I would be interested in a frag pack too.

digital-audiophile 10-19-2007 02:17 PM

Frag pack is a great idea. I need to bet my head around shipping though.. thats what hurts the pocket book. :(

wickedfrags 10-19-2007 02:42 PM

Frag packs generally get shipped for half the actual shipping cost, or free depending on the value of the frag pack. I do not advertise this, but we can discuss the details via email when you are ready.

We could all do a frag pack together, and I can delivery to Calgary if that helps anyone with the shipping.

I can definitely attest that the frags are more then worth the shipping costs!

digital-audiophile 10-19-2007 02:58 PM

Sent you an email Dave:)

Catherine that would be cool! If nothing else I wouldn't mind meeting you, from what I have seen on canreef you seem to be a really nice person.

michika 10-19-2007 03:01 PM

Thank you!

And you may very well get your wish!

what would a frag pack cost.
i know we need to order 10 frags
do you have a price for frags packs.
i want a pack but need to have a price.

wickedfrags 10-19-2007 09:23 PM

I have several options when it comes to frag packs, to incorporate customer requests. Some want a nice variety, others want a "rare collector" pack. I have one SPS that I sell for $200 an inch, others I sell for $20. As such, prices can on a frag pack can vary widely.

Best value is when I pick out 10 pieces, however I always try to incorporate customer requests as that is what it is all about! Fire me an email and we can chat further about the specifics - I am sure we can figure out something.

Can we see this $200 sps? It sounds quite amusing!

IceTurf 10-19-2007 09:42 PM

Wow, steep pricing! I know some corals are nice, but that seems a bit much for one coral, let alone an inch of that coral.

Some stuff is definitely worth it! I guess its all about personal preference.

Der_Iron_Chef 10-19-2007 09:59 PM

I've seen lots of people paying $500-600 for colonies of Australian Acan. Guess $200/inch of a rare SPS frag isn't outrageous in comparison.

IceTurf 10-19-2007 10:00 PM

"dwarfed"

wickedfrags 10-19-2007 10:41 PM

Ironically, it is the only SPS in my collection that I can not get a good picture of. Here is the description though, called "The Fuscia". Fuscia base, blue tips and white polyps. But that is not what makes it so special. The growth on this coral is truly unique, it is very very very fine branching, and the more it grows the finer it gets. There is only one colony (belonging to a Toronto hobbyist), and I also have a small colony aquired in a trade. From time to time this is available through a local a LFS for $225-$250 per frag. Now I really gotta get a picture of it!

You should see what it is like in the Toronto market. Almost getting as pricey as the US for some rare items, let alone an aussie acan. To the corals defence though, it is the most unique one I have ever seen, and is known to be hardy as it has been around for about 3 years I think.

Personal preference I agree, but at this price point it is really for collectors only (and ones with deep pockets as well)

The last acan I wanted to purchase...I was quoted $1500 at the LFS. I already had it bagged to...clearly it stayed at the store. Aussie acans here typically go from $350 to $800.

It seems my original post didn't stick around, so anyways, anyone who wants in on a Calgary/Edmonton WF.com order please go here.

IceTurf 10-20-2007 02:53 PM

Make appear small by comparison=dwarfed, I was refering to the fact that i'm used to seeing pricing between 5$-60$/coral or frag and you speak towards 200$/inch just "dwarfed" my pricing idea.

Yea definitally people with deep pockets/collectors item only

wickedfrags 10-20-2007 04:04 PM

I see - that makes sense. Expensive does not always mean really nice though, at least not to me. I have limits to!
