i do an ebay search.

Manchurian apricot is a terrible prunus-- it's a wild variety that has not benefited from artificial selection.

You'd have to be a serious rube to pay that much for 1000 seeds, let alone two of them.

Christ, imagine how much money people are going to throw at me for thiese jolly tiger fig cuttings that are about to go on ebay....
