Quite entreprenurial I think. A legitimate service for a fee.

The auction is closed and the description has been pulled, so it's a little hard to tell from the page alone that what the seller was auctioning off was positive feedback.

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!

Bonsai Techniques II listed for $160 U.S. on Ebay:

Just an FYI, these books are still available at most bonsai stores online and conventional, and they still list for retail. here is an example:

How about this one for $250 and $60 for shipping.http://cgi.ebay.com/Japanese-Larch-...QcmdZ ViewItem Plus this quote, "I make no attempt to make money on shipping" And this guy has a 99.5 % satisfaction rating? 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!

My favorite part........

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

Crook is a compliment for this guy, slimeball is a more fitting description.

the sad thing is that people keep buying these things and they take it home put it on a nice shelf near a window and then in a days ,,weeks its dead,,,kinda sad ,, i took a few classes and read alot before i even bought my first plant to work on ,,, education is very important even after all the years i have been doing this i learn something new every day ,, alot just from this site ,,it's good to have a site like this .
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
