Uh guys, don't look at NWOs planned eBay listings.... There are a few that will most definitely break your will to resist.

Been there, done that. Rain-no-hikari will sell for sure; thanks to the facebook posting at least that one may not make it to the auction.

The new batch that newworldorchids previewed on FB hasn't been put up on ebay yet, but they have relisted 3 that didn't get bids last time, including a very nice Seionishiki, for Monday afternoon thru evening.

I see the 5 new listings for Tuesday evening are up on ebay now, including a 15 growth Rain-no-hikari.

Just got back from dinner. Went to a Greek restaurant, had excellent lamb suvlocki--got back to eBay, and was totally stunned that the Kara Nishiki is $125! Jayfar, excellent analysis of these two bidders. I think you are right about one of the bidders being a defaulcator. I think I've bid against these same bidders, fortunately the plants I wanted had little interest. I've been getting some successful bids because I am often the only one bidding.

Its pretty but $155.50?

Ego? Compulsion? I don't get it!

Do we have a definition of defaulcator?

Sorry I misspelled that word. It should be "defalcator". It really is NOT a good term to apply to what happened a couple of weeks ago when a bidder had gone so high in their bidding that his/her action prevented others putting in a bid. And then having to withdraw their bidding. By my use of this term, I was accusing the bidder of cheating. Which is not what I think happened. A defalcator is someone who deceives or tricks others into thinking something is true when in reality it is false.
