Canada's Coral Auction House

[Wheelman76]

The pics are horribly photoshopped and sometimes don't even belong to them , even though they state they are wysiwyg pics. Here is a picture of a leprechaun monti that Tracy was selling
You can see that the rest of the photo has been blacked out , which I'm assuming is so that the picture can not be searched for using Google image search to see who the pic belongs to.
This picture clearly belongs to RKLion from GTAquaria, and even shows it in his photobucket account.

When I asked Tracy about the picture because she stated it was a wysiwyg picture , she removed my comments from the post. When I questioned her about why my comments had been removed, I was then banned me from the group. She then sent me a private message on Facebook saying that the picture was hers and wasn't a stolen picture. I sent her the pic from RKLions thread which clearly shows the pic belonged to him and then she went quiet.

I know numerous people that have asked questions , (usually about pics ) and all the comments get deleted and most get banned from the group when they question why their comments were deleted.

Very suspicious activity in this group , if the pictures belong to you and are not grossly photoshopped , then you should have nothing to hide , and no reason to remove people's posts/opinions. There are a handful of people on her group that defend her , which I discovered were all moderators of the group and I would assume friends of hers.

Hi everyone...As some of you know I have a wholesale farming business that for several years has been supplying corals to many of the vendors you have come to love and is now venturing into retail. We have supplied Canada's Coral Auction House with corals. The Montipora picture in question was used with permission after they purchased the coral. Further more they are passionate hobbyists who love reefing

The plot thickens.

Like RKLion already said, they buy from him wholesale and start bids at retail prices in the hopes they can still get more money in the auction(they are not a retail store) they are crooks. Unless the coral has grown exponentially or morphed into something awesome, I don't see why a coral would ever appreciate in value especially if the what you get is smaller then the WYSIWYG photo. They are corals not antique watches, And they are crooks not passionate hobbyists

Hi RK, their passion for the hobby is not being questioned but how they sell is. They have a tendancy of using the same pic over and over again. In many cases this would be considered "false advertising", no? Sure, their pictures are saturated to the extreme but the coral received by the buyer should at least have resemblance in terms of shape etc... There has been many requests for actual pictures of the corals and the admins seems to be able to successfully fail well at this by either deleting the post or simply ignoring it. They have written the rules in how everyone should be conducting themselves, perhaps they should set an example and follow these rules.

This is such BS +! Seems to me they are making fake accounts now. Seems like we need to send a message to RK on the original site haha..

If it was used with permission, why the hell would you black the background like a bunch of rookies??

It really stinks here!! BS BS

Lol take a look at how a lot of wholesalers and vendors take pics. You shoot the coral on a black background so the focus is on the coral. Feel free to contact me on GTAA...Rookies lololol...
