Buying corals on eBay?

[Dr. Peter Venkman]

Does anyone have experience buying from this person on eBay? They seem to have good prices and the corals seem a good size. However, I've never bought from eBay, so I thought I'd ask

I have many times. From Robbies corals and Staub Aqua Farms. They don't rip you off for shipping. Just got some Rasta's, Red Acan, Purple Acans from Staub. Great seller and good stuff in my book.

I bought a Crayola Plana from this guy. I saw it on eBay, but ended up buying from his website because it was cheaper. He responded to my messages quickly. Smooth transaction. Coral came in brown, but was also brown in the pic so the description was accurate at least. Coral is starting to color up. (**edit** was healthy coming in, and is basing and branching after just a few days) Was pest free (I inspect all incoming corals with a video scope).

Don't let the eBay thing sway you. AquaSD and Cornbred and numerous other big names also sell on eBay.

What are you thinking about buying?

Sorry for the late reply. Not sure what i plan to buy, but I've seen a lot of people talk about eBay, so I thought I'd look. I cane across his page and saw he had good prices. Side note, what video scope do you use to look for pests?

This is my scope in action, looking at a White Bug-Infested Acropora:




Here's a different video of a closer shot of White Bugs infesting a Digitata:




Here is the exact scope I use:
