I believe it's time to start thinning my herd as they're starting to wake up.
To begin with, we'll start tame with five typical flytraps and five S. flava, both offered for only the price of shipping. We're starting slow more for my benefit, so I can see how this flows and adjustments can be made as needed.
Rules:
I'd like as many people to get these as possible, so you can only claim one plant per day, not all that are offered. You can get more than one, but you have to wait one day between claims. Example: claim one flytrap today, then wait until tomorrow to claim one flava. Days run from midnight to 11:59 CST.
Claimant pays shipping at the minimum via PayPal F&F, not G&S. If you can't pay the listed price, don't claim it. Price will be listed by the plant, followed by + (shipping cost) , likely $10. Last thing I sent was $10.20 for flat rate small box, but that is subject change if the USPS changes the price. Multiple claims can be combined in one box as long as they comfortably fit.
Claim by posting a reply with your name and choice. Once they're all claimed, or a reasonable amount of time has passed, I'll PM PayPal info and total to each claimant. You'll have 48 hours to reply, I'll get them all put together, sent, and give tracking info.
No guarantee of size, color, etc., but I won't ship a tiny plant unless it attached to a bigger one. Live plants, so US addresses only. There may be more later, but each offering is limited to what is listed. If there are five offered, any after the fifth will not get a plant.
Changes to the rules and procedures may be made at any time, but I'll try to keep them between offerings, not in the middle of one.
5 VFT - free + $10 shipping
5 flava - free + $10 shipping.

Unfortunately, these ones being offered are from you. I do have some from another member, hopefully I can differentiate and make some available to you.

I know. You've pawned the offspring off on me a few of times because you needed to find homes for them, and I'm a sucker for a Sarr.

I'm not surprised it's slow, this is a shakedown run, and they're only typical traps and flavas

Cool, but look back at your first one
sans wrote:sans - 1 VFT
and do it like that. It sounds like a silly point, but I believe it will be easier to keep track of the claims.

sans, what Chef is saying is you literally need to change your post to read:

sans - 1 vft

I figure he'll be using the time stamp of the post to figure out who's put dibs on things first. For example, if I wanted to join in the giveaway, which is a cool one, but right now my wagon's a bit loaded with the few plants I've got (some of which came from Chef...thanks Chef!). (Note that I said "loaded" not "over-loaded"...big difference there!!! :mrgreen: ). Anyhow, if I was to join the giveaway I would write:

Intheswamp - 1 vft

...and pretty well that's all in the post. It helps him save time as it only takes him a glance to see what's spoken for, etc.,. Just always remember, never, ever say anything regarding the number between 2 and 4!!! :o

Looks like no one I interested in the flava, so, once the last VFT is claimed, we'll end this shakedown run.
After I get them sent off I'll look at what's next. I will say that there will likely be more typical VFT's, the flava will probably reappear sometime, but we'll get into some of my more complex Sarrs.
