    Wow I'm shocked - couldn't quite believe it till I followed that link! :eek:
    Do people really not realise what a rip off she is?

    Still, I'm one to talk. It was years before I realised that there was more than one variety of tomato. Thought it was just big or little. :o

    If you look at what else she's selling there are loads of really expensive seedlings/plug plants. If she sells half of what she lists she's doing well for herself but I do feel sorry for the buyers who obviously don't know what they're doing.

    In the past, I've bidded on cheap random stuff just to get positive feedback.
    £2.54 p&p is hardly cheap:eek:

    Yeah, but if you don't look at the p&p section, you can be easily fooled into just bidding for it as a 99p item.

    And being 99p it's a free listing so if it doesn't sell she's lost nothing :)

    I've got some very rare edible dandelions in my garden - I'll sell you 6 of those for 99p.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: that really made me laugh! But you might be on to something there....:think: :D

    I have just found a few seeds that a lady from another forum sent to me. Is it too late to sow them now?. I know they wouldn't flower this year but they might not be viable if they are left another year before sowing.

    There are some very silly people about. Last year a nearby garden centre was selling plastic pots containing about 15 radish seedlings and were charging about £5.99. I can't imagine who would have bought them unless somebody wanted to impress visitors when they invited them round for morning coffee on their patio. I think e-Bay mania must be one of the new diseases of the technological age. Why do people think that just because something is for sale on e-Bay, it's going to be a bargain?

    If you think that is bad then what about the person who is selling Poundland polytunnels for £8.89 + £2.49pp! I can't believe how someone can rip another person off like that.
