More eBay Concerns
« Reply #15 on: March 25, 2014, 03:02:29 PM »
The eBay seller is claiming that Rod gave out more bulbs to someone he is no longer acquainted with and that is where the stock comes from

A mixture of the vaguely plausible and the impossible.  Again oddly reminiscent of the seller who sold Anne Wright (and others) a fake 'Ailwyn' a few years ago.  he said he had originally bought his 'Ailwyn' at a nursery somewhere in the vicinity of Anglesey Abbey but could not remember exactly where.

I've asked him to take a picture of the bulbs he has in flower rather than the photo he's nicked from someone else's website .

Given the choice between believing a respected SRGC Member and an ebay seller who steals photos, I know who I put my faith in - Rod Begbie.

Totally forgot about this matter on Ebay. I already heared on the 9 th of March that this seller is bad news  >:(.
I was informed from out of the UK that this seller sells snowdrops on Ebay, but that I must not even consider to make any bids !!
So I personally have no experience with this seller.

But as Maggi said already, it is not difficult who to believe........

I can take a picture yes. My photos are not brilliant so I used the suppliers image. I've allready spine to the original owner and have agreed to not re use the image.
Regards.      That is the reply I got when I asked for a picture of it in his own garden . Please nobody waste your money on buying from this seller , it all seems highly suspect !

I'd be wary, Emma.  If it is the same guy as before he can become quite threatening when forced onto the defensive.

Waves to the person selling the snowdrop on eBay if he's looking . Just stop , we are on to you , it's not fair to rip people off .
