flaming mohican vs krakatoa

[tuna_bullet]

for those of you who think the karkatoa is a one time thing you are smoking krak rudy is just slowing releasing the polyps and thereby artificially inflating the price

how many can you count on these pics from golden basket?

and notice they are differnet rocks too he probably has 10 more rocks full of them haha

like its been said before rudy isnt a dummy just smart in marketing

i wish i had that much KRak

I was not trying to imply that GB had a lot of Krakatoa that he was holding back. I was simply trying to show the effect of hype on the price of Darth maul morphs that are obviously more abundant than people want us to believe. Here's the link. Zoa prices getting crazy!?

I apologize if my post offended anyone as it was not my intention.

That thread is talking about the Flaming Mohican that was up on eBay for $350.

That paly isn't Flaming Mohican. Emperor zoas r DM morph, but flaming Mohicans aren't.

The thread was talking about that paly in the op. The post from gb referenced this thread saying that this thread is causing the hype over these Darth maul morphs driving up the prices. That is why I posted it.

I got it. But the fact is GB himself has Emperor Zoas that are DM morph and the initial auction went crazy as people thought Emperor Zoas were somehow flaming Mohicans. Therefore, I am not sure why GB would make that kind of comment as he himself is the king of hype lol

Rudy definitely DIDN'T create a thread on R2R creating hype for a polyp he was selling. I think people bought the Emperor Zoa hoping that it was going to be crazy popular like the Krak. I don't think Rudy would have a problem saying that both the Emperor and the Mohican were DM morphs.

If both are DM morphs why would it matter if it was an emperor or a Mohican? The only hype I see is from this thread no where else.

The Mohican is a dm morph according to everyone that is not trying to gouge on the price. It was a renamed maricultured dm morph and it still is.

I have browsed through the site, a few days prior the same person also posting that supposedly a darth maul morph to have green skirt much like flaming mochican and krakatoa,
so he has been asking if his more similar to flamming mochican or more similar to krakatoa

Dearth maul starting to get a hint of green reminds me of Krakatoa - Page 5

GB commented that it is a darth maul morph because it is started as dm.

gb emperor seems to be different than flamming mochican and krakatoa, and no such mention that the emperor as those two famous zoa, even on auction gb specifically stated green skirt maul morph.

hermes if you so uptight with gb comment on the other site, does it mean that you really try to cash in...I think you may just open up your card...

+1, I think so too

I know for a fact that Rudy does not have 15 rocks of these... I respect everyone here but it is kind of harsh to start saying things and making accusations about someone that is not even a member to this forum. The second and third picture are of the same rock. Looks like they were trying to prove that the color is true and not only the bright colors under leds or photoshop. The first picture was the original colony that mostly melted. When you start showing pictures from other forums you should really explain what the thread was about where the pictures came from. All you you are doing by posting pictures with out explaining where they came from is causing more controversy than there already is. Another thing, as collectors, do you ever sell off entire colonies with out keeping some for yourself and grow them out again???

These have been out for a while now and I am pretty sure they are growing them. I have grown many but have lost some too... Not to say that there are thousands out there like hallucinations, bowsers and shazaams. There are probably a few more but also you need to take into consideration about the ones that were sold and died and the ones that melted while fragging.... I have heard of a couple of these cases. Right after everyone was starting to warm up to the fact that the Krakatoa is a $500-$600 polyp, that auction set a new record and this whole **** storm is going to start up all over again...LOL

Duke. I will go with the fact that the 2 pics are the same. But those 2 pics also proves he got more than one rock of them. He got at least 2 rocks in. Because the rocks in the pics are aquaculture colony rocks With a whole bunch of polyps

He is a businessman not a hobbyist. His goal is to make money. And I can guarantee you he is holding back on how many he has. Because that is the best business decision. IMO. It's not shady or wrong. It's business. He didn't set the high price in these. The market did. He would be stupid to release more at a time because it will drive down the price. He has a limited time frame to make good chunks of money before the other people who bought them can start cashing in. I bet you that when the price drops to around $100 on the krak. You will see him posting them weekly

Oh boy, the Mohican must have set your pants on fire lol

Once again! The first pic is the original rock that contained all and the second pic is the rock that was shipped to the US. The only (original colony in the first pic) was the only one and split into 3!

Many r2r member should be close proximity to gb, it would be great if one of us here could visit them and do actual head count to be official, if a lot of krakatoa gb holding it will be a bust otherwise the price will be even more crazy when the count only a few heads. I wonder when I am going to even get one....

Have to agree with this Turbo. More krac out there than the people who already have them want to believe.

Rumor has it when you sell the flaming you tell people not to bash you... they probably are both DM morphs but you as a business man just like rudy wont admit to it. where did you get the original flamings from your just a joeshmoe, I highly doubt you payed divers, or had it imported.
