RE: [Aroid-l] Mini rant right back at ya.

From: "Harry Witmore" <harrywitmore at witmore.net> on 2004.11.08 at 16:14:41(12362) I could not agree more with your statement. It is fraudulent to sell something you know is not in fact what it is. I believe that these folks are very few when it comes to selling rare plants. So, when you see a plant that you know to be rare and hard to find and it is mislabeled as something very common and therefore is selling very under priced, do any of you contact the dealer and tell them so or do you bid on it? I have contacted them and bid also, so, that makes me no better than those folks that try to take advantage of the buyer. I have also contacted dealers to let them know their product is mislabeled. I usually get a thank you but they do not always change the name but most of the time it's pretty cheap anyway. I tend to steer clear of the really hard to find things unless I have already established a buying relationship to the dealer. I'm always looking for a good buy but I try not to take advantage of anyone who is either selling to me or buying from me. I don't worry much about everyone else since I can't control them. +More >If someone is just doing this as a lark to make a fast buck, and has no >horticultural knowledge as to what they are really selling, then that IS >FRAUD! b.f.n...deb/S.AL _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
