Pretty funny! "Bidding has ended for this item The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the listing" I guess he got some negative feedback himself! __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS?

Makes me think I'm in the wrong business....nah I couldn't sleep at night. What was that old saying about a fool and his money? I thought I had seen the worst at BonsaiBoy and EvesGarden but this guy literally takes the cake. Unbelievable! Last edited by sauce : 7-Dec-2005 at 10:01 PM.

My favorite part........

"I make no attempt to make money on shipping. Just need to cover my cost"

By the way i'm new just thought i'd say Hi i'll be posting some pics soon of my plants . i just recently moved to a great piece of property. 6 achers,, will a quaking peat bog/ swamp behind my house covered in a-lot of places by nice lush green moss and a -lot of great trees,, so if anyone ever needs moss,, just let me know i have it growing all over my yard ,, even on my shed roof cant get rid of the stuff ,, peace
