OK everyone, I know all of you are dying to get an update on this soap opera. lol I kindly asked my brother to send a PM about the anthias to see if he was actually busy, or just didn't want to get back to me about the deal we had made for some bizarre reason. Sure enough, he got a reply and was asked if he could pick up the fish soon, so seeing how my brother lives out of town, I offered to pick it up for him. Maybe I could use my deposit to get a discount while I was there.
Called the guy and set up a time later in the day to pick up the fish and he asked me to call him before I left. No problem. So I call close to the time we set up, and the phone was mysteriously hanging up all the time while it was ringing.
I think he realized that I might be picking the fish up for my brother, and that wouldn't be good, because in our deal we had made he had offered the anthias for $30 (without bargaining) and now he was asking $40, plus with my deposit, he would have gotten even less!
So I decided to go over and get my money back, or find out why all this was even happening, because I was not understanding anything. So they send a VERY nice girl to the door and I had told her I was picking up the anthias. In the end, after chatting with someone else in the house several times she had told me the anthias was gone, and they didn't want to sell the mysteri wrasse that he was also going to save for me. So I asked for my money back. Sure enough, they did give it to me.
In the end it was very dissapointing as I was totally excited about the sunburst anthias and mysteri wrasse as both looked great. Would it have been so hard to just tell me what was really going on???
I'm sure Keith is thinking the same thing.....
By the way, the torch coral I bought off them initially is great and they gave me a good deal on it. lol.
