Golden Basket just posted a exotic green rim tri color chalice. I'm sure is a frag of the Enchanted chalice they posted about 2 months ago, that sold. Can any one els confirm this is the same chalice? I have bid on corals from and lost only to have them relisted later on. This has happened more than once. Inside bidding?

If you look close at the picture you will see its a piece of the original colony. He is a very honest guy and has been in business for over 25 years.

It's a large piece of the original colony up for bid. I thought some one won the whole colony?

Usually he gets in very large pieces and then sells large frags which look like colonies, and they are. But he usually keeps a piece I believe.

they look big but when I've had them come in they are frags that have healed over and usually pretty small

If you are interested in it, why would you post it on the forum for everyone to bid on it? You're just driving the price up.

This is not about bidding. Does any one have a pic of original coral to compare to the frag, You can see from the eyes of the frag it's off the one that has already been won. I just wanted to see if anyone else noticed this.

Talked to the owner of Golden Basket and was informed that was the piece from the first auction. The guy that won it ended up bleaching it under Leds and raised a stink so he refunded the money and got it back and let it color backup and now is back up for sale.

How many people would refund over a thousand dollars for someone that picked the wrong spot in their tank? I would say he is honest and more than fair!

I'm moving this to Vendor Feedback. I've purchased from Golden Baskets numerous times and spoke with him on a regular basis. From all of my dealings and from mutual friends, I'm of the opinion that he runs a very legitimate and ethical business.

I have always gotten nice things from Rudy. Anything that didn't make it (Extremely few) immediately he refunded the purchase amount. Any questions about an item, he responds back quickly.
