I agree, now thinking about this myself. I sometimes need to mess around for hours, communicating, waiting,etc, to sell a $10 frag. Selling a pack would make it worth getting my arm wet :)

I'm talking retail. Not reefer to reefer.

Geez. Something is really lost in translation here. :lol:

I don't think so, the topic is just evolving :) I think it applies to retail also. Much easier to bag and ship a pack than single sales. If I were a retailer, I'd likely prefer to sell packs. More profit for labour involved.

Fair enough.

I don't mind buying several off a reefer as prices are better than retail and buying five frags is usually a deal.

But generally it's also what I want and not just a bunch packed up.

I LOVE frag packs !

If there's something in the pack I don't want I'll just sell it to someone who does want it. #ProTip

Agreed. I see packs for sale online and I own 4 of them already, I'm not paying for 5 to get 1. But many do. I'm just not that cutting edge on my "collect coral names" game :) So I just don't buy anything. Easy.

Ok. Now this is constructive.

I might consider that in the future if I can justify at least half of what's in the pack. And if the extra is not a dud.

Or even any profit for labor. By the time you've order, shipped, paid, displayed, advertised, maintained, and finally sold that $10 frag ends up costing the retailer $50.
