 Topic: Worst Internet sale EVER!!!
Posted: November 23 2004 at 4:09pm |
Well, I've officially had a bad internet experience. I got some corals from a guy on ReefCentral whos ID is isseym328 (Frags.org ID is James). I bought 4 different Tyree pieces from him. The frags arrived today, packed well. Upon opening the box and inspecting the contents, the frags were all bleached out and 1/16 of an inch in size!!! I spent $280 on these washed out (possibly dead) and teensy weensy frags! OMG - I'm so mad I could scream.  
DON'T BUY FROM THIS GUY!!!

Oh man! That sucks I'm sorry. That is a total bummer ... I dread having
that happen. Especially with such nice frags that your really excited
about. These are not the "Tyree" frags you mentioned in another thread
are they?... You dont think the weather had anything to do w/ it do
you? Its pretty cold. Is the guy being lame about it?
I have a couple of frags coming on Sat. ( I think you know which ones  ) ... Now you've got me all worried.

They were the PM, purple unknow, green toadstool, and the blue/pink prostrata. I didn't see the 20 gallon tank part... That's a red flag if I've ever seen one.
He's giving me TONS of crap - it's my fault you know.
On the bright side, I love America First CU - Stop payment on that check baby!

If anyone else would like to defend my character on that thread, I would appreciate it. I hate having my character assassinated!

Sorry to hear this Sean, I was just reading that thread the other day, I cant believe he took you also, if you need a camera to take some pictures , you are welcome to borrow mine. That guy is a real JERK. He makes it sound like you did something wrong, I'm glad to hear you could stop payment, but that doesnt help the disappointment you must be feeling right now.
I picked up a Granulosa last week, its not The purple monster but I hope it will color up and turn out to be a nice peice.

I think I may take you up on borrowing the camera. I can't believe that I didn't see that thread first. It would of stopped all this crap. Hindsight eh?
