fish_fingers Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Hi all, does anyone know what this new shop that is apparently "re-opening" in Auckland and currently selling via Trade Me? The variety of fighters available seems fantastic but he/she is not very forth coming with any shop information and seems selective as to who can buy certain types of fighters e.g. "Super Delta SDT M (females only avilable to selective customers with prior order) Elephant M (females only for above customers) HMs. M (same as above)" Seller goes by the user name "abz1982". Very curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayne Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 looks like a importer to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish_fingers Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 looks like a importer to me Yes he/she does appear to be an imported but I don't understand the conditions/secrets/selectiveness with his/her listing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 I've also been wondering. Not much help if not enough information is given and I would love pictures). I was wondering if maybe it was Aqua Village? which just disappeared from the shop where it was in Onehunga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if maybe it was Aqua Village? which just disappeared from the shop where it was in Onehunga. Possibly Adrienne? I went there in May, while waiting for my cars WOF, the guy in the fishing store said he works from home/garage in Howick. He gave me his card but I have either lost it or thrown in away? I hope it works out and will be nice to see new fighter stock, I still can't get my head about this selective sales Trade Me, this surely isn't allowed? I wonder if he is quarantining his own fish?

Adrienne Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 No its not allowed on tm. If you buy on tm then he is legally required to complete the trade otherwise deserves all the feedback he gets. All I can say is one of the fish that he has sold previously is not what it was sold as. I personally will not buy unless I can see the exact fish I will be getting. I have noted there are several sellers around at the moment, both here and in Christchurch who are not photographing the actual fish that is for sale.

Tsarmina Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 if you notice the answer to his first question, he isn't even in the country at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip, noticed and again against Trade Me rules unless he's in Australia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish_fingers Posted July 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Trade Me don't seem too worried about the listing, I get the impression that they don't really care as long as they get their money/fees. If only Sella was more popular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilobite Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Ive heard very bad things from this seller. Not replying to emails, not sending fish in over night courier etc... and he doesn't seem to know what he is selling, making things up like "veil tail plakats" which look exactly like vt...

fish_fingers Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 That's encouraging....NOT. Yet he's importing them? That makes little if any sense. Over 13 unanswered questions on the Trade Me auction, can't wait to read them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
