    So I know someone just asked about another site, but it made me wonder about a different one I had come across the other day. It is called Auction Reef and I asked them some questions through email but they never responded. Before you can bid you have to give them your credit card information and it seems kind of sketchy, but really great prices and only 7 dollars shipping!! Anyone heard anything about them or had experience? I asked them if I could use paypal instead of my credit card info and no response... seems like some people are definitely bidding but a little scared... :-/

    Personally, I wouldn't give my credit card information out beforehand. That seems weird. But I don't know anything about that site.

    Hey give ME your credit card # , expiration and the 3 digit cvc code and I'll send you a complete reef set up FREE!

    LOL no I'm really just joking. I'd be very leary of any online company that wants access to my money before I even make a choice. I say even if the prices are awesome it's just not worth the risk.

    I saw that site last week and they don't even say how much shipping will be or have any contact info. I tried several of their links and come up with blank pages so I'd say it's not legit.
    I registered thinking I'd bid because I saw the $7 shipping then after I registered it was no longer up on the opening page. The so called bidders could just be fake.
    So I'm not going to trust them if they can't even provide real contact info and such or actual info on their site for customers.

    Registering didn't require credit card info or I wouldn't have....and was only after registering I looked at the site more.

    well if they finally email me back i will let you guys know... if i can use paypal i will do it for sure but i doubt they will ever email me back! one of the sponsors on here said they had partnered with them which is how i found them in the first place... i might try contacting them also!
