Honestly, I was hoping the majority of us were going to start holding the rest accountable for their actions, but I appear to be the only one willing to publicly name someone.

This thread has done nothing but make me a target for the one I called out. He still has the ability at any time to chime in and clear the air ... but it's been over 2 weeks since I was left waiting around, so I doubt it.

Hell, I'd even still entertain a visit if he'd come out and apologize. Maybe we'd become friends such as the many others I've met here over the years.
I have a list of names/numbers over 180 strong of all the members I've dealt with since joining Canreef.

Anyway, whine away people ... at least I tried to do something about it.

I've honestly never had a problem with any Canreef member I've sold something to. Everyone has been super decent.

That being said.... I am aware of a list... just not sure if anyone has the cajonas to publish it.

Well i just want to chime in as a warning to canreefers, if you make a deal to buy frags have the seller send you pictures of the frags not the colony they are from! I drove an hour out to meet a guy after setting up a buying of 4 "high end" sps frags. It took a while to get the deal done, took an hour to drive to the meeting place, he was 45 minutes late so I was already in a mood when he showed up and I couldn't believe the frags he brought!

He promised an inch of this coral, a multi branch 2 inches of this other coral, what he brought was 4 bags of tiny nubs, not one was what he said he's bring.

I was ****ed but I was so tired of this deal I just bought them and left...lol

2 lived, 2 were dead in a couple of days as they were fresh cut nibs in crazy glue on a plug.

That was my worst deal on canreef and I decided to take a hiatus of buying from unknown sellers since then.

Sorry rant over, I've also had some nice coral from a bunch of you...

No apology needed.....Please name that seller so maybe he can reply and work something out for you.

I'm with Greg here; I believe people using Canreef to trade owe each other the courtesy of being honest, honouring commitments, and being on time. This applies to both sellers and buyers. I have had some horrific experiences too, dozens of no-shows, etc. I do believe we should name names. Ebay has a rating system, Amazon rates vendors, perhaps Canreef should too?...

You didn't have to buy the frags from him.

If you give him a bad rating for not selling what you wanted, whats to stop him from giving you a bad rating for expecting too much. If you didn't buy the corals (which is your prerogative) whats to stop him from giving you a bad rating for not buying his corals after he made cuttings and drove out to meet you. Either way nothing is really served to the reefing community by allowing us to name names. This kind of thing can get ugly real fast.

Did you contact him afterwards to let him know the corals didn't survive and give him an opportunity to fix the problem or at least offer you a discount on replacements?

The best option is not to buy any more corals from him and tell your friends. But not on an open forum.
