that would only really be useful to find them online, which i presume he is not wanting to do. i think in this case asking people where to buy them is best...
i used to work in a garden centre, and we only sold the ickle small ones. however, that wasn;t in an area where cactuses are overly common (the west coast of scotland-it was 30 degreese two days ago. the cold rain started again today...)
I meant look online to find the nearest shop to buy one, not get one of e-bay or something. I've only ever seen little ones for sale too, and only at garden centres. Unless there's a secret Cactus Expert among us, then I doubt anyone would know where to buy a biggun' as they're not widely avaiable.
My best advice, hire a pick-up truck and a spade then drive to the nearest desert and kidnapp one!
