Just an observation not a complaint!
Whats the deal? Seems like everybody and their mother's uncle is "a retailer" these days and selling corals. In "ron from OG's" words, these are troubled times in the aquarium business these days. Yet there is a new store or person selling stuff by the boat loads more than ever.
Its getting so that no one wants to buy my 5 dollar leather anymore. HAHA
Am I in the wrong business?

So it's not just me:)
Now it's just an expensive hobby where you can't sell ****!

We are flooded with the more common corals these days. Its the "uncommon stuff" that you can sell. However, only at half price, but do you really wanna sell the cool thing that not everyone has. Kamil and I have been tearing up that ebay board ! Thats the way to go for sure. Wait for that "retail" product hits ebay and just bid on the stuff thats cheaper

oopsy. Dont wanna do that, we want to pay as little as possible. Sorry. Who's bidding on the higher end acans that end soon? One of us or someone outta SD? Anyone here "j***C"

I'm willing to trade for frags, bring them over before flushing them. I'll just through another 60 on the holding system.:)

Had that Acan marked...had to go offsite and missed the ending on a bunch, good thing cause I had way overspent knowing I'd lose a few...lost them all!...but those guys have decent prices anyway, the ebay prices were getting close to over reg prices. Have to step away at times and let someone get a decent deal. Who picked up those Magnificas....hope they know how to keep them.

Picked up my 31 dollar acan today. Nice coral.
You gave me the "correct" blasto, also I owe you 2 dollars and change! I will pay you all next time I see you.
