Default Hammer worth $130.00?

Hello

Wondering if a orange hammer coral from Australia is worth $130.00 it is about 2" by 2" by 4" high.

I think that's priced a bit high, but they are so rare it's hard to say.

Here's one to compare to: http://areefcreation.com/store/index...roducts_id=155

It would be worth around $50 and at the most $60 for one.

i dunno... I mean it's nice, and I dare say cooler than the normal green (if we are to be subjective), but I still wouldn't fork over that much for it, personally.

wow!! that would be an awesome price for one of these considering most people who think these things should be cheap do not put in to consideration the expense of getting these type of things in.

Could you even imagine what the shipping ALONE would be from Australia? Crazy I am sure but hey what do I now maybe your right but I think personally anything that you see once a year or so....is worth having when no one else does...just my 2 cents though.

personaly i think there's 2 ways to look at his.
first, there's the hobby side. if you want this just too look at and be merry, not worth it.
then theres the buisness side. if you plan on selling every additional head of this, eventualy the thing could pay for itself and more

You pay more for stuff from Australia whether it's nicer or not. I think shipping or collection is more expensive...I can't remember. But Aus also has some of the nicest stuff!!
