Inventory Reduction Sale & Penny Start Auctions

[Don Blackmond]

I'm selling off a bunch of bonsai and pre-bonsai, and planning to list the trees on ebay as PENNY START and NO RESERVE auctions. I'll let the market dictate the price they sell for, unless you want to contact me directly with an offer to end an auction and sell the tree outside of ebay.

Whatever happens, happens. So, have fun if you want to play along....

1st listing is a nursery can full of Japanese Quince. Red flowering trees. I stopped counting at 55 not including the mother tree.

What are they worth?

Do you know if you can you ship to Canada?

Next up is a Juniperus Procumbens. I think it stands like 28" from the soil. Its a twin trunk with a ton of branching. Ready to be cut and wired.

You can carve me up with your low bidding then carve up your tree when you get it.....

Here is a trident maple that has been reduced to a trunk line. All you need to do is repot it, carve taper at the apex, feed, water and let it grow and develop.

Another Trident Maple. Carving project? Chop and make sumo? Or just firewood?

I happen to like it. Shari running up one side of the tree, starting above the low branches. It has character and interest.

I'm confused about the pro nana shimpaku. Looks like pro nana to me. What is the reason for listing two different juniper names? Your the expert just trying to figure out what you are saying.

Procumbens is actually a term used with many different species, it means low and spreading. I don't know if this was what Don Blackmond meant or if it was just a misidentification on his part but just thought I would share that with you.

I used an old listing as a template and made a mistake. It has been fixed. I'm sorry if it caused you any inconvenience.

Hopefully, there is no longer any confusion.

jkd2572, you no longer have any risk of buying a misidentified bonsai from me.

Don,

I am sensing some urgency/frustration from your posts?
Is everything ok? Are you clearing inventory and getting out of bonsai?

Youre right Just a typo

Don,

I agree, it doesn't sound like the Don Blackmond that we all know. I hope Don was just having a bad day and not someone who stole his identity. Anyways, I'd be careful out there

 

[Don Blackmond]

Here is the procumbens auction:

Do you plan on selling one of the chojubai you mentioned in another thread?

Yes, but not as penny start and no reserve auctions. I have 2 specimen trees left. Send me an email if you are interested.
Thanks
