Trading on pbs

What is proposed here is a matter of personal choice, and I think it's a
legitimate use of the PBS forum. However, I find that people often
request something I've mentioned at a time of year when shipping a
dormant plant would be impossible, and I lose track of who has requested
it by midsummer, when I could lift some. In addition, I have had
requests for very rare or difficult plants that I've posted on the wiki,
some of which I no longer have, and with regret I have to answer these
too. (Please don't mention Crocus moabiticus to me again.)
It is also well to point out that when one has spent a good deal of
energy and shipping expense to send plants, the recipient should not
fail to follow through with a promised exchange.

I support this idea with gusto. I often have a single piece of something and it doesn't seem efficient to expect the BX to go to all the trouble of listing a single item, and divisions are often too big anyway. I just thinned my Sauromatum venosum and have a few hundred bulbs, some of which are the size of a softball. These probably aren't sufficiently exotic or hard to grow to be of interest to our more experienced (or jaded) members, but newbies might enjoy one. It's just one example.
Jim is right. Post a simple message that begins:I have some .......and/orI'm looking for ....
