Has anyone ever dealt with the seller 'figrific' on eBay? This seller has listed figs such as RdB and Maltese Falcon at "Buy It Now" prices as low as $10. Current listings for those varieties are priced at $20. Just to be clear, I have no reason to think anything bad about this seller. I am simply looking for any references good or bad. He mentions Figs4Fun in his item description, but does not provide his F4F screen name. So, if you are figrific or know figrific, I'd like to hear from you. __________________ Paul the Fig Tree Destroyer in Fallbrook, CA (Zone 10A )

I talk to him occasionally. I have no reason not to trust him and have several nice trees from him that I bought. He does not post here. __________________ Hershell Zone 8. Ray City, Ga.

That is more expensive than most common cuttings out there, but this is Maltese Falcon, right? Is that not a high dollar fig anymore? __________________ Paul the Fig Tree Destroyer in Fallbrook, CA (Zone 10A )

I know some cuttings go for crazy money, but $20 for a single cutting is not cheap IMO. Or maybe I'm cheap. ;-) __________________ Phil - Zone 7A - Newark, DE Newbie fig lover just trying to learn.

But, Maltese Falcon was selling for crazy money not too long ago. $10 would be cheap. __________________ Paul the Fig Tree Destroyer in Fallbrook, CA (Zone 10A )

Seems like a reasonable guy. He has been selling some rare trees which ended up being around $100+ once the bids end. You can just email him and ask to buy which is better than waiting 5 days just to be ebay snipped at last moment. He also told me that he have more trees but they are too big to ship. So if any member stay in North Carolina you can probably visit him. __________________ Jarrett Spokane, WA ZONE 6A Proudly Serving in the United States Armed Forces, 2009-Present Everyone should have a green thumb Figs: Nero600m
