It is nice that these hobbyists or retail stores ship (I purchased stuff from ReefRaft before), but I also would like to see the actual piece before forking 100 bones on it. For pieces like "signature corals", well that's different cos you pretty much know what you're going to get, but wild shipments is where you want to be able to see for yourself what you are actually getting.

OA does get some nice stuff in, but it's not near as frequent as the Ontario stores. I guess the market is just bigger there, and suppliers would rather ship to the "big fish" (no pun intended).

Ahh, well I guess it depends on the piece. I've seen some darned nice pieces there going for some really great prices.

I cant deny I have picked up nice pieces here or had some beauties shipped here on group orders(Thanks Jamie!), but it would be real nice to have the convenience of a location like RR around.

Yeah Its got to be nice to be able to go into your LFS and browse a selection like that.
J&L and OA are within day trip distance but with the $200 ferry ride it makes them so close yet so far away.

Fish are cool, corals are cooler, but dirtyreefer... That avatar is the coolest.
