Hey Mike. Long time no chat. How’s that crazy dog of yours? I miss seeing your crazy tank builds. New house. Come in man. You used to be up there with Brett on all those new builds. Lol

It was for a magnificent anemone. I buy them regularly usually charged at $130. But got charged $200. And now I found out from someone this past weekend that he quoted them only $150. So because he knows I will buy them, it got marked up.

With JL the prices are posted and are typically consistent. Ah well.

LOL

And... I do have another build! Just haven't posted it on here yet. Decided not to sell the house in this market. So I got bored and set up a 100 gallon tank lol.

I can darn near look out my front window and see the ominous blue glow coming from Brett's house!

are you referring to listed price vs actual price? Or is the type of store that does not list any prices at all?



from what i have encountered, most stores seem to have a buddy price vs regular customer price. If not that, then select clients get to cherry pick pieces from incoming shipments.

There are no prices listed. So the owner just makes it up.
