RED HORNETS...small colony! $750.00

[MIG1969]

revhtree..administrator My name is Migdalia aka MIG1969 I feel like I'm in a court here to explain myself for something wrong I did. Firstly, I'm the wife of coralsmania aka wolverine57. My husband name is Johnny and many know who he is once a vendor or sponsor on this forum. Wolverine57 was the name he started with 5-6 yrs ago when he got involved in the forums.

So what is the problem here, I am not allowed to be a member here and sell or buy. Because recently I did buy several chalice here. Did I break any rules in the process? Did I lied or cheat anyone here? I am too in the hobby, as long as my husband been in the hobby.

revhtree, whatever is your name! Since you know my name. You banned my husband, b/c he decided no longer to become a sponsor paying $50-$75 a month. My husband bought more corals, than selling here and anything he sold was used equipment or corals from his private stock. So he or we did not find it reasonable to be a sponsor if he was not making money. But, you did not care you just wanted your commission regardless. Many here sell more, and are not sponsor but you went on a attack mode on my husband and you ****** him off. And you’re not a professional or business person, and mainly you show immaturity by banding to your ego.

Now if you’re planning to ban me also, please have the fact and do not be prejuice or single me or my husband. If you have looked in the business here, my husband got only positive feedbacks from every member he sold to or purchase from.

Have a nice day!

Good times...glad I missed all of this.

I can't believe a vendor or the wife of a previous vendor (whatever the case may be) wouldn't know that those aren't red hornets.

It looks like straight up FRAUD from this side of the computer screen.

Say no more. That post explains itself. From what I gathered Your husband IS a vendor. He was selling here on R2R and decided to stop his vendor status but still sell here. If he got banned by Rev, I say he deserved it. The selling forums are for us hobbyists and are a luxury. If your a vendor and are selling on the site you should pay your sponsor fees and be straight up. Not chalk up as many names as you can so you can act like your just a hobbyist.
Thats not even what this is all about. Your on here for 2 months and have 44 posts and are making a $750 sale with fake red hornets. If you are so ****** at Rev and his site then why are you here? Oh yeah, to make money off us...........

 

[revhtree Verified Admin]

Your husband/you got mad after I would not allow him to sell via R2R when he ceased to want to be a sponsor. Then he cursed me via email.

I just don't want you ripping off our community.

Banned hopefully for the last time.

This is all very interesting. Good read.

I have a few polyps of those fake RHs. They came in on a wild Aussie rock. They have a reddish ring, but are more brown on the disk than purple, and they lack any red in the skirts. I wanna say Scopus or someone on here has posted pics of the same in the zoa forum. The pic from bogilman on MR who MIG said she got hers from looks identical. Nothing special at all, IMO, and I wouldn't pay $1 a polyp for them.

I also find it interesting, in retrospect, that this person is affiliated with coralsmania. I was looking for true Armageddons a while back and posted a WTB. Coralsmania sent me a pm stating he had the real deal for $50/polyp. I said I'd buy a frag, but wanted a pic first. Pic he sent me was of the palys going as Red Galaxy's/Blood Diamonds. I let him know his colony was not the real armageddons, but I liked them and didn't have them at the time and might buy a frag for a more reasonable price. Never heard back. Also saw on MR a while back that he had posted pictures of some sort of AOG paly as Armageddons. This misidentification is all too common though (don't ask me why), so I didn't think much of it.

I honestly believe that these guys could have bought their polyps believing they were the real deal. Some people just have no eye for detail, and if it looks remotely right, they don't question it. I have lots of guys come into the store I work at all the time and say, oh, yeah, I have that paly already, it's great. I later see them and they're only remotely similar. People are still constantly getting ripped off with the African Blue Steel zoas being sold as Blue Hornets. I have a lfs by me selling the blue steel as blue hornets for $50/polyp, but nobody is accusing them of fraud; they're just clueless (maybe a little money-hungry).

They knew better but I appreciate your post. Good points.

To have LFS selling zoa by the polyp is just disturbing. The way it is going soon we will have wholesales selling frags lol.

Unfortunately we already have wholesalers selling frags.

I don't blame them after seeing the markup from LFS. If I was a wholesale business I would be like Wholesale is not where the money is....

well, i left a tank alone for two years and when i came back to a frag game this january i was amazed how much prices fell in LFS...In 2008 any indo colony in manhattan was 300-500..now any assie rainbow is around 150 bucks
