fishguts;2564793; said:i dont know what your talking about but i know people locally who sell on there and do not use photoshop so dont say everyone uses it on there and yes if i bought a fish and it came in and never displayed the colors from the picture your dam right id leave negative feedback and so would alot of other people. if he is photoshopping it and you know him and dont say anything there your part of the problem as well.
I didn't say "everyone", I said "just about everyone" and that meant for FHs on AB. Looks like you aren't too deep into the FH hobby, if you are you'd know what I am talking about the FH sellers on AB. People who buy overseas are just happy for getting the "same" fish as advertised on auction "ALIVE". And again, they already know the color will be less intense than shown in pics.
And what's the "AB ID" of that local seller that you are talking about? There's NO ONE around your PA who sells FH regularly other than Kevin, and he re-uses all pictures taken by rainny,lakefish,ccooler and other sellers who sold him those fish and yes they are highly photoshopped.
