Ridiculous. IMO frags from a private seller should be worth more than a stores in most cases. I have never understood how livestock depreciates so much in our aquariums.
Just let people sell and make deals among themselves. If these things are important to you then ask them of the seller. If they are important to the seller then he can implement them.

+1 There is no way to circumvent the supply demand aspect of the market, if you are making these as a guideline for people to follow I see this failing very fast (As Tony stated due to lack of enforcement). Besides, If I spend $250.00 on a chalice frag that has a single eye I'm not going to charge $30.00 for a frag just to be "Nice". If no one buys the frag I'm selling for $250.00 then the price will be lowered until someone will take it, this is basic supply and demand or as Green stated "Common sence".
It would be like posting on a luxury car forum that you think all cars sold from individual seller to individual seller should be 35-50% off market price. No one would ever even contemplate that so why would it work here? Supply and demand dictates price because that's what works, if you would like to try and change Capitalism while your at it be my guest
