Cherry Corals live sale or website order?

Fishninja · Dec 24, 2016

I am going to drop some money on some corals (specificcally euphyllia) and am thinking of participating in the cherry coral Christmas live sale. However cherry corals website has amazing looking euphyllia packs for sale and I don't know if it makes more sense to just do the live sale or just get the packs on the website. Here are the packs on the websit:

They put on a great live sale and I would honestly participate in the sale before purchasing a pack. You will have fun especially when you win stuff.

I would like to participate in the live sale I am just unsure if I will find pieces of euphylia as nice as those.

Jd120988 · Dec 25, 2016

They have beautiful pieces just like those. Heres a link to there most recent live sale, browse through it and u can see what the prices are like and examples of what u may see in the next sale. I think you will like the sale prices they are very good.

I have never done a live sale before so I don't know what to expect. Do you usually end up getting the corals you want in the sales or do you only end up with a few?

Depends on 2 things, how deep your pockets are like everything else in the hobby and how quick you can check out. Fortunately if you have an account with cherry corals signed in and have paypal with payment method saved and on one touch the checkout process is lightning fast. My favorite live sale I participated in was cherry corals I landed 14 coral frags and all are doing wonderfully in fact my avatar is my rhodactis shroom I purchased from the last live sale. I would say watch the sale as it progresses and jump in at any time. I did the last one while at work and won 9 corals on the clock.

don't tell my boss lol.

Would I be better off doing the live sale on my phone or on a computer?

Jd120988 · Dec 25, 2016

Most people do it from the computer I honestly never tried it on a computer and always win stuff so I never bothered. I would imagine the computer being way faster but I never had a problem and others have had great success on phones. It's all about constantly refreshing and fastest checkouts.

Oh and the people that hang around are quite funny to chat with so helps pass the time.

Lol how long are they usually from start to finish?

Jd120988 · Dec 25, 2016

This one is 14 hrs 2-2 so plenty of time to pop in and out that's usually what I do. Many people stick around the whole time but I participate from work normally on breaks and such and it's always a blast. I think you should really check it out for yourself if your not having success then maybe grab a pack from the website. You've got nothing to lose.

This is probably a dumb question but what does 2-2 mean?

Plus, Todd & Brett have a Ton of stuff that's not listed on their site at any given time. I'm lucky to be local. But they are very receptive to an email and I'm sure they would put a pack together if you didn't get what you wanted on the live sale.
