Disocactus x hybridus for sale

Some years ago I got what has been identified for me as Disocactus x hybridus (or possibly ackermannii), and it keeps breaking - I don't have the heart to throw the pieces out, so now I have too many plants in various states of repair; hence I offer them for sale to anybody who can come and pick one...

A very common cactus, but what is it?

I inherited this one years ago, and being a cactus novice, I don't know what it is, although I see them in many places, but without flowers - can somebody tell me?
