yup thats about the going rate, basically per polyp as 1 or 2 you can get $10/polyp as the colonies get bigger you get less.

finding poeple to sell colonies is tough though.

i bet laurie if you were to frag that colonie into 4 pieces you could get $25 a piece , so $100 in total.


great price you had it for, i knew it would sell fast
cheers

Well I have to admit Denny (as much as it pains me to do so) you were right

I'll admit though I never thought it would sell in 10 minutes

hands down one of the nicest palys on the go , that color just pops under any lighting.

alot of people in alberta seem to have these now, i can bet you helped spread them i know youve had them for years, i got my first origional frag from you as well

i love seeing collector pieces grown and passed around

if i was closer i would have grabbed them my self as well lol great deal

People are crazy but that is really crazy. Per polyp you can sell them for $10 but you can only sell a colony of 50 for $60?? That is a HUGE difference.

Stupidity ....but your probably right.

It's very true though, reason being that people don't really think twice about spending $20-30 on a frag, but as soon as you get over $60 people start to balk. Anytime I have something fairly big to sell I will turn it into good-sized frags instead.

i hate pp pricing , i dont feel comfortable placing price on individual polyps.


i know its not the same for every province and city but small frags should be more common and cheaper around here

its my opinion but i also think those who buy single or pp frags of ultra rare stuff should lower their prices when they grow out, some of the prices on stuff is gone ridiculous....same with the names lol

^ Drives me nuts when reefers ask the same price as retail. Or if the person thinks because Bob's Zoa retails for $25 pp in the USA that his 20 polyp colony is worth $500.

We in Saskatoon get lots of great 5-20 polyp frags at Bayside Corals for $10-45 usually. 90% of my collection came from Bayside.
