found this auction on ebay Fig tree "Jolly Tiger"-3 cuttings- NOT VARIEGATED when did these become so valuable what am I missing???

People are bidding on the picture. The better question is why does he show pics of variegated tree

I think he is using the same tactics as Burger King and McDonald's the picture on the menu never looks like the actually food you receive 

Hey guys, Tarek here from Adelaide, Australia.  [/Venting] I have been a silent reader for a long time, but the likes of this seller pisses me off. To get cuttings down under means that, most likely, is to buy from ebay..

This guy screams fraud, is it a coincidence that the only cuttings he sells are the rare ones?! The Jolly Tiger he claims it was reverted because otherwise the buyer will know sooner than the other cuttings if it was not.

I might be paranoid, but I have been scammed couple of times from the likes of him. [/Venting off]

Now, getting this off my chest, Spring is starting here and soon I will post pixes of my collection.

Thanks for reading and I'm happy to finally introduce myself.

First time buyers were doing most of the bidding there, they have no feedback and 100% activity with that seller. The idea of shill bidding has been hushed before but sure enough it does happen.

Spot on, shill bidding at its best. Almost 5 seconds between bids from the same "buyer", this seller must be named and shamed!

This green jolly tiger stuff just drives my buddy crazy

Hi Dave,
The second link is really instructive .
Wahou ... Such an unstable strain . Growing an orchard of those trees must be a full-time job.
