Just a heads up, I bought some frags on Ebay over the weekend from someone listed as “h2man2004”. When I sent my paypal payment in, it was sent to Mr. Coral. Then I got an email from Mr. coral today to verify shipping day. Just to double check, I called and sure enough it was answered by Ken at the Mr.Coral store.
Would you have gotten a better discount if you would have bought from his site? I have seen some items on ebay I have thought about picking up. Just wasn’t to sure about doing it through ebay. I have came across to many people on there that don’t pay attention to the details as I do with my 100% feedback
I didn’t look at his site. But the frags are small, probally like his $10 section. The only prob I have with that is you must buy 13 to get free shipping. My own personal opinion, if I had know the auction was Mr.coral, I wouldn’t have bought anything. Don’t mean to flame any of our sponsors, just my opinion.
I got back last night from a trip and found that 1 of the frags from Mr. Coral didn’t make it. I placed the new frags on the bootom of my tank so they would not get too much light right away. The one that didn’t make it was a strawberry lemonade acro that was about 1 inch. The other 2 frags, a superman meteor shower and what was called a bonsai acro are doing ok.
And I did look at his website and they are exactly what he offers in the $10 section. Who knew.
The sellers location on the auction was listed as W. Virginia, so I asked if I could get a better price on the shipping charge of $38 being that Maryland isn’t that far away. So as it turns out, the real location of the seller was the store in Freddricks, which is even closer to me. Go figure
oh bummer about losing the strawberry lemonade. would have been good to have one in the club for future trades. yup, vendors do use more than one venue to sell stuff. the beauty of the internet.
That sucks. hope the other frags atleast make it for you. I have always been skeptical about buying on ebay… I have seen some real nice trach’s for good prices. I think I would rather buy from the lfs then ebay honestly.
