Hey guys,
Now, to start off this topic: The purpose of this post is in NO way, shape or form, meant to incite anger or to be disrespectful, a personal attack, rudeness or insulting. This post is merely meant as a warning when dealing with this particular seller and, in general, eBay. If this post violates the Flytrapcare forums rules, please remove it immediately. Thanks!
I recently was browsing through eBay auctions for Nepenthes and I stumbled upon a Nepenthes hamata from a seller by the name of "Chipi3s (now native_shop- April 4th 2016)". I recognized this particular hamata because I have seen it in a previous auction shown in this picture. Take notice of the description. He clearly states that it is a Wistuba clone and you can see the Wistuba tag in the background. This auction ended on December 25th. Now observe this auction which was placed on eBay on January 23rd.
He states now that the exact same plant is a Borneo Exotics clone which is rarer and much more valuable. A BE clone from predatoryplants sold for $480 recently. By the way, with all this talk of the difference between clones, what is really the difference between an AW and BE clone?
If this post becomes a center of argument (or if there is proof of this auction being legitimate) , I will simply remove this post. If someone were to respectfully agree or disagree with this post then that's fine with Flytrapcare forum regulation and therefore, fine with me.
