Brand newbie. Should I feel dumb (overpaying) for buying from Fig Boss?
Just getting into figs this season and I bought some cultivars from Fig Boss. I went to his site because his YouTube videos are so helpful and it was one of the first fig web sellers I found out about.
Now I’m feeling a bit dumb because for example I paid like $100 plus shipping on a 1 gallon Nerucciolo d’Elba fig when I see Onegreenworld has (when in stock) 2 gallon Elbas for $50! And to say “well what you got is small but hey it’s a rarer cultivar and in stock,” I see a one-gallon rooted cutting Elba on figbid right now that already has much more vigorous this-season growth than the one I bought and it’s looking like it will end the auction around $80.
The figs I bought from him are healthy and doing great but I feel like my excitement and lack of research made me make a, from a buyer standpoint, dumb purchase decision.
But obviously people buy from him anyways so there must be other reasons to be ok with his up charges? (Which I’m not faulting him for at all, I get it he’s not a nursery he’s basically a solo hobbyist with an insanely big collection).
