died coral again

imbuggin · #1 05/09/2006, 02:03 PM

Here is the seller again is is know for all these died corals. Considering there is no such thing as a pink leather. I hate these people who claim to be in the hobby 20+ years and all and still post this crap trying to rip off the people who don't know any better. If this person were in the hobby as long as they claim they know this coral is died!

Actually I think they mean dyed.

It is ashame that people are still doing it and getting away with it.

Please note: Colors of corals will vary from tank to tank and color also varies due to different lighting options and varied tank chemistry. Frags are generally unmounted and approximately 2 inches in size. Please keep in mind that water chemistry will vary from tank to tank and this WILL affect how your coral responds. Corals usually take a week to acclimate but may need up to 4 weeks to be completely expanded and happy with their new home.

at least his disclaimer covers his butt. What do you bet the pink slowly turns brown?

At least he only got 16 bucks for it!

That is the starting point for a 1-2 inch frag + shipping $15. So $31 for a small Dyed common leather frag that wil die or turn brown.

because I don't have that much time on my hands to waste. Proof? there is no such coral as he is trying to sell. It does not exist.

N_Sarno · #9 05/10/2006, 04:47 PM

maybe its just his lighting or how the picture looks.. I've seen ppl photoshop zoos then they look awesome.. and then when they arrive they say oh well they look like that under my lighting, my guess is that this is the same deal.. People should know what they are buying/bidding on.. so if he/she is bidding.. either they know.. or they are being irresponsible and buying somthing w/ out knowing.. so they deserve it IMO.. kinda harsh but oh well!

graveyardworm · #10 05/10/2006, 06:33 PM

Better closeup pics would help as well.

drouner · #11 05/15/2006, 08:19 PM

Shipping is USPS Priority Mail - 2-3 days delivery.

omni2226 · #12 05/15/2006, 08:25 PM

Buy at a local fish store or a reputable etailer like drfoster/smith, or marinedepotlive etc.

Id rather pay a little more and get viable animals than gamble.

drouner · #15 05/16/2006, 08:49 PM

Ya wonder what the seller would say if he really did not like you!!!

goda · #16 05/16/2006, 10:22 PM

even if he sold the best corals in the world for a penny i wouldent buy from him cause of how he acts when you do have a problom

anyways i think one of the ebayers who were flamed by him should sue him for.. god whats that called . slander
( would have to prove that his comments to the buyers effected the buyers future buys / sells)
still WOW
stick with a real company. or buy from people hwo post on rc

Man, imbuggin
you're giving us Astrophysicists a bad name with the spelling.

It's dyed not died.

IMO Ebay is no place to buy corals.
They are not the best mediators when you have a problem with anything you buy either.

That's a good excuse: "Buyer doesn't know anything."
I'll have to remember that one.
No, those corals weren't dead, you just don't know anything.

At least when I buy from my LFS I get to take it home alive and then it dies.

I was trying to joke as someone stated earlier. The coral is both dyed (for color) and on it way to death. I guess I was the only one who liked my play on word

. BUT for the record thank god for computers because I do not spell well, type fast and don't proof read much on message boards so if you grade my messages in general for english I think my teachers and mother would be very upset.

Either way the point was some scumbag is selling a coral that does not exist and is a total *** claiming to be in the business 20 years.

KING OF THE REEF · #20 05/17/2006, 04:13 PM

i rarelybuy off ebay, and even when i do i would ever buy corals. sadly people are not looking out for each other's best interests

tankslave · #21 05/17/2006, 05:17 PM

Yea, Eugene OR isnt exactly a major channel of imported corals. Looks like a get-rich quick farmer with all those fast growing corals...

A little color never hurts to spice things up...

deansreef · #22 05/17/2006, 05:21 PM

what a loooooser that seller is...
