Not really sure what your motivation was to do so Psymo, but I feel like you’d now like an explanation for my response to your initial post, so here’s how I saw it.
You chimed in with an opening that questioned my stated motivation to sell as (in your eyes) they take up no space.
You then proceeded to put in an “offer” that was unequivocally low for all the sales stock offered under the guise of “taking them off my hands”. This was despite the posts above yours indicating that PMs had been sent and so other interest had been publicised, or that I had a stated place to take them should they not sell.
You posted 2 days after I advertised the sale, it wasn’t like the thread had gone stale and was sitting there going nowhere!
There are many ways you could have chosen to engage and I think you picked one that was possibly arrogant but undoubtedly abrasive, so the response you got from me was written in kind. Having said that, nothing derogatory was directed exclusively at you. The content of your subsequent post means you unfortunately cannot say the same thing.
Obviously not for me, I’m clearing stock not collecting it, but it would be great if you can share your source for bonsai ready JBP at $5 a pop, in the spirit of community. I don’t demand people buy my stuff, if there is an alternative at a cheaper price they should definitely consider it. If they don’t want to pay the asking price, they shouldn’t and simply move on as I’m sure many others did.
Thanks to those who felt the need to comment on my behalf, you didn’t have to but I appreciate the sentiment.
PS : You should always do everything to avoid causing your in-laws to have a fit ... it's common knowledge I think.
