What I’ve encountered basically is in most cases the price of the coral on eBay ends up costing more vs the vendor site which is why I suspect bots bidding to Jack up the price ;Bookworm Normally I bid about 20 dollars more as my last price but somehow I get outbidded in the last few seconds. I can’t imagine who would pay more than 50 dollars for a single zoa polyp especially when you can buy the same one the vendors website for 40 dollars with 2 polyps that is why I feel like it’s the vendors themselves bidding or bots as another user suggested or I guess people don’t do research and think they’re getting a great deal lol.
Best bet for eBay is to use a sniping site. That way you can enter in your max bit and they enter it for you with a second left. If the auction goes higher than you are willing to pay you’ll still lose obviously but if not you’ll almost always win. I use ezsniper and have had really good luck with it.
