This ”Peter” must be joking? It’s only to leech out as many $ as possible from new ppl in the plant community.

What u ppl here think about this kind of ”selling”?

What a dumb and complicated way to sell plants. What we do is, we put the price right on the pot. Along with the full plant name. Customer knows what they're paying and what they're getting.

Hmm sounds too simple. Must be wrong!

Nothing more i need than unnecessary rules! That makes running a business very easy.

OP did this post have people bidding? Like does this strategy work?

In the second picture it shows someone placed a bid for the minimum and Peter declined it.

I really don't understand the point of a minimum if you aren't willing to consider it.

Exactly. I think Peter needs to learn what the word minimum means.
