Its rare, but sometimes I purchase a dud on eBay.
The fiber optics from me80 Wholesale FIber Optics, they are a mega dud!
The product is a .75mm fiber optic that has been dipped in paint. The colors do not resemble what is advertised on the ebay site. They fiber optics are not vibrant and uniform, but dull and splotchy.
Save yourself $10.99 USD and don’t buy this.

If you want vibrant colored fiber optics try the Fluorescent Fiber from Fiber Optic Products. This is a quality product with vibrant colors. More photos of these neon fiber topics on my 7 May 2013 blog post.
