From what I know, cactus give no seeds. You have to cut the top part of the cactus, and re-plant it for it to grow again.

I get really nervous when people have very old rare plants....never know what's been poached and what you're supporting ...selling old plants is a bad idea gives the public the idea that they can just get old rare and endangered plants....
Telling my girlfriend I’d bought this would be a prickly issue.

P S, Basically, instead of having to pay full price to buy something you need (an object, a tool) - you can have it only when you need it and pay a lot less. For example: you need a tool that you will only need *once,* instead of buying it, for tens/hundreds of dollars, you can pay 5$ or something and use it that one time you need and return it to the Tool Library. Not only you economize a lot of money, but it also is way more ecologically sustainable, since we won't have each to own every single tool we ever need, we won't need to waste garage space for those tools, etc. We'll just have one of these Libraries in our town, and we could come there and get whatever tool we need in order to get any job done.

How many of those plants are poached? Poaching is one of the reasons rare plants go extinct. I hope he making efforts to verify that his plants are obtained legally.
What was the name of the shop
if its going extinct why not just propagate it from seed or cuttings

maybe its non self-fertile or dioecious or maybe the selffertilized seeds are very weak. also cutting would be very risky. if it doesnt work out u can lose the whole plant to a disease.

I'm sure you'd know more than a scientist who's invested years of his life studying this particular species of cactus. They are rare, you didn't have one, and the elephantipes grow from a caudex, not whatever you're saying. No one said every plant in that shop is rare; they said quite the opposite. They just don't sell to people like you who overwater.
