the newbies, like me, in this forum.

I still don't think Howie is out of his mind for paying the price. If he is happy with his purchase, I believe that a money well spent.

I just hope we don't have too many Howies around. I too want to have that Galicia Negra.. :)

Howie did what he wanted and what he was able to do, that's fine. I totally understand the excitment of getting a special variety. I spent plenty when I first started, unfortunately I spent a lot of that with an unscrupulous seller who sold me trees that weren't what they were supposed to be. I now have a White Madeira that was supposed to be black! Howie has no worries in that regard here, his seller is top notch. He's obviously not the only one who would spend that much, otherwise the bid price wouldn't have gone so high. It's all good folks.

Howie, As I stated earlier, I'm happy for you. You got the tree you wanted, and that's great. The problem is most of us are commonners, with limited funds. When I see things like this, it can create mixed feelings. Also as I stated earlier, it takes me out of the game. I can no longer bid on fig trees knowing they will go for a premium price, he who has the gold rules. This is not your problem, with this said, it still creates one.
The funny part of it all, this fig has no history. Sure everyone wants the lastest. Could be when you finally get to taste this fig, it might end up being low on the list for taste.

Howie has lots of new friends and Bass' beautiful children are going to be able to go to college! But this is wonderful. Some people who can afford them will grow and propagate them and in a few years more and more of us will have these most exotic figs. Seriously, thank you! 

Oh that purple...

I'm sorry if I offended anybody. I was just excited about the G. Negra, I certainly didn't mean to boast. I've met a lot of generous members and have received as well as passed along great cuttings. If anyone wants anything from my collection just ask, I'd be happy to pass around great strains. Would be a travesty to lose a great strain, forever.

Hello Howie,

Congratulations. I don't think you need to apologize.

I am a newbie to this forum and I agree with johnparav's comment regarding "newbies". I have built my collection with a per plant limit of $15.00, because that is what I can afford to pay for this Hobby. I currently have approximately 30 different varieties of purchased plants.

If the purchase is with-in your means, God Bless and successful gardening.

Best Wishes

Likewise, Luke. I feel with these prices, I won't be able to afford some of the nicer figs for my own family. I originally joined the forum thinking I agree with the spirit of Encanto Farms and its members. To share figs and fig stories with the goal of "wide distribution" within the fig loving community...  But this indicates the contrary...

Michael, 

I think members support each other with our wish lists. 

My wishes have been fulfilled to the max, and I am now in the process of paying it forward!  There are people on Ebay who bid with no clue of this forum.  I have free cuttings coming from reputable sellers on Ebay at no cost to me.  But I hope with my whole heart that they get huge prices on the items they list, and that those prices are paid!

Your membership should always be fun.  Relax!

I have met some really great people here, and got some great strains for literally nothing. Just cause I paid for a plant on EBAY, for me, doesn't change the fact, that this a great website and has great members, who give selflessly.

The thought never crossed my mind to hoard, I have already promised free cuttings of GN to several members.

Suzi,
If I post something you don't agree with that's fine - disagree if you want. But don't misread what I write and tell me to relax. There's nothing in my post that suggests I'm excited or upset or even really all that focused. If you didn't understand my point I'll reiterate it for you. I suggested a concern that if prices get too high on certain figs they might not be gifted as easily or freely to others who have them on their wish list. In reading your response I question whether you understood my post, so perhaps if you reread it you'll see I'm not upset at all.
Have a lovely day and please do "pay it forward" as that is one of the better parts of what this forum does.

Howie,
I did not mean to personally point you out as someone who might not pay. I do see in this thread that you've taken a few lumps for spending so much money. I personally don't care how much you spend for figs. It's not any of my business and I don't really care. My only concern is how this may or may not affect the gifting of cuttings to other members. I, as a member, give away a lot of cuttings and a lot of plants. I usually only gift plants locally as I don't want to box them up and pay shipping. I have heard folks ask others whether they are asking for a fig they don't have or ask them to state they don't yet have a certain fig before they will send rare figs. And that is about the concern that someone wants that expensive fig to resell and that is tied to the high prices on Ebay. I don't see how you read what I wrote and somehow got that my mention of hoarding had anything to do with you. I do understand, however, that you might be defensive as a few folks did take shots at you. I did not, and if you read that into my post you shouldn't have. I think if you have $400 to spend and you get what you want then great. I was pointing out my concerns about gifting, not any opinion on you or anyone else spending their money. I wasn't trying to be negative - just voicing a concern about how things may affect me. You, sir, can do whatever you want. It's really none of my business. Or anyone else's and I do hope you enjoy your new fig. It sure is a beauty.

Really? Wow. I forgot to check it this morning.

As to you being off the hook Howie, lol, probably not. Enjoy your fig. I think it's one of the prettiest figs I've seen, but then I love purple. I hope it both tastes really good, and grows well for you.
