Cornbred stands behind what he sells. If you have a problem just co tact him. Yes I’ve ordered multiple times from him, if you want different sometimes you must pay.

Does it really help to use a sniper when he sets all of his prices for the corals you want?

pls elaborate on what you mean by "using a sniper" on ebay?
He's using an app to put his bid in 1-3 seconds usually before the end of the auction. You can still be outbid by someone else. Its safer to stay on top of bidding by doing it yourself right before the auction ends at a high price, usually this works.

Of course you can get the stuff that's been out for awhile at a cheaper price, people are after his new pieces with the color.

In my case I go after the ones that grab my attention, usually they're set high to buy it now. If I really want it I go for it. There have been a few once gone you don't see them anymore.

True but MOST of the time you can get them very very cheap

I purchased two different fingernail size frags of what he called a welso-scoly hybrid. I remember the original photo definitely looked like a cross. I'm calling it scoly at this point. At the time they were high priced but definitely different. Years later still growing, I cut one into three sections with a scalpel, doing great. Moral of this story is I'm glad I paid that high price for those two little fingernail pieces. That coral was gone after he sold the few pieces off. And yes, they had the same colors as his photo, for those that are wondering.

what does this mean useing a sniper ??
A bot or automated program that automatically bids x amount on something you want up to your max bid. Also can be set to do incremental bids so you don’t miss out
