Vicks,
I'm sorry I don't understand your question.
You get everything in the picture, it is also listed at the top of this thread in the first post.

I am out of  both money and space this year, but I wish that I was not! What an AMAZING deal! Well worth the current bid and still a bargain. And also, thanks tremendously for your dedication to the cause and your generosity toward the fig foundation. This is a great idea and I'm sure that many of us will use it in the future for fundraising for the foundation.

I'm with those who are already overwhelmed with cuttings but who think this is a great idea for fundraising for a good cause!

My best to the lucky winner!  Three winners here!  The winner of the cuttings is one.  No. two is the foundation!  No. three is YOU, Remp!  "Tis far better to give than to receive." 

Great idea, and it appears to be working!!

This is a crazy amount of cuttings for the money. I just can't use this many. There's some very nice varieties in this lot. Anyone want to split this up? Even 3 ways, etc.? There's 8 cultivars I could use.
I'm sure no one would object as long as we're bidding the price up. Does anyone object?

Cool - that's two. We still need one or two more as we're both in for $50 apiece. If no one minds, that is.

OK. So at this point Vince and I have said we'd split this lot if we can find one or two others who want some but not all of these cuttings.
Any takers PM me. I have to run over to the farm today and get my veggies, eggs and dead animal parts but I will try and monitor as much as I can.
mmmm mmm mmmm lamb, home made apple sauce, collards (good southern boy) and the last of the fig ice cream for dinner.

Yes the bidding,ended at 5pm Pacific time. I apologize as I am hosting a visiting artist that is teaching at my school this weekend and didn't have time last night. Thank you all for your participation. I was just trying to raise money for the foundation but an interesting problem arose. Ebay has a time clock that is very official but that doesn't exist here. I was wondering if vitalucky and jackster would be willing to split the bag of cuttings since it would be very difficult to determine who actually won if they pushed post at the same time. 4:59 and 5:00. The 5:00 bid is actually after it ended but they may have pushed at 4:59 and been pushed off as the forum processed the 4:59 post.

I will include something else where one or the other misses out on a cutting. In the future I think this idea could be done again but maybe through eBay for the foundation to make it fair.

What do you say Jackster and Vitalucky?

Thank you again for supporting the foundation.
Eric

Since we are here to share and have fun doing it, I will agree. I suggest you just make two bags and surprise us, instead of going over who wants what (the wish list might help too); we can always share in the future. What do you think?
Thanks

There seems to be a somewhat similar bulk fig offer on ebay.

So funny... I have a 3 foot (branched) Panache I want to compost and Panache is EASILY found at Rolling River, Raintree, Clifton's Nursery, Burnt Ridge... and so on. But I love the idea of contributing funds to our Figs4fun Foundation :-)
