heh, apparently someone was trying to sell a purple monster for $1K last week. I think Ebay yanked the auction tho.

Christy :)

Yowzers!

Funny, though, he says that he has many colonies but none listed on ebay. Still, perhaps that's not how he normally sells, his feedback is great on book selling :lol:

You gotta give the guy credit, he's honest about it with his comment of "If you have more money than brains"!!!

:eek: Holy crap. If that's for real then there's something seriously out to lunch happening here ....

Stretch 04-02-2004 01:03 AM

I sence a new fad.... :rolleyes:

Quinn 04-02-2004 02:22 AM

Absurd.

Tony, some people on RC were pretty impressed by that purple acro we have. We should call it the Slotboom Purple/Yellow Monster and sell frags for $100 each.

Do you mean theat huge colonly tony has? if so i have a huge frag i got from him for 20 bucks :lol:

Quinn 04-02-2004 02:53 AM

Yeah, that purple one I keep posting. I think Tony, Jon, Russell, you and I all have pieces now, and likely others. I forget where Tony said he got it. It's actually the same species as the Purple Monster. :rolleyes: I had some guy on RC chat tell me he'd pay $100USD for a piece so I figure we should stick Tony's name on it and start selling it for exorbitant prices.

Stretch 04-02-2004 02:56 AM

Neat.

Weird someone from the states wants what we have, usually its the other way around.

By frag I mean like a small colony :razz:

Quinn 04-02-2004 03:05 AM

Well it's a nice coral once it colours up. Here's the thread of the photos of mine.

Delphinus 04-02-2004 03:24 AM

Wow ... :eek:

I always wondered if it was the same species, I always thought they looked alike. I got it originally from Dave at Dark Side (one of those basement shops that has long since vanished).

Quinn 04-02-2004 03:40 AM

My understanding is that the PM is special because it has much thicker branches than your average A. valida, and of course, it's pure purple. As per the previous thread on the topic, we all know it's tough to be certain that what we have is also A. valida, but I think it's a good guess.

AJ_77 04-02-2004 03:40 AM

"wow" - funny... :smile:

literate group over there - do they throw money around too? you guys could be rich quick!

I like the post from the guy on RC who is coming to Canada and want's to drop by.
lol

Very cool coral found a home for it yet, I'll give you visiting rights.

man for $1000 you would think the seller have the decency to at least pay for shipping

Lofus 04-02-2004 05:57 PM

Careful about the guy coming to Canada that wants to stop by....He might be going to Montreal

Stretch 04-09-2004 04:27 AM

LOL someone bought it....

I don't know but this price seems better, probably not the same coral but pretty close.
