Good Deals

[ETXfigs]

I spend a lot of time shopping around online for figs. When I see something that looks like a good deal, I feel like sharing that info with the forum. I don't think posts about figs that I find for sale go against the rules, as long as I'm not selling on the forum. If this goes against the rules, moderators please delete the thread.

I prefer to look at fig trees on figbid that have fixed prices and buy now option. That's just my preference. I'm sure you can often get better deals when bidding.

There is WM#1 and De Tres Esplets for $25 fixed price and $12 shipping. I just noticed while writing this that all of those WM#1 are already gone. They go fast and I will post what I see when I see it. If anyone else knows of some good deals, post them here please.

I have mentioned Coastal Fig Company before but I'm going to put it here because I think their prices are good. The shipping is only $10 on the website. I got Dr Gowaty for $20, and Violette de Sollies for $35. They have Ventura for $20 that seems like a good Adriatic. Fig Data Base lists it as one of the true Adriatics. I missed Hollier when it was in stock. The rooted cuttings that I got from them were shipped fast and healthy. The Dr Gowaty has tripled in size and I cut half of the plant off to make it a single trunk instead of two. They also sell on figbid with free shipping and I think there is a couple of varieties there that aren't on the website.

Those sound like decent prices.
Yrs ago I spent a lot of time on figbid.
I go on there every so often to look for certain varieties.

I think figbid is a solid resource. I mean, nothing is prefect but unlike eBay they really go out of their way to protect buyers... It makes it a lot more safe to buy from some lesser-known sellers who are trying to build their reputation.

FigBid? I was on there 5 seconds ago. All and all a great place to buy from.
But the deals come and go very fast. Gotta keep an eye out.

His plants sell fast. Do you have insider information, like how many more Craven's Craving or BMKK he will be selling? His figbid is definitely one to watch. Sometimes he has a buy now option and sometimes not.

There is Red Lebanese Bekaa Valley, Red Sicilian, and Dr Gowaty with only about 1.5 hours left and no reserve. $7-$10+shipping, the seller is Reirden.

The cuttings I bought from MadaFigFarm (October 2024) were great! All rooted fast and have been super-vigorous (most have set figs already), and were packaged and labeled with care. That's just my experience, but I'm betting his trees will be great, too.

Not exactly cheap but some good ones were recently made available over at OTBP. CLBC, MIB, I258.

If you’re searching for Clbc I’ll have plenty of cuttings this fall once I verify it’s correct. I’ve got one in a 25 and 3 in 5 gallon. They didn’t set figs until September so no way they were going to ripen in time.

NJ Fig Farm has 3 gallon Unk Prosciutto $40 in stock.

For me @Bigbill at OTBP Nursery is my go too choice for both cuttings, and for trees. He's very popular so sometimes you have to buy it when you see it.

I think he's the east coast Fig King, Lol. His stuff goes fast. Several times I was going to buy something from his website but when I went back to get it, already gone. That's why I made the post yesterday pointing out that he had MIB, CLBC, and I258 available.

He was at our Figfest selling some trees too this past weekend. Very knowledgeable and a great fig grower.

MadaFigFarm is a great guy. I’ve visited him several times and probably a third or more of my collection came from him. He’s got Figs out the ears!!! I’m sure he will have more for sale. Once Cuttings are done, it’s Airlayers. Then cuttings in winter. His collection keeps growing, I wanna say he probably has the most varieties I’ve seen in person other than OTBP.

Kremp has Azores Dark right now for $30. Some of these I post, not because it's a smokin' hot deal, but because it's a good variety at a decent price that I don't see available many other places, if any at all.
