Pricey Corals, what would you pay? - Page 2

I'm moving 15 minutes from Mr. Corals store YIPPEE, lol

 

I am not an expensive fish/coral person...

 

My philosophy is if you love and are willing to pay the asking price then buy it.. if you think its overpriced then ask for a lower price...

Especially if its a piece the store has grown out or fragged itself...

Can't quite bring myself to pay over $100 on any piece of coral... yet. The most expensive coral I've bought was a big colorful Wellso Brain that I fell in love with, which cost me $56 and I'm tempted to buy a nice sized and well shaped Christmas Favia that currently sitting in my LFS for $79... but if some one else gets it I'm not losing any sleep over it!

I could spens up too $125 on a polyp, and $100 on some SPS. As far as chalices go though. I would do $300.

Have you seen sexycorals or jayson fox's website? That treasure chest cornbred is insnae for $100. And that koolaid is sweet too.

I have quite a few expensive pieces. You just get to that point in this hobby where you own all the basic things. Luckily there are a lot of local reefers in my area so we trade pieces which significantly cuts down the cost. If I had to pay full price for all my pieces, I'd be broke!

Agreed, a local guy got me a 2 eye frag of an oregon mummy eye chalice for $50. And that is one of my brightest pieces

That's a lot!

When I trade/buy privately, I won't pay that kind of money. For example, I recently bought healthy size frags of Setosa, Pink Lemonade, Rainbow Monti, Sunset Monti all for $50.

The most expensive piece in my tank is $25, but I've only bought retail twice, all others at frag swaps.

Lol

 

Its in my tank. I have one with about 5 eyes and one with 2. Got both along with a Miami hurricane with 10+ eyes and a no namer for $50.

there are so many locals in the hobby with high end stuff that I can get just about anything after someone has grown it out in their tank.

 

 

Meowzer, you know my local forum, go shop!
