Yep, they're often on Ebay/Aquabid.

Clockwise from top-left, it should be leopard, pink, blue and red. Although the seller, I haven't heard good things about.
 
I purchased some of these a couple of months ago. I think the photos must be color enhanced. What I actually got was some regular red ramshorns, dark purple, dark olive green, and leopard spotted. the leopard spotted ones are cool, darker than the picture but a nice rich brown color, but I wasn't impressed with the other colors.
 
I have the leopard ones that I got free from a LFS and they are really interesting. I had never seen them before these guys.
 
At my LFS the have some of the ramhorns that are really that bright red. They sell them in their feeder snail tank with a mixture of every type of snail I have seen.
 
Here are some of the ones that I got from this seller.

I don't have the green ones anymore. They looked so much like regular brown ones that I accidentally put them in my pond when I was removing brown snails from my tank.

The red and the leopard are pretty close to the seller's picture, but the "lavender" is just a brown snail with a purple foot and the green ones were brown snails with an olive green tinge to the shell.

They've interbred now, so I have some which are dark red with leopard spots and a purple foot.
