Found this local ad on the Baltimore Craigslist. Looks like the guy is liquidating some nice stock for good prices. For what it's worth:

GORGEOUS! 6-7" Discus -Excellent Color and Healthy! PB/BD/MP/etc Pics!

At least, the picture of the pigeon blood is gorgeous!

I enjoyed meeting you all,

Wow. You weren't kidding. They are beautiful. Now I have two things on my wishlist. Another get out of jail free card and an RODI unit.

A word of warning about this guy in VA. He is a hobbyist with discus and other tank for sale. He posts nearly every day on DC craiglist.

It's been posted on Cl that he buys and sells aquariums, which seems accurate enough.

I've bought many things at auctions and such. I bought a canister filter from him, pre-paid, and as I picked it up, he said it leaks...enough said.

I just throw stuff out as I run across it, but thanks for the augmenting info. I don't know anything about this post-er. It's always good to find out the scoop.

Well, guess that one was a strike-out!

His discus may be ok, in fact that is one of his items that is probably on the level, because I've seen his basement with lots of discus tanks. I believe he did a bait and switch on me, and he was very accomodating about a refund, but... but I don't trust him.
