This chap's not only selling plecs, he has a lot of ads for Discus, Angels, Cichlids ....... name it and he seems to have it.

Makes you wonder. He must have a hell of a lot of fish and a huge holding unit.

Wholesaling through ebay.. interesting tactic..

I suspect an amount of shill bidding too..

I've had communication and dealings with this guy in the past with no issues.:hi:

Been a lot of talk about these threads on fb, almost seems to good to be true!!

But hey if its real then good luck, be interesting to see what you think Daniel!!

10 zebras went for 2k last week. Interestingly the buyer hasn't pd yet!

Apparently they r delivered direct to your door from Singapore!

Allegedly he dosn't have the fish, and has been using other peoples library photo's to advertise certain fish, the pics are not of any fish that will be shipped! even used a couple of shots of Jo's from Rare.

Some of the fish don't match the decription either!

Personally I'll stay away for now!

(all Allegedly of course)!

spoke to him a few times he wants stupid money for buy it now prices £5k for 10x l14 @ 12" when you can pick them up for £100 each else where of a similar size etc.

having said that the auctions have got no reserve so if any come off as an obvious bargin I'll take a risk and report back I can also shift excess stock to my lfs'

All to good to be true, those that have purchased so far have left no feedback. Changed listings now on Ebay to indicate they are coming direct from Sigapore and that no fish are being held in this country (UK).
Only has buy it now prices on discus, why??
As stated before, there is definatley shill biding going on if you take the time to check out who is bidding, (although identities are not shown, if you click on the bidders code you can see the percentage he/she has dealt with this seller.)
My personal opinion ( I could be wrong, forgive me if I am) is steer well clear,
it smells of a SCAM.

Good luck to those that have a punt!

Yeah i'd like to know if anyone does deal with him but my gut feeling is it won't be a happy ending !!! Good luck to those that do and i hope it all works out

As above, but now note more fish listed, but all with buy it now prices, which would idicate that he has been caught shillbiding.
Can anyone shed any light on this guy.
As stated before, I have my suspisions and think this is a scam.
