So they can command a higher price. Look at red planet. It's price was quit high, I believe $75 when it was first available. Now you can find it for around $40.

Very true with the chalices. As far as the Red Planet, you can find it privately for $40 but I'd be surprised to see it in a Canadian store for that. When you consider what's involved in bringing these types of corals into the country you have to expect to pay a premium price for premium pieces. Thats why they remain rare corals.
I'm not saying $100 is a fair price for an Oregon Tort privately, likely closer to half that.
Good luck with the search.
