Wish I shared your luck, but my cheap finds always die fast.

Yeah, terry_ellis54 has the right idea checking the light first.

Yeah, that's smart. People love feeling like they got a deal, even a small one. It's way better than the bad feeling of a late fee.

Exactly, it's about working with what you've got. Denver's soil and light are probably perfect for certain cacti, while everything else is a constant battle. Your friend didn't just give up, they finally read the room. That cactus will outlive all the fussy plants people keep trying to force. It's a quiet kind of smart.

But what if your one price is too high? You just lose that person forever. A basic option gets them in the door, then they can see the value for later.
