Platinum on Ebay?

[Drizzt]

Looked up "polypterus" on ebay and saw this http://cgi.ebay.com/BABY-ALBINO-POL...781?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27baad479d

The pic is of a couple of platinums right? I emailed the seller for a pic of the actual fish, but they haven't gotten back to me.

This is their reply the first time I asked if it was a platinum.
"THIS IS U CAN CALL PLATINUM..!! COZ THE COLOR...!!

They post on ebay all the time... I have emailed them several times, and asked for pics, and they NEVER get back to me.

Chances are, they aren't going to be plats.

I was pretty skeptical, but I thought I'd post just to see if anybody had any experience with them. That price is too good to be true.

I agree a good price

$40 from platinum is just BS

I would always be careful of ebay, there are great deals but also scam artists. Just be careful.

Its safe to assume that a commercial internet seller knows the market price. Dont expect a platinum endichiri as shown in the picture.

I'll bet you get a albino senagalus if you buy.
