I think this could be our Moron of the Month for Aug.

I hope the fish will hold out the 5 days until the auction is complete. I cant beleive there has been no bids as of yet

Damn you can do all that in just 2 weeks..LOL..what an idiot no wonder he's selling he's trying to sell the fish before they all die his lfs probably told him to piss off when he wanted to take everything back

[Reinhold]

Okay! I was wrong. In this case, name-calling is not only appropriate, but required!

I'm going to buy the tank and have it shipped by USPS standard mail. The ebay guy assured me that all the fish would be fine as long as the mailman doesn't tip over the box.

Hmmmmm, I thought Moron of the Month for Aug was already taken

[ravenmore]

I sent him an email, trying to inform him as to the "error of his ways".

Also, doesn't ebay have rules against selling live animals?????

I will gladly bow out for this guy!

How much do you think to ship from Texas to PA?

[ravenmore]

Well, I got a response back basically telling me to mind my own business. He said it was ok that the tank was only 2 weeks old because he used water from an established 125 gallon tank. He said crushed coral was ok and that the fish were fine and not overcrowded. Anyone else care to take a shot?

Don't forget that I mentioned in my original post that he has more than one "brand new" tank setup for sale. Right now he is running auctions on three different sizes.

In his description of the brand new 29-gal setup he points out that "coral and plants shown in picture are not included but will be available for purchase when you pick up your new tank." My eyesight is not great but the picture seems to show a freshwater tank with driftwood and plastic plants.

Draw your own conclusions.

P.S. - Ravenmore, obviously you're not a member of his target audience: "A REALLY GOOD DEAL FOR SOMEONE THAT DOESNT KNOW HOW TO DO THIS"

I think he should of used a shorter auction time. It doesn't mention anything about the tangs anymore.... Apparently not all doing well.

Some one report him to ebay; it is illeagle to auction off fish on ebay.
