I was shopping online for an Eheim auto feeder last Sunday night. It's highly recommended on the site and I need one.
Near the top of my Google search results, which I've apparently grown to trust too much, was an offer by an online retailer for a new, boxed Eheim feeder for the low low low price of $10.99. Shipping included. And to top it off: no tax. And an online retailer I hadn't heard of before; I was impressed they were so high in results given all the mega-retail out here.
I whipped out my credit card, punched in the details, and voila! It's "on the way." SCORE!! Then I started thinking about what I'd done for a deal that seemed too good to be true. Much like that 2001 email I received with a subject line that read something like: "Anna Kournikova I Love You". (((Grrr))) I was a young man, after all. And I clicked a link in that email that I shouldn't have.
The day after buying the $11 feeder I cancelled the credit card I used after seeing that the company's name that transacted the purchase (as I saw in my card's transaction history) was: "Nancy Newquist, LLC". My last name ends in "-quist", BTW. (Hence the handle 'Squist'). Too coincidental. After cancelling the card, I started down the path of contesting the transaction and forcing a refund but I'm still curious and decided to hold-out for a couple weeks first to see if the feeder actually arrives.
So if anyone should see this listing and be tempted, my recommendation is to wait until I report back that I've received the product as described. I'm going to give them a couple weeks.
If you're curious, I've attached pics so you don't have to go to their site.
