I found this on eBay:

3 ' SUGAR MAPLE TREE~~~Make your own syrup~
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2312158871

I sent the guy an e-mail asking if he didn't think it was misleading, considering how long it will be before one of these can be tapped.
He even includes information on how to get started making syrup.

I think get a chair and wait would have to be step No. 1 for this deal. Plenty of time to get that homebuilt rig done, I guess.

Did you see the size of the tree that the bucket is hanging on it must be at least 150 years old.

Apparently the guy has little to no scruples, and he has not bothered to reply to my e-mail, either.
