i can't recall-- sorry, creetin. he contacted me about selling some of my alien eyes and proceeded to tell me that he could get them for 4 bucks per polyp or something but that he would much rather buy from me-- in california. lol. i told him that 4 bucks is a steal and that he should get on it and asked him where he bought the zoas from and he stated from mr.com. i do recall him having a sale thread up there at the same time he started his first sale thread over at n-r.com.
i'll see if i can find his sn on mr.com.

Ryan is...
Tangey on Reef Central
reefer14 on zoosrus
angelman23 on nano-reef
zooman55 on michiganreefers
He's been on other boards too so if you have info this would be good...
FYI this was the full package I sent... sad to see so many nice zoos go to someone like this... the safecrackers were marked up like 300% of the price I sold at and paid for his whole package. Again this was just the slimey part to do this within a week... the DOA claim and lieing was what really set me off... I put alot of work into these frags and sell well below market value. It's okay if you resell, but don't claim hard work you put into frags when it wasn't your hard work...
Anyway... you local guys there let us know if there are any updates...

Add to the list reefer13 on Reef Frontiers, where he tried to sell the same polyps in this thread...
Here's a quote from our buddy in that thread regarding the PPE frag he said was DOA that I had sent him less than a week before he posted it for sale... "I wanted a long time to get my hands on them and they finally grew out into a decent colony. Heres a picture of a two polyp frag I made."
Thanks for the support Laurie. Those who have ordered from me know... and I often call about how the frags arrived and end up talking on the phone for a while... recently with a lobsterman (hey Charlie!) in Maine! I spoke with Marty in Alaska, who I sent a full box of sps too including the original Superman last year before all of these wild colonies came in. He was well in with the small reef community up there and believed it was the first superman in Alaska! Charlie, are those the first original safecrackers in Maine? Probably not, but things like this are cool, and it's great to hear from satisfied people as these wonderful corals get spread around the US to people who appreciate them!

Funny thing is I just noticed he was on Michigan Reefers again today. So this person is very aware that people know what kind of person he is . So I am guessing he will change his user name very soon on the boards

Being a premium member here at RC you're able to see when your PMs are read. I PMed him moments after noticing this and he checked it within an hour or so (this was last Thursday)... of course no response since and he hasn't posted on any board either.
Hopefully the boards could track him though his IP. The simplest thing is to do a quick search on a username and check reputations and feedback...

Is there a feedback system on RC that I can check before buying from people? I would only want to buy from people who further the hobby, not scam it.... It defeats the purpose of feeling happy when you watch them grow to know they came from a slimeball who was being ugly to people I like.

Keep in mind it is only good if someone has posted about a seller/buyer.
