Revised after first ten/15 orders5/28 5:50 PM

I lost my job 6 wks ago and will probably be moving.  I need to sell some duplicates.  Here's what I have, PM me if interested.  Free desert king cuttings with any figs bought, just ask if you want some.  Shipping is cheaper per plant in even numbers but tends to be expensive.  Plants are 6 - 16" tall, vigorous. I have 1 of some, more of others.  Most plants have some sunscald as I'm transitioning them outside.  Whatever doesn't sell here will go to fleabay  :)  You guys get first shot.

Bob, So sorry to hear about your job loss too.  I PM'd you with my choices.  2 or 9 would be fine.  Just want to know the cost per tree.  Thanks!

Haa!  You guys are fast!  Plants will go for $12 to $35 plus actual shipping, including my price for the box - $2 each.  If you want more than 2 I'll try to get a bigger box to save you $$.  Here's some group shots.  I can send you photos of the plant you'll get if you want.

OK Bob!  You have a pm with my contact info, 4 trees that I'd like, and if you have time would love photos when you get ready to ship.

Thanks for this opportunity, not only to help you, but to get some varieties I don't have or even thought of ever getting.

Suzi

PS, very excited because we finally sold this house we call "the money pit," and have the funds to purchase a farm with acreage in an area with a Mediterranean climate here in So CA.  I'll have room for in-ground figs!

Keep those cards & letters coming.  In the AM I'll physically move the pots around to be sure I have what you want, first come first serve in PM order.   :)

Forgot to post this last night.  I'm going through the orders.  Here's how it works:

You PM me what you want, I take a photo of what's available and send you price, get your final approval, weigh your plants, calculate postage online, give you final $$, pending PP I pack & ship.

I'm also open to trades  :)

BTW, here's what's available on line for $20 plus shipping.  Mine are either cheaper or much better.  Also I've revised the top post to reflect what's left.

Here's another one that was $20 plus shipping.  The photo was taken 2 wks after I got it - in this and the last photo they came in 1/2 pint pots and I put them in gallons.  This one had 2 fewer leaves when it arrived.

For some of the newer members here on forum.
The seller "Figsnstuff" is one of our own "longtime"  forum members and one of the best period.
Some of his plants i currently have in my yard.

Thanks for the recommendation guys. As a someone newly taken by fig-sanity, it's nice to learn who more of the trusted ebay people are. Although that particular fig is already far out of my price range, I hope he gets lots of $ for it.

 

Rcantor, I'm very sorry to hear about your job loss. Good luck with the sale of your figs. Looks like many are already gone. :)

We can tell he's someone important, but I personally don't know him.  I wouldn't mind being the importer of exciting new varieties of figs  :)

I can honestly say I missed out on this thread bacause I was in the hospital.
Marcielles Monticello sounds interesting.
I wonder if it's from the Monticello collection? I guess I'll think about it and PM him later.
