Is this DOA? (Nems)

[reef lover]

All we can do is start a vendor experience thread...but wont be open to outside comments. But others would be able to view it if they ever searched the sellers name. This time of year im sooo busy i dont think its worth the time to disbute with them about it...my own bad next time i will thoroughly examine the entire pic first....

i can make mine look yellow too..:(
Bad practice all around..

Man, to both of you, i feel terrible for your experience, i'm on the hunt for a yellow anemone myself; and after reading your experiences, i think i will not be buying anything unless i can see it for myself first.

$250 and he charged you $133 for shipping?
You should have nixed it right there, robbed you on shipping alone.
Guy is in Brooklyn NY correct?

 

[reef lover]

Ya i called him out on that he shipped for 80 for me...but we still took it hard...just the nem price alone...

Not the only chump...;)
I should have seen from this part of the pic it was an oversaturated pic...they are nice nems...very bright...but dont appear yellowish at all..and certainly not worth that much...my bad...

I've fallen victim to the same thing with acros a time or two. The clown (I'm assuming it's a clown) in the picture is another clue. I'm learning that some times I can tell if the picture is jacked up.

Wow that is absolutely disgusting practice. There should be a seller review like NR forums has.

Picked mine up from a local reefer for $20 and it looks exactly like yours.


Once mine starts splitting I’ll be giving them away for free just pay shipping.

 

[reef lover]

There is a vendor feedback forum here i just dont know if i want to take the time to call them out on it...

 

[pecan2phat]

Out of curiosity, how do you fellas agree to $80 in-state shipping and $133 out of state?
When I was shipping out CSB anemones 2 years ago, CT to NY was $21 and CT to CA was $55.

 

[reef lover]

Dont agree with it at all...but it was 3 days b4 xmas and fedex was charging out the butt for overnights...
Got any csb now??
And not a fella..;)

 

[pecan2phat]

Sorry about that reef lover :oops:
Unfortunately my CSB days are over, sold off the entire collection back in 2016.

 

[reef lover]

Bummer....some day ill have one...
And no worries;)

This was a fresh cut anemone. I bought some of these from this seller, and they all came in freshly cut. Looks like he just cut them right before he posted them, and then sold them all off. Mine are alive and well, but they were less than an inch big, and both had a fresh cut edge like this.

 

[ech0o]

hehehe how cute its smaller than my fingernail! i won't start a claim, mine will pull through no problem and grow to the size I was expecting them to come in, though the colors are def. no where near the pics.
