I haven't been to this page yet, but I see it everywhere. What am I missing? Anyone got reviews?

Oh boy, where do I start
1. The lies
2. The picture theft
3. The fake WYSIWYG pics

Or the failure to confront their issues

Really? What's up with that?

Those just seem like small oversights. I'm joining.

Can we vote on a picture?
Post and vote?
Saturated or WYSIWYG?

The owners are Philip and Tracy Vandersluis. From experience, I was sold on the picture of the coral. The pics are super saturated to the point where one should probably be using 3D glasses. They didn't bother me so much but when the piece you get is not the same as the pic it bothered me, especially when it's a when I paid $350 for it. The same pic is still being used even after my purchase.
It would also be nice to have some consistency... When we ( yes this is was a group order) spent $2000 we would have thought free shipping was going to be a given but we had to request for it. Now they are offering free shipping on three hundred purchases.
Lastly, when constructive critisism is given you get banned and the thread gets deleted.

That was sort of what I gathered, and decided not to join up. It seems like lots of back room/PM type deals going on, never any details publicly, at least in AL the other pages they spam on.

I joined, sold a Space Invaders Pectinia frag to a guy in Vancouver that's also here on Canreef.

As soon as I posted I got a PM fron Tracy asking me if I was a commercial vendor.

I've not bought anything as the pics look "too good to be true" and the pricing is the same as the LFS so why bother? My experience selling was neutral.

I was told some prices for things from someone else. I bought a whole freakin Border Collie for less money and he loves me more than any frag ever will. That's my opinion on prices -lol
