I have yet to see a really "rare" one listed in years, but you wouldn't know that from the auctions! I think if I see "Alocasia Robusta Borneo Giant" advertised one more time, I will do something dangerous...LOL....then there is the person who advertises an Alocasia Mac Borneo Giant only to tell you in the auction that it is "like" the Borneo Giant....false advertising.....OH YES!!!! I know that many of the auction sellers are also members of this group even if they do stay in the background, so maybe they will take heed...then again....maybe not...b.f.n...deb/S.AL +More > [Original Message] > From: Ken Mosher > To: Aroid list > Date: 11/2/2004 10:35:34 AM > Subject: [Aroid-l] Mini rant > > Like many of us, I check eBay from time to time just to see who's offering > what.
