A couple of local guys in my area have bought from eBay sellers in the SoCal area and have been happy.

Well,
I am a rookie (make of that what you will).
I live in So. Cal. so I went to their store (the link above) and cherry picked, great guys, very patient and very helpful. Very nice product... it was SO difficult picking the rock, everything looked that good.
If what told me was the truth they move literally tons of rock every week, a lot of that being lfs's, and some of them not all that local.

I bought mine from a guy called MR mArine. It seems the same as the rock i got from Fost and Smith. Actually I think the Ebay rock had more color and more life. They said it was Walt Smith and I believe it. No Aptasia or any pests. Got decent pods and some fan worms on it too.
