Hammer worth $130.00?

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

Nice colour.. I have a orange (aussi Torch), I wonder if I can someday command the 40$ per head that site offers theirs for!!

[reptile guy]

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.

My GF is looking into shipping a dog from there, ya, it's pretty darn expensive!

[karazy]

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

[Myka]

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!!

[reptile guy]

We've had them twice in two months and likely will have some more in another month or two and that's what we'd be selling them for unless price went up on them. There odd when you get them they don't look anything special (kind of drab) but color up really nice after they've been in your tank for a month or two.

Aussie stuff costs more for both the corals and the shipping. It's not always "greed" that drives the prices up. You have to remember your LFS is trying to run a buisness not a charity.

When you go to work in the morning do you expect to work for free or collect a check at the end of the month?

What it comes down to is if you like it buy it. Who cares what someone else thinks is nice or rare. It's your tank you have to look at it every day.

If it was me I would get it the price doesn't seem bad and they are a coral you don't see every day.
