Good greif.....I looked on ebay and searched for poncirus just to see what was on there. I am amazed. I harvested about 2 1/2 quarts of poncirus(standard) this September. According to the prices on ebay I am sitting on several thousand dollars of seed. Knowing 99% of the ebay seed are old and probabaly not germinate I have a gold mine. To think.....I give them away....I see one add for 5 seed for $15.00 plus $4.50 shipping. Surely no one pays this for 5 seed. Save me from the crooks on ebay.😣

Not for standard trifoliata. I sell my fast tri for $15 for 10 seeds,shipping included in the USA. This is a quite rare one though as it flowers at 1 year old & is a true dwarf. Just got done cleaning my yard & there are already 9 fruit on the ground.
I use the money I make from them to pay for my fertilizer, soil & other growing supplies for the year.

I understand selling something rare for a fair price. Standard poncirus seed I do not understand why the market would be wide enough and support those prices. Especially since these seed are advertised all year long and in all probility will never germinate. I too trade my excess trees for potting soil, parafilm, pots and whatever anybody has to barter. Pays part of my expense.

I saw that. I am flabbergasted. Makes me distrust ebay and anyone associated with it. Etsy and Amazon are just as bad.
