PPE's I am maybe bidding on EBAY

[d.grcich]

Here is the issue. Says they are wild that they have had a couple months. Picture is fuzzy and am just wondering if the colors are going to be bold like the ones I am used to seeing. Are true PPE'S still being found or is everybodys from mainly the same source? Are their immatators? Should I be cautious?

If anybody else plans on bidding on these contact me and maybe we could split. Probably going a few hundred.

Hmmm....do the smaller zoanthids often called 'ppe look alikes' have green slit mouths? Its just that the picture is bad and they don't look very big to me, they could just be young ones. I don't think the smaller zoa variety has the green slit, but I thought I'd ask to see if anyone knows differently.

15 years in the business....you think he'd get a better pic!

I disagree i think they are pretty big polps. Look at the snail shells. IMO they are PPE's Nice price too! The seller is from Sea Life Florida www.sealifeflorida.com I have ordered from him in the past and he is a good guy!

The shells in those pics are the little ones that come in gravel. I think its got to be a PE to have a slit mouth like that...so perhaps they just have growing to do. Like Coralnutz said, don't go too high on a wild frag, good luck!

I agree in business 14 years and this is the best picture of PPE's worth hundreds they could get! That is what made me wonder about the whole deal and unfortunately I have been scammed on ebay before. The thing that reassures me a little is the rest of their auctions have crappy pics too. I am just hopeing they are not a faded out version.
THANKS!

Looks like PPE under 10Ks, good size frag for the price if its WYSIWYG.

Why do people start bidding on things that allready have bids on the item hours before they end? I still have not figured that one out. Very irritating..Hopefully my trump bid with a few seconds left will take it. Wish me luck and thanks for the input. makes me feel like I am making a little more of an informed call!

i have won an auction from that guy for some grandis and they came in perfect-i would go ahead and bid he is trustworthy

 

[d.grcich]

Thanks TyreeUM that makes me feel alot better about throwing fat cash on a fuzzy pic. I will let you guys know if I do win "with better pics".

Offer to split instead of bidding against each other is still there for anyone.

$280 shipped for 10 polps isnt bad

 

[d.grcich]

Right it is a gamble. Unfortunately squeezing a single polyp of PPE's out of you guys is very difficult no offense:violent1:

I say those are PPE, I got a frag from Gflat about a year ago and they took about 6-7 months before they really colored up. They looked just like that at first.....I can say this though Old.Diver is a reputable dealer I have purchased from him before. PPE are actually a Caribbean zoanthid/Paly......

Congrats on your winning....Keep us posted on how they turn out.....
