Named/LE Corals

I thought about it, but with the rebuild going on, trying not to really buy corals. But yes, I probably would of gone in on that too.

But! You can't claim to hate the game, if you are playing.

Edit: PM me when those are ready to sell! =) new tank should be good by then

Derek I agree 100% with you but how could I pass up getting 4 chalices for $250 - the retail cost from WWC is $2500 for 3 eyes and unknown on a the price of my chalice. You can't tell me you wouldnt do the same if you had the extra cash to do so. My contribution back though will be selling a couple eyes for waaaaay less then those crooks at WWC.

Great, put me down for two.

 

[that0neguy1126]

So even at 50% thats roughly $1200 for 3 eyes. $400 per eye! lets split it Greef, just need 1 more person to go in on.

I see what your saying. However my money didnt go to a retailer (at least I dont think so, im not the one who set it all up) I do believe it went to another reefer. So in my mind I helped support lowering the cost and not paying retail

btw never sniff a dead snail - OMG I feel nauseous now...

No way he got 4 chalices for 250, that tells me we will be dropping a Ben at most.

 

[djkms]

Not yet, I got 1 chalice (well now 2) for $250. Honestly though I would be happy making my money back and maybe a little extra. Not looking to Jason Fox here.

What gets me is I will be at a show selling coral and someone will ask the name of a coral and I say it dosent have one they will move on. But had it had a name I would have sold it lol, I mean they liked it enough to point it out and ask about it then when i say its just a cool coral with great colors and no name they are no longer interested.

See this is one thing that makes me mad. People can just slap names on corals then you made yourself a couple hundred dollars. If you want to name your corals go home and name them. Don't pay a outrageous price for something that has a cool name. Get it if I looks cool that is just my opinion but I think names should have nothing to do with corals as in the super special names. The normal ones are fine but when someone just makes a special one and sells it for a lot that is what makes me mad.

I have seen that for sure Josh. Every show I have been to. I wish the hobby as a whole would just use the scientific name anyway.

Thats the first thing I tell people, then I tell them the nick-name if there is one.

 

[Cake_Boss]

why not make a name up? Like JC's totally awesome red skirt zoa or starship enterprise laser blast explosion zoa or Razzlers, just saying.

Sometimes I'll ask what a coral is but if I like it, I'm buying it. Zoanthids and Palys with names help me determine if I like the colors but that's it. If it's too expensive and I don't like it, I don't buy it. Josh had a coral in his last bunch that he sold the entire colony before I could even ask about it LOL.....It was gorgeous.

I am gearing more toward colonies these days, I will still sell frags but colonies is what I really want to sell

 

[jgonzz]

I have alot of out of state customers so these usally sell fast, I like to give MASC guys the 1st shot but.......

 

[Zooid]

gotta sell them as fast as you can, I don't blame you. The quicker you sell them the less upkeep they take
and if you can sell colonies, that's even better cause you don't have to frag. Can you PM me and let me know
what this one went for?
