What the the names of these

What the the names of these

Not sure the bottoms but the tops are fairy dust. Does the name really matter? I don't get why the name game can really raise a price. Here's my rant.... Before all this WWC and Disney stuff, you could get really nice coral for a good price. Now, you get a 1/2" nub for a few hundred dollars. Not liking the way the hobby is going. Sorry for the rant. I could name them for you but it might raise the price. Lol, kidding.

I'm not interested in buying any but I like what you are doing man. People that pay $1400 for a 14 head frag of reverse krak are the ones raising the prices for everyone else. The only ones who get to enjoy the hobby are the ones who make a ton of money. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. So thank you for offering these frags at $5pp.

I think the equipment is bad enough. There are so many corals that are aquacultured now that there is no need to overcharge. I understand overhead, but man these stores are buying maricultured pieces then hacking them up and giving them crazy names. I appreciate you recognizing that I'm trying to hook people up.

 

[Pola0502ds]

Half the problem is all these stores and vendors taking advantage of people willing to pay these prices and the other half is that the same people or some of have to mark their prices up because their sources know they can charge more so they do.

I was excited to get in this hobby and i do love it. But it bothers me to know end that i cant expand my collection because 30-40 bucks gets you a single head of something.

 

[nex64]

$20 pp is my limit. Couldn't agree with what is said above

If the market wasn't there for these pieces, they wouldn't be selling them. People will pay what they are willing to pay. Some can afford more than others.

I enjoy this hobby very much and I don't pay a lot for my corals. Name a frag and the price goes way up. If you think this is wrong, show the seller by not buying their products. The wonderful thing about this country is that the capitalist system rules and it works. There is no taking advantage of someone who is willing to pay for something as long as the product is not misrepresented. No one is forcing them to buy anything. The foolish stay poor while the wise and disciplined become rich!

Im sorry mike but I don't really feel that post furthered or added to this conversation at all. These guys are simply pointing out the simple truth no one is saying its not understandable we all obviously understand it. It is just mind boggling the way things go and the face that people pay high end prices for things that really shouldn't have the high price tag. Example you could buy raspberry palys (or some name like that) for pretty cheap a while back. Then the were called CB armor of the gods all of a sudden and the price shot up. It just makes it more difficult to get a hold of things once they get a name like WWC or CB attached to it.

Anyway I agree if you can make money off the people willing to pay stupid high prices do it up. But I agree so much more with the theory of a fair price for the average reefer to reefer trades and sales.

P.s.The foolish stay poor while the wise and disciplined become rich!
Don't really think this makes much of a point here. They aren't trying to get rich off this hobby they are just trying to enjoy it. I think a more accurate statement or quote for those out there willing to pay $1000s for a frag of something is "A fool and his money will quickly be parted"

 

[Pola0502ds]

Im sorry man, your thread took a wrong turn. I hope you sell all those frags. They are great prices.

 

[FLAdaboy]

I think this thread has been high jacked. I do have some offers but no payments yet. First people to put some cheddar down are getting some nice pieces as well as a freebie. I have a few items not listed. The more you buy will depend on what your freebie is.

 

[LLTooSweet]

The first ones looks pretty cool! I don't think you sent me any of those on the last pack I got from ya. But I can say the ones you sent me were great! Plus they all are healthy and started popping new polyps within a week after I got them. A+ seller!

 

[FLAdaboy]

@LLTooSweet, thanks. I'm glad you're satisfied with your coral. Let me know if you're looking for more. I've got a few things I need to get rid of.

 

[fin mike]

A thousand pardons. Didn't mean to hijack the thread. You are very generous for selling your inverts at a low price. Good luck sir!

 

[Triggreef]

Did i miss something? These are all pretty standard fare at $5 pet polyp. The guys not selling kraks or stratosphere polyps for $5 each. I have scrambled eggs i can't even get $4 a polyp for.

In all parts of life there is someone who gets a high price tag from people and others who charge fair prices. Knowing when it's worth it and when it's not is all part of the game.
