Ebay

[jcolon2]

Hello. I have been attempting to win livestock on Ebay through Reef Empire for a while now. They have beautiful corals (colonies and frags), crocea clams, and occasionally maximas. The bids are fairly cheap. Scolies go for as little as 45 dollars sometimes. Shipping is 25 dollars for all the items; there is no additional fee per item. Would anybody be interested in chipping in for shipping and bidding on some items?

I just won 3 chalice frags from him last week. Third time dealing with him and he's a great seller. Won a watermelon, superman and rainbow from him. They were shipped right away and doing great in my tank so far.

quoted from his fine print

We will not combine items from different eBay accounts.

you would have to buy it all...

 

[jcolon2]

I am going to buy it all. If anyone wants to chip in for shipping, let me know. Assuming prices don't get crazy at the last minute, I am going to bid.

What a sad misrepresentation of this coral. The photo saturation is increased way too much. "Shipping Stress" will cause the color to become dull:biglaugh:

 

[jcolon2]

I wasted my entire day watching these bids. I wait until the last ten seconds to bid. Just as I am about to bid, the bid shoots up from 5 dollars to 30.00 dollars in seconds.

That is very typical for E-Bay. No sense in bidding early, all you're doing is raising the price earlier. Unless it is a piece that nobody at all wants, the price always shoots up at the end.

They are auctioning off colonies. I figure a colony for 30 or 40 bucks is good, especially when it is something like acropora loripes, correct? If so, I am going to give it one more shot.
