Many things sold on recycler are illegal. About a year ago I sold tank full of piranhas to a cop, who told me he was going to set it up at his station. I’d wouldn’t be surprised if someone tried to sell a body part on recycler.

ZEBRA octapuss is what the person listed. Those aren't illegal anywhere... Actually I am not even sure what that is to begin with... ;)

yeah, I dont think a 4mil auction is going to slip by anyone :D May be if you listed at $9.99 and say shipping is 3.5 mil you could get way with it. And you wouldn't have to pay the huge ebay fee :D

Yeah, it's one of those dual name creatures, here it is on this website... Pretty cool looking, but illegal.

How about a Blue ring octopus?

Just got one in at the LFS not for sale tho. b/c they can kill you one of the guys that works there is going to take it. looks freaking awsome tho.

a little off topic but I just thought I would share, also tells me that Australia is exporting more stuff.
