Sickest pickup this guy's ever had.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Is this a person some of us here deal with? No I am not starting anything but I feel people on here should know what they may be getting into if they buy a ray from this individual.
Very sorry for the loss.

That is the worst possible outcome imaginable....
 
Wow, looks awful. No way that happened in such a short amount of time...

Can you do a CC dispute or something? I guess it's subjective from their standpoint.
 
Ah man! That poor thing never had a chance :( fungi, infections and god knows what else, people that treat any animals like this should be arrested, its still animal cruelty even if it is "just a fish"

I am just in shock..... I am so sorry to you and to that ray. Please let us know this seller and shipper so they can be avoided in future.

This was one of 4 Marbles kept in a 125.

I was given a my dad is sick and I need the money story, followed by a need money for doctor bills story. I told him I'd help him rehome the rays. Took a month, but I did some saving and scrounged up enough for the female. I contacted some other people and together me and another guy bought the group in an attempt to help him and the rays both.

The group was delievered Sunday night to the buyer of the other 3, the seller was paid for the 3 I wasn't getting, and shortly after departing the buyer of the other 3 noticed 1 ray was blind. He called the seller and the seller never answered. To my knowledge there has been no contact between them. I know another attempt to contact was made yesterday. No answer. I sent pics to the seller and never heard anything from the seller. I disputed my claim with paypal and the seller responded quickly saying he was only responsable for delivering the rays to the shipper (also the buyer of the other 3) and they were fine when he dropped off. There's no way the rays were even properly purged, as I had a bag full of fecies, along with the disc chunks.

The claim will be decided by Paypal.

I didn't make this thread to air dirty laundry or point fingers.... It was made so we all realize the value that should be placed on the trust a buyer NEEDS to have with a seller. IF you don't trust they'll do the right thing in a worse case scenario DON'T DO THE DEAL.

Also let this be a lesson about what happens when you don't properly plan for a long trip with rays in the car. I've always used 12V water and air pumps, prime, and always take water with. Always use the pumps, and if it's gonna be 3+ hours in that tote they get waterchanges.......

Not sure about other people's practices but maybe we could all benefit by sharing our transporting techniques.
 
So it was drove 6 hrs then shipped? How long in transit total? Why 6 rays in one tote?

Total bummer very sorry

6+ hours to shipper, arrived Sunday night. Shipper held till shipped out Tues morning.

Only 4 rays in one tote..... Why? I have NO idea. I'm not sure I've EVER transported 2 rays in 1 tote.
