Who got it? I missed it entirely. Was it a boy or a girl?

I missed it

the bidding finished while I was on my way home from work. Still, I bid up £120 and someone paid £123 for the zeb so I bid pretty much the most I am prepared to bid for one so I don't feel too bad....according to most people it was a hairy female.

Mac, have you seen the guy from Germany on Ebay? He was advertising up to 50 round about the price you were prepared to pay. I was surprised nobody bid for any. Is there a reason?

Thanks for answering McEve but its not the same person I don't think! This guy is based in Frankfurt, Germany and he prefers paypal - which is refundable.
In any case, I won a bid for 5 for £596. I will keep the forum posted re: delivery and state of fish. The guy claims he has 50 to sell. Ihope this doesn't turn out to be another traumatic experience, I had one back in March and that was enough!

Hi Caesar,

I've no idea what this person is like in Germany but I have heard several stories resulting in people being ripped off from German sellers, so i don't even entertain the idea of buying from Germany now.
Hope this one is legit and all goes well for you.

regards

Have you read his feedback?...only a few comments and one of them is not happy at all.

Like I said hope it all works out for you.

Thanks Mac. Yes thats the one I meant. I read the feedback but I decided to "brave" the negative comment as it was one only. As the payment is with paypal I kinda feel "safe" (as much as one can with all thats happening around). I will keep the forum posted on developments.
