Acquiring Neofinetias Via EBay

[MattWoelfsen]

Yes, I really have enough Neofinetia. But I could not resist getting these two plants: Seiryujishi 青龍獅子 and Kinkousei 金光星. I was the only bidder for these two plants--there were some wild bidding on other Neofinetia that night.

When you see the pictures of this Kinkousei 金光星, it doesn't look healthy, it has splotches and some brown marks. But the interesting thing about this plant is the leaves have a unique characteristic which is called 'sukashiboshi' (transparent stars). When you hold this plant up against light, you see bright spots on the leaves.



The Seiryujishi 青龍獅子 has a lot of contortion and this one has a lot going for it.

Has anyone noticed that Seed Engei has changed their pictures' background from the bright blue color to something a little bit more vague off white/blue-ish or in some pictures, black cloth?

Notice yonex1028 has several plants re-listed for the second time for Sunday early evening.

The minimum bid for Musashi has been reduced from 1,000 to 800. Not my cup of tea, but it is a very rare one.

After a short hiatus, Seed Engei has offered up some unusual and a little more pricey plants. I'm watching several of them. In the opposite direction there is a Manjushage that is priced below US$70!!

I saw that Matt I was more than surprized at that price. I have missed them but I think Satomi was in Japan. Good to see them back.

I must be on Neofinetia drugs. I just bought four of them. YIKES!!

The Manjushage was 0 bid up until the last 10 or so seconds. It went from $69.99 to $123.49!

That was a fair price for it. Congrats on the winning four of them. I had some on watch but got caught up in football and forgot about them. Imagine lol

There was a lot of heavy bidding on some plants and then some plants were single bid or not at all. The Byakko went for $99 but the bidding was between two persons. The Amanogawa, which is a similar plant as the Byakko, was not bid.

3 bidders drove this Ryouga from 139.99 to 280, with over 5 hours remaining. I'll pass.
