| I'd say a bit expensive taking into account postage. It's only an echinopsis. Now if it were a rarer type of plant, then that would be good. Even so I can see this one going for $40 - $50+ just crazy |

| Michael, PM me whenever you want to sell me a pup - (seriously) but not at the price hornet is bidding. Always wanted a variegated and its my birthday tomorrow, but still can't be tempted to outbid hornet at $27 plus postage. I think $15 would have been a decent price. |
