Auction: DFI 5th Comm of 5 Quality Xbacks!

[DFI]

Dear all,
This may well be one of our best auction offers till date, in terms of Quality, that is. Sizes are all relatively bigger than previous auctions, ie between 14-15 inches, and the only minor imperfections seem to be the slight wavy or wrong angle of the pectoral fins - not very noticeable to most hobbyists.

4 of the 5 fishes has FULL PEARLIES, while 1 have about 50% pearlies. And there are no PLJ, no Shark mouths, no barbel shortages here etc. Thus, their prices will commensurate with their quality, S$900 for a comm of 5 Quality Xbacks (ie only S$180 each fish). The normal market price for Xbacks of these quality are between S$500-700 each.

This auction will end tomorrow, 6th August 9am Singapore local time (0900 hrs). And collection is before or on Sunday, 9th August, 2015, latest. Hobbyists who cannot collect on or before 9th August are therefore advised not to bid for these Xbacks (our apologies indeed).

Hope to receive more support for this Quality Xback Comm.

Bullet Head with full pearlies and Golden brush on tail, aka Pahang Gold.




Bullet Head Sapphire Gold with purple base and full pearlies, too.



Emerald Blue Xback with full pearlies nonetheless.




The only Xback with 50% pearlies, still not too bad.

While viewing this video, you will discover the slight wrong angle of the Pectoral fins, but nothing is too serious. In fact, not very noticeable to most people.

Dear all,
With the auction closing in just 30 minutes, its surprising that there are still no bids for these higher end Xbacks. At S$180, you can only buy a 7-8 inch normal xback at most local LFS ... so this is really puzzling when our fishes are almost all FULL PEARLS and at 14-15 inches.

And we have often been asked this question - do we provide delivery? Yes, but only by our part time driver, at S$50 a trip. But both Fishes and Delivery charge must be 100% pre-paid into our bank account before the actual delivery. Hope this helps.

Still harboring hopes of selling this quality Xback comm.

Hi all,
Appreciate all bidders'support, albeit all come in at the last minute, phew!

And Noby is the obvious winner of this auction, thanks for heeding my advice that if you really like a certain comm, go for it as all these Xbacks are priced well below the market rate ...

We will be in touch shortly, Noby.

Thanks to all again.
Mrs Goh
