LOL Kelly. I'm not sure being a female is advantageous or not... though it does have its perks
Truth is, you never know so you need to read reviews and take other people's experiences with a vendor into consideration. I try to choose vendors or "fraggers" very carefully; only doing business with the ones that are recommended by others.
"Window shop' online and at local fish stores so you know what certain corals are going for. Once you are familiar with the 'normal price' of things, you become more comfortable making a purchase decision.
Good luck! And don't beleive everything you hear
