I saw this too, honestly I find it a little hard to believe without a bit of PhotoSHop work but that may just be me. Blas

the photos have been enhanced thats why there is a camera on the right lower orner of pics.

sir_dudeguy · #5 07/30/2006, 09:53 PM

same here...but he could also have just thrown all those in for the pic too???

or we could be totally untrusting and this guy might actually have this? lol

And, with a daily temp swing from 76 to 89?

sir_dudeguy · #7 07/30/2006, 11:13 PM

lol serious? i didnt even read the thing! it says that? thats soooo rediculous.

sir_dudeguy · #8 07/30/2006, 11:16 PM

i cant believe thats a rc member selling that lol.

and is it just me, or do some of those corals look like they're just copied and pasted in various spots throughout? i can only see a couple that i think are like that...but they look exactly the same, like the way they're folded/curled up whatever you wanna call it.. idk..not cool

The little camera in the corner is to show it is a picture from ebay.

I would like to know if he collected them from the ocean himself since he lives in Florida. Anybody know if ricordia is cheaper in Florida?

If you follow the link to his thread here on RC, he does say that he collected them himself in FL.

And sir_dude, why does being an RC member make him morally superior to any other reefer that sells on ebay? It is a free public internet forum. In recent time, ebay prices on corals have been super high, so he probably felt he would make more money selling them there as a bulk pack than having RC members all want to show up at his house and cherry pick them out one at a time.

You will probably see the winner of the auction relisting them on ebay soon at a markup. Such is life.

The photos were enhanced like crazy, look at the stand and you can see what I mean. Hope they all survive.

That is one of the worst photoshop jobs i've seen in quite some time...

sir_dudeguy · #13 07/31/2006, 12:15 AM

srry double post

newhere · #14 07/31/2006, 12:32 AM

If you look at his post the colors look different than on ebay. I wonder if the buyer can back out if the colors aren't what he posted in the auction? The person who won the bid has no history I will have to see the feedback from this one.

cerreta · #15 07/31/2006, 12:55 AM

Hmm, if I mention that these are likely illegals, will I get kicked off RC?!

Remeber the thread from a couple m,onths ago with that lady bashing other vendors of Ricordia?

BTW, sis she ever buy that lot of 100 and sell them at the auction/sale event you guys had up there?

aztbs · #16 07/31/2006, 01:09 AM

Yes, she did. And that's the last we ever heard from her. I bought two of them and they are actually very nice colors. I got to pick early.

if you look at the bottom of the eBay page you will see the question that was asked by the buyer, and the seller did nothing but back pedal on how the colors have faded because of the heat.
i dont think i would spend that much on that many unless i lived very close, because he is going to ship them with all the rock.
