It's fortunate that you can buy Peron and a lot of other tomatoes from Adam Gleckler at ordinary human prices. He probably also ships to NZ.

I bought a pack of 250 seeds of one of those varieties from tomatogrowers.com for $8.35. A much better deal! Ha ha! I hope no one ever buys from these thieves. I've seen those ads in the Sunday paper over the years too. They just reek of BS.

I would guess someone is buying from them. They must have some income in order to keep running those expensive adds. I assume someone is usually out there dreaming up new ways to separate me from my money so I get more irritated at the media (newspaper, radio, television) who make a profit by encouraging the ripoff artists.

Why is the media not required to perform due diligence on the ads they run. I'm just glad we have skin creams that will remove wrinkles, organic based lotions to regrow hair, and special formulas to enhance my performance with my lady.

Not only are they very expensive seeds,they are also poor quality as well,talking with a person yesterday that bought the "giant tree tomato"last season,he said it never grew over a meter and only produced 10 pathetic fruit.

It takes something else to be a shoplifter. Without the something else, the enzyte won't work.

Now that I have my wrinkle remover, my hair restorer, and my enzyte; I only need to order my "guaranteed to lose 30 lbs in 30 days" pills. I will need too order a two month supply of the pills though. I'm gonna be a whole new man. I understand the weight loss pills are some form of speed. They may put me in a mental institution, but I sure will look good dressed in white with wrap around sleeves.

I think I will also order some great tomato seeds I saw advertised and some teeth whitener. They say you can put the tooth whitener strips in your mouth at bedtime and wake up in the morning with a beautiful smile. I wonder if it will work if you just put the strip in the glass of water with your teeth.

I'm positive it will all work because all the television news channels say "trust us". I'm sure my newspaper wouldn't lie to me. I certainly trust all the commentators on the radio.

Naw, they don't sell Ephedra anymore - at least, not in diet pills. The ones they do sell are probably completely useless as far as weight loss... kidney or liver damage, well that's another story, lol.

I think the ad should say "Seeds FROM 2 plants". That would justify that price! Sheesh!
