Huh, that's too bad... And, of course, you're sure that you haven't saturated the market? (not that either one of you have a history for that!)

not moving online - unless you've got nana petite by the ton.
not even then, there was a ton in the auction on Sunday and it was selling for dirt cheap.

I am kinda mad that I split my rhizome up like I did. I also wish that Dave, Ghaz or a few others had been there, there were a bunch of crypts that werent IDed right and I wanted clarification on a crypt that I had that was the reddest wendtii I had ever seen.

Yeah, I'm talking about newer plants like the Rotala verticillaris I started spreading around last year. I bought that for $30.00 / stem and can barely sell it for $10 / 3 stems. I always send more than 3 stems and people know that about me. It's even great for aquascaping and not just collecting.



Anyway, I'm sure Dave is e-slapping me now for hijacking his thread.

Back to Dave's awesome tank !

Ironically, the one plant I'm looking to buy online is... nana petite.

I sell the Vesuvius runners online in a matter of minutes, probably need to raise prices while I can. I see myself flooding that market quickly, can't control the stuff, I could sell a runner of 4 plantls like every few days/week at this point. I should trash it rather than ruin the market for it ;)

Am surprised the Stellata isn't selling, it really looks great.

With the turnout GWAPA has had the last few months, I find it hard to believe you wouldn't be able to sell all but the most demanding plant.

The online price for plants is a little different then GWAPA prices!

Ive have had trouble selling lately as well, had to lower prices and even ended up just trashing some a week or 2 ago

Blaise, you'd be surprised. Between Kris, Neilanh, and I, we could bury the club in Stellata insidetwo months.

It is a high light plant that does one of two things - slowly dies off, or explodes in growth.

Next set of runners, Ben, you get one if you'd like. Check out the left hand side of the tank, it is a mid ground plant, sort of a pygmy chain sword of corkscrew vals. Unbelievable plant, one of my favorites.
