If a seller lines out, say, 20 single fans of a particular cultivar, the next season some may be double fans, a few triple, and some may remain single. I would think that it's simpler for the seller to use one listing page, since you will get AT LEAST one fan, but some buyers may get multiples. High volume sellers may not have the time or energy to differentiate.
How does a seller determine he has enough plants to sell, how does he determine what condition the plants are in, how does he determine anything about his plants before selling on the auction if he does not take the time to look at them at least well enough to count to up to three or four at most and make a note of that for the auction? I agree it would be simpler for the seller to list the plants without paying much attention to them, I surely hope that is not the reason so many vendors list their plants as single fans...because they don't have the time or energy to differentiate? Maybe I am not understanding the process.
It's fine with me...the sellers can list single fans if they want...it just seems like a terrible business practice. Most people avoid buying single fans and that just seems to be common knowledge.
