I know what Susan is talking about. A couple of years ago I bought certain
terrestrial Chinese orchids at my local Home Depot for about $1.00 each,
three to a bag from Holland. Now this is a very pretty, incredibly easy to
grow orchid but not many people grow it, although I've been growing it for
over thirty years. Well, I placed several eBay auctions with these and used
pics of my much older plants in bloom in the auction. I couldn't believe
what people were willing to pay for these inexpensive plants. I actually
sold one for $42.00 to one person and several for over $20.00 each. I never
twisted their arms with these and had a very low reserve on each one. I'm
glad eBay is out there as I've been able to find many things that I wouldn't
have been able to locate otherwise and at reasonable prices.
