What Do You Think Of This Thing?

I saw this thing on eBay. Supposedly it removes fish from the water without harming them, and replaces our commonly used net. How many of have heard of or have used this? What do you think? I am a little doubtful of this thing as it does not explain how it works or what it is...

Its probably a bottle with the top cut off and turned inside out, I use and it does work with food in it but no use for holding or sick fish as there not hungry.

Sounds like this guy's just looking to make some extra cash. Nowhere does he say that it's just the instructions.

Fish traps are much less stressful because they are always submerged. Tthey don't touch the air. Not only that put trying to cat fish in a tank with lots of liverock or live plants can be VERY stressful for the other fish especially when the fish you're trying to catch hides in those rocks plants that end up being moved all over the place kicking up dirt and bacteria all over the tank. That's how a lot of bacterial infections start.
