Regular Member number20121 Posted November 14, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 14, 2010 I didn't know they sold goldfish on ebay. I was bored and looked and actually found some. NOT planning on getting a fish at all anytime soon, but I am just wondering, has any of you experience of second hand experience about getting fish over ebay? Also: single tailed ryukin sounds like a cross breed, right? Gotta admit thought that this is a nice looking fish, especially considering the bad photo quality. You know what this fish would look like in a GFC quality photo. http://cgi.ebay.com/6-Single-Tail-Calico-Ryukin-pearls-Goldfish-live-fish-/270660834171?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f04a4937b This fish from a different seller looks pretty good too I think http://cgi.ebay.com/5-6-RED-WHITE-RYUKIN-LIVE-GOLDFISH-KOI-POND-FISH-/320616289238?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aa63853d6 kinda like this one too http://cgi.ebay.com/5-6-HQ-CALICO-RYUKIN-LIVE-GOLDFISH-KOI-POND-FISH-/320616283428?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aa6383d24 These ones are absolutely gorgeous http://cgi.ebay.com/Live-Fish-Chinese-Snow-White-Butterfly-Goldfish-4-RARE-/220695834014?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33627f2d9e http://cgi.ebay.com/Live-Fish-Japanese-SHOW-RW-Ryukin-Butterfly-Goldfish-6-/220696314246?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3362868186 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Sakura Posted November 14, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 14, 2010 I look at the ExoticGoldfish ones all the time! I love the two you singled out. They have a youtube channel you can subscribe to as well. They upload videos of their fish for sale, it's neat to see what they have. I think their prices are a bit steep though compared to other good quality goldfish sellers. The single tailed ryukins are called Tamasaba. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member blackteles Posted November 14, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 14, 2010 I've bought and sold quite a bit through eBay...not fish mind you, but as long as a seller has photos, a good seller's reputation, and you have the PayPal guarantee then it's worth a shot. I found this white butterfly telescope on eBay while searching...good video of it on the auction page and it's a nice, showy butterfly. I'd take it.

Regular Member Cynders Posted November 14, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) I know Mona's koi does them online. It's basically the same as ordering them online anywhere else I would think. Just pay over paypal with paypal or credit card and they ship. That's what Steve and Ken do I believe. However it looks like some of these guys would rip you off on pricing and shipping. Like Sakura said their pricing is a bit steep. And $96 for one day shipping for a 5 inch fish? They must be crazy.

Regular Member number20121 Posted November 14, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 14, 2010 @ Sakura: Thanks! I didn't know that and the seller has them offered as "single tailed Ryukin". @ Dennis: I actually linked that one in my first post Ah, I'd love me some show quality fish someday, but I'm quite happy with my LFS bundle of joy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member blackteles Posted November 14, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 14, 2010 And $96 for one day shipping for a 5 inch fish? They must be crazy. That's where you really have to careful. The seller can entice you into a good starting price but if you don't research the shipping costs you're doomed. Unfortunately some sellers do make their money on inflated shipping costs. And yes Tay, they are insane. :nana :nana 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Cynders Posted November 14, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 14, 2010 When I was looking to sell things on artfire, people prefer to be charged fair shipping than be ripped off in having a cheap item but exorbitant shipping. It's dishonest! But the sad thing is people buy it and don't know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
