He is no longer a member here, but here is one off Ebay.

The one on that ebay link doesnt look very impressive

Hopefully he fails at picture taking

 

[Al G Blenny]

Yeah I just wrote to that person to ask lineage because it doesn't look much like the Tyree one. It looks like they found a wild colony and they are selling it as Tyree.

I can't tell you if it's real or not, it's just an auction I bumped in to.

 

[slojmn]

Matt, I thought the same thing when I saw the picture, despite poor camera skills or not.

Keep checking the For Sale threads here on RC, they come up every now and again.

Are you asking where can you get a pink or red watermelon LE or a chalice that looks like a watermelon with no traceable linage?Have you found what you are looking for?

 

[pufferperson]

I'd probably prefer the Tyree version. But, the one on eBay is very very nice... a bit out of my budget though.. I wonder how much it will end for.

 

[JOSE CASAS]

Well if it sell for close or near the current bid that thing will be a steal if it has traceable linage.

 

[ghostman]

There are several reputable sellers for the Tyree version that sell in the selling forum. Do yourself a favor and buy from a reputable source with known lineage. I have never seen such a big Tyree watermelon in person, and I doubt that ebay seller has either. Not even close puff.

 

[Al G Blenny]

It doesn't have traceable lineage. The owner said he picked it up at a farmers market and can't verify if it is Tyrees. Oh well. Honestly I don't think it is. No way am I paying $2000 for that.

i have the Reeftec watermelon 2 look just like the one the guy is selling

That's interesting. Selling an unconfirmed Tyree as an original. It's hard to argue what he's getting for it as of right now though.

I wish mine would grow faster.

That Ebay auction Watermelon does not look like the Tyree Original Pink Watermelon to me, or any other Tyree Watermelon (Bazooka, Red, Jayda's). The Pink started with Ron at Reeftec, and every pic I have seen looks vibrant and beautiful.

 

[ViPeR_930]

What a scammer. He did not get it at a farmer's market and it was not labeled as a Tyree watermelon. I've noticed over the months that several of his past sales had false info also.
The seller used to frequent RC but has since been moved on. hmm

 

[Sula]

I'm REALLY suspicious that he is saying "no local pickups" - do you think he's anticipating a disappointed buyer?

 

[SecretAgentMan]

Hey guys, thanks so much for this thread, I was winning that chalice on ebay and also assumed poor picture taking skills. But after what algblenny said I have retracted all my bids on that item, thanks!!!!!!!!!!

That colony...(not frag) looks like the one that was sold several times already...one of which was to a friend that won and could not get it if he did not pay 5k (The aution price was $2500) His response was " what are you going to do? Give me a bad feedback" Buyer beware...............
