There's an Italian 258 on eBay with under an hour to go....it's at $1525.00!!!  This must be one of those mistakes, right?

I'm not bidding. Lol. It don't look like a mistake.

I'll be very surprised if the seller gets paid for this.  That's incredibly high.

Man he's giving that tree away LOL

If that one is out of your price range maybe this is the one for you

Wow. Well, congrats to IamKriya!

$1550 final price.  Looks like the buyer was determined to have it.  Congrats to both buyer and seller.

Infigsanity. 
IamKriya, any thoughts on this??

You mean I missed out?!?

I'd love to find out if buyer actually paid.

Just imagine it dies on you this winter lol.

Wow, just when I thought things were starting to cool down a bit...I am wrong again :)   The heart wants what the heart wants.  I do understand that.  If you can afford it this does happen.  Is this a new record?  If not, how high has one gone for?

Seems artificial to me.  If you look, for example, one bidder 8***K(1040) bid on 12 different trees, they won most of them, were talking thousands of dollars dropped tonight on fig trees.  I can't fathom why people would be so anxious to pay way over market price for these.

I'm also a little bit of a sore loser because these people picked tonight to inflate the prices into the stratosphere I was bidding on some of them :), I obviously wasn't meant to have them.

Don - Don't think it's artificial. 8***K was bidding on more than that and lost some.  Also won his 12 auctions from 3 different sellers.  I also wonder why people pay so much for trees as I've been on the losing side many times.  I did win some cuttings tonight though.  :)

Darn, I missed out again. $1525 is such a great deal!

Man I feel poor now. I hope that tree is worth the price.

I think I need to start selling some rare fig trees.

Can somebody enlighten me the name of this variety that fetched USD1550.00?

I am too attached to my trees to let them go. The Italian 258 is pretty. I have been hearing some good things about it. Not sure what the value of this variety or any variety. On Ebay things can get out of hand and egos takes over. On this sell, I am thinking maybe he is a Doctor or Well off........Now that I think about being in this community, I am grateful to be able to get some great varieties thru trade or as a gift. Thanks Everyone.!!!

Thank you armando93223. Congrats to the buyer and seller.

imagine how a good taste of IT 258. 

Wow

We shouldn't hate on the winner of that auction. His butler puts his pants on one leg at a time just like anyone else.

That's a scam!

What kind of scam, Aaron?
