Buying Coral On eBay

[Liquid360]

It was fairly recently that I began purchasing coral on eBay. I quickly learned to only buy from the "blue chip" sellers. They know how to ship and guarantee orders. I had been buying straight from higher end seller websites vs eBay, but learned that you could buy the same pieces from the same sellers at BIG TIME lower prices. Yesterday was a perfect example. Lately I've only been buying from Cornbred. This order I won yesterday would've cost me more than quadruple what I paid. It allows me to buy coral I couldn't afford otherwise.
Started this thread because I know many are hesitant to buy this way, but buying there and also buying from fellow forum members here is the way to go. Retail is for suckers [emoji6]

thanks for the tip. Very useful. Didn't know what a "Blue Chip" was.

Thanks

How much of a discount did they give you off the prices?

Well they don't really give a discount since it was by auction, but had I bought each of those pieces from their website instead of on eBay, I would've paid in the neighborhood of around $800.

Congratulations! I love high end corals but not the price tags associated. Good stuff[emoji1303]
