Has anyone purchased from Coral Collection?

[Mr_Knightley]

Hey yall! I have been searching for some high end LTA's and found the website CoralCollection.com had some. Reviews of the vendor range from calling them a scammer to praising their good work, and I'm not sure which are real and which are fake.
So far, the website seems well put together. But the vendor (coral collection) is actually an LFS in southern california.
The only reviews I've seen are from around 2016, so if anyone has had any recent experiences with them, that would be awesome!
Thank you and God bless!

(ps, I couldn't find the vendor feedback forum so I'm posting this in the lounge for now.)
Here's a link to the site:

I used to work there a few years ago. They were a really good LFS and had some really sick pieces but they went out of business a few years ago. As of now I don't think you can buy coral from them (you can they just wont send you anything based on what I have heard). Like I said they were a pretty good place to get high end pieces but I wouldn't order anything because I don't think you'll get what you paid for.

Good to know, thanks!

The store closed down few years ago. As for the online store, I wouldn’t buy off the site, because you might not get it. I would email them first to see if they will reply.

So did you find out about the online sales? Will they just take your money and not send anything? I just spent a great deal of time on the website about to check out and came across their FB page that was abandoned in 2016. Why would they not shut down the website if they are out of business?
