If you look at the photos below the photo it says the photo is from R2R sale so if that's where he is selling it then it looks legit.

I'm having flashbacks to the "other" site I used to frequent. [emoji90]
Things are usually unicorns and rainbows around here.
But I'm estatic to see it's allowed when warranted.
On with the show!

One would think if you are selling zoa's and shrooms for a high price you would be able to have a nice camera and lens to take pictures!
For the price of one polyp, you could have yourself a mid level Nikon or Canon....for the price of 4-5 you could have the best camera body available lol.

The price has nothing to do with it. I don’t mind paying $ for high ends. The rule of “just don’t buy it and move on if you don’t see the value” applies here. The point is, there’s something more sinister going on here.

Nah. I have plenty of extremely high end corals but I can't afford to blow $1,000 on a camera. That said, I got very good at taking accurate pictures with the camera I have.

I'm with you I just take pictures with my cell phone and they still turn out pretty great you can see all the detail you need especially if you were selling

If you were ever scammed by any individual especially for a large purchase (and have proof) I would recommend submitting a referral to the state AG's office. Most AG offices have a consumer protection Dept. The government obviously has subpoena power to figure out the scammers identitiy. Especially easy if transaction happened over PayPal. Even if it results in a misdemeanor and no jail time, justice has been served. The scammers personal will be affected.

No transaction was made. The user tried to sell me and others a coral by using google images. When the user didnt have the coral at all!
