Congrats they are both beautiful plants both of us got our Neos at the start price that is a first. Smile, somehow we always find more room for these beauties.

Are you asking about my magatama? It's doing well and one of my favs. It is in the same price range as Fukiden so SE probably won't list that one on ebay. You can send her a request for one.

So I am trying my best not to bid on any of tonight's Neos on eBay but two of them are testing my reserve. I am sure I will cave I always do.

Thanks Ginger. The plant on the OL website is Mangetsu. Not Magatama. Different plant

Ahhhh, it appears that seed-engei sent the Sedirea Minmaru I won over the weekend to the wrong address....what would you all do? I am already worried about killing it and if (a big IF) the person who got it sends it back to seed-engei, and they then send it back to me, that poor plant will have been in a dark box for well over a week....while I did get it for a good price, I still don't want to be starting out with an already extremely stressed plant....what does everyone think?

Have you communicated with Seed-Engei about the issue? What do they suggest? I'm thinking they may have a comparable replacement plant they would send you, if they don't get the original back right away. Hopefully the recipient will refuse the delivery, since presumably it would be addressed in your name.

I sent them an email and my hope is they sent me an incorrect tracking number. The one they gave me said it would be delivered on Wed but when I checked today it said it had been delivered to someone a half hour from me....so not sure how that could have happened if it had my address on it as it is not even close....like they just misread the number but at least on the right street. So would you tell them you did not want that specific plant if it had been traveling in a box for over a week??

I'm thinking that if you won it over the weekend, it wouldn't have shipped until today, so wrong tracking number might be a good bet. Which night's auction and what part of the country do you live in? Was it Priority Mail (most places 2 days) or Priority Mail Express (1 day, even from CA to PA, where I live)?

Geez that is just bad I so hope it is the wrong tracking number and your plant reaches you in good shape soon. I know that is wishful thinking the pessimist in me doesn't even believe what I just wrote. SMH I am sure they will send you another plant they are good folks.

skinnybonedog · #**979** 11-05-2013, 10:11 AM

I just sent another email indicating if this really is a shipping error and not a wrong tracking number, that i do not want that specific plant...will let ya all know when they reply. The worst part is i live a half hour from them and have asked to pick up my plants in the past and i never get an reply to that....so i could have picked up this plant in person!

Oh now that smarts I think I'd be tempted to just drive over to them.
