In that thread, Ed stated the following "Granites have been proven over and over to be geneticly reproducible."

I'm also the last guy in the world who will complain about a seller selling their product for any cost they deem appropriate; high or low if they are honest in their advertisement and practices. These animals Ed is advertising seem to have a substantial markup over what could be considered a market average. When coupled with the misleading terms that indicate a genotype he can not possibly verify, it *seems* like an attempt to scam an unsuspecting or less than knowledgeable buyer out of some extra cash.

Just reitterating those two sections since it seems they were overlooked by a few people.
Ed is the guy who posted that granite was a genetic morph,
in that thread, it was only hours later when pushed that he changed his stance to note that his specific animals were completely unproven.
Additionally, selling high- selling low, selling at a perfect average of every other dealer on the planet... I do not care
if the seller is honest in their representation of the stock which Ed was not. He has made mutually exclusive statements about the animals, only acknowledging the problems after the thread was locked, at which point he opened a locked thread and edited his posts to make it look as if he never made certain statements. That is not honest behavior.
