Birdman,
I agree, with the exception that most statements (ebay descriptions) change with every auction! Their first auction, that I took notice of, stated 'hybrid'. Seems like the very next day their new auction changed it to 'pure', same pics, etc.
Egg pics were not part of the first handful, I think, of auctions.
Then pics, then disclaimer of egg color.
Since the day my babies hatched out looking like this...
I have tried to edify myself as to what is 'acceptable' and what is not...
In all that time I have never, never seen non off-white to varied shades of cream in Cemani eggs. No peach, pink, rose, brown, etc. I see it as straight out false advertising.
Bait and switch.
If I paid for a rare 'first' addition book and cracked it open to find the latest, rewritten version by another author, I would get my money back, right. I would stay protected as a buyer. Fertile hatching egg auctions should be no different. Sellers can always figure out the proper verbiage to protect themselves and we can stay 'whole' by getting pertinent facts/information upfront.
eBay allows a loophole by allowing Sellers to demand feedback on condition of eggs upon delivery and not your hatching. Bah! I could wrap a cow-patty to resemble a Cadbury egg, should I get five star feedback because I packed it well!?
eBay can do better, I think.
