Working from home or not. Don't use a faulty address that's not yours. I ordered coral before and all the return addresses were homes. What's so different about this guy. makes me wonder.

Did you buy on e-bay or directly from their website? If you bought from ebay you literally bought from someone saying they "have" "cornbread corals" not the actual seller....

My question is if there doing it like that. Why do they need to post a picture of a small frag and a picture of the momma. It should just be the picture of the momma.
If it's not wysiwyg. It should only be the momma lol.
Btw SALTYREEFER earlier said all there listings from cornbreds on eBay are wysiwyg. Thanks for posting this comment that proves him wrong. If he thought that, then I'm not the only one in the boat. Btw am I right about the baby and momma picture trick. Sneaky, Valuable lesson learned. Shouts to everyone doing legitimate business on eBay.

So bottom line....learn from thr OPs mistakes.

Dont buy anything without reading descriptions!!!! ANYTHING!

The guy could easily have been selling his freshly cut off mole.....see it there in the reflection of the glass to my frag tank with the OG bounce?

I’m not going to comment on whether that seller is reputable or not but I’ve definitely learned in this hobby that not everything is exactly how it seems. Also prices for coral aren’t cheap, like at all. Everyone is out to make a good dollar on their initial investments plus collection of coral from the wild has become a lot more strict. I’ve seen that type of mushroom go for sale in many locations including on the marketplace here, and I’d consider the price you paid not too bad. Think of it as an investment and let that thing grow, frag it and sell it to make your money back.

I plan on buying more so I can frag them up and sell dirt cheap. People really shouldn't have to go threw all that trouble.

Make sure you triple check when ordering online. Amazon, E-bay, or who ever will try to generate any sale and will push what they want to sell.

Learn to read

His listings are always listed as WYSIWYG or not.

Btw SALTYREEFER earlier said all there listings from cornbreds on eBay are wysiwyg.
Ok so I need to learn to read. Noted.

YOU state @Saltyreef made the claim "all THEIR listings from cornbreads on eBay are WYSIWYG"

Yet, as Quoted above, he clearly stated " his listings are always listed as WYSIWYG or not"

Finishing a sentence for context is an important part of reading, or so I may learn when I learn to read.

I get that you're upset, go ahead and grow that booger out and try to undercut the market. I'll buy the first cut from you for $20. We'll really show him!
