I found some guy on Ebay last night who was selling a bunch of nice VFT's at pretty good prices. I think he may have been selling off his collection for some reason. He had a few Justina Davis for sale as well as a few Yellow and two B-52's and a few other nice varieties at pretty good prices. His ad said he bought the B-52's from David Connor. I placed my bid on one of the B-52's and kept my fingers crossed. A little after midnight I snuck out of bed like a little kid on Christmas morning. The auction was just ending and I won the larger B-52 at a great price !

I think I just got lucky. There weren't a lot of bids and these VFT's kind of went under the radar. All of his auctions ended after midnight and by this morning this seller had no more listings. I'll definately be scanning E-bay on a daily basis to see if he has any more bargains for sale !

Good hunting, and congratulations on your eBay find! :)

Matt and I both have a few B52s now that have grown into happy, healthy, hardy little plants ready for sale. They may appear at FlytrapStore.com probably in relatively small lots, to help give more people a chance to get one (or two). :)

Ha, I think I saw those too. They all started out at $.99. I was tempted myself, he also had some dutch and mystery plants. Lucky for you I didn't end up bidding against you, lol. Glad you got a good price. He did say in the listing if it worked out he would put up more.

Well I received my Flytrapstore B52 yesterday and as usual it's a beautiful specimen. I ordered it on Friday evening and received it on Monday afternoon which is truly amazing. I've ordered VFT's online from a lot of different sources and the Flytrapstore guys beat everyone with both their amazing service and their beautiful plants. I paid almost 3 times as much for a B52 from Carnivorous Plant Nursery and it's no where near as nice as the one I bought from FlytrapStore. Amazing ...
