I don't get the BFD
She has ZERO feedback and signed up on 10/31 Lil' suspicious no?
Uhm, happy bidding I guess.....good luck (in many capacities) if you're bidding

Luckily many people know her, her user ID is the same as her username on many forums. I have personally seen the Sopranos in her tank and they are true. I'm not sure if she has any feedback but I do know many people that have bought from her and her husband. She is mainly on Reef Discussion, Reef2Reef, and Reef Central.

thats kinda strange....

most people that buy on ebay are looking for 99.9% feedback or higher...
Suspicious IMO...
OPs post is also a little Suspicious

Gotta start at some point right? If nobody bought anything from anyone with 0 feedback there would never be any sales. lol
Personally, I'm gonna bid. But then again, I'm a sucker.

If you want dendros, I have them for $25 a polyp. Don't need to spend so much.

C'mon John. don't you have some extremely rare and valuable macroalgae for sale?
Didn't you get in off an island in the Bermuda Triangle that only scalawags and scurvy dog pirates can find, with a special map that can only be read by the light of a blue moon? And that anyone who possesses this macroalgae will immediately have their lovelife improve and be able to pick the winning numbers at the powerball lottery?
Ya just got to have a vivid imagination John. And some royal blue led illumination. I've got some very run of the mill Padunkadunk (or whatever) zoanthids that fluoresce like the picture above under blue led's.
I just hope the people buying those things for that price are rich, and not stealing their kids school lunch money to get them.

If you don't like them then don't bid. Who cares if they are 15 grand a polyp GTFO of this guys thread and quit bashing him for trying to help somebody out that is looking for these.

i thought it was funny, tangs and rudders eat it up in the wild too so it was fitting. (mostly rudders, the tangs head out in the winter to deeper water for the most part) I see a bit of it in the winter, but only took a few drift specimens because I don't want to feel bad about it. I will refrain from giving out the name of it though, because the scientific literature gives away the spot.

I saw on another forum that she posted about the auction. I guess she started it a $.99 and it just took of from there. I dont like when people charge some astronomical price for stuff like this so they can say "im cool i have this rare expensive coral i sold for 10000 dollars". But that doesnt seem to be the case, i guess the bidders are just that psyched about getting it. And hopefully they spread the wealth instead of selling a polyp at a time for a crazy price. We should all help eachother out in this hobby, things are tough as it is. Aquaculture is the way to go.
But i wouldnt spend that much personally, unless it ate all traces of nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, phosphates, and it pooped gold bricks.
