LF "rare" zoo's

[edikpok]

I will have to agree with moppy. Some of the prices are way overcharged - for example $7 for 1 polyp of zoanthid???? Yes, it is pretty but $7???

You see people here selling full colonies for cheaper than some of their frags...

If you want it buy it, if you don't then don't... Its that simple. I want to buy a new bmw m5, can I afford it? No. Am I gonna sit here and get mad cause its overpriced? I could but what's the point? Will I pay 7 per polyp? Yup if its what I want, if not, then no... Its that simple

My last order was expensive but my frags were amazing. They were ~30-$45 per frag which sounds expensive but I'll definately buy there again.

I don't really know about "moppy" but I am not getting mad...I am just giving my opinion....I just do not see why chargin so much for small frags.... Needless to say that some of the frags on their website look beautiful though!

I must admit, i've paid lots for some of the frags I've purchased, and I've had some of those frags die. But if you really want something you end up paying for it, I spent 225 for 1 frag plus shipping years ago and dont regret it at all, I still have the coral and its still my favourite. If I want a frag and I think there price is reasonable I'll pay it. If i think its too expensive then I wont buy it and cross my fingers something similiar pops up at the LFS.

Yup, it's also just my opinion and I don't buy those rip-off frags but I have to tell you, I know what people are paying for a lot (maybe not all) of their zoas and what they are reselling them for and it is far too much. Sure, if you want to pay that much, go for it, doesn't mean it isn't overpriced.

Looking at the responses to my opinion, it is fairly obvious why people are overpricing yet still selling a lot of their zoas. Hope it still OK to state my opinion (based on price facts that I KNOW!).

Its all marketing: fancy names, descriptions and back stories. I sell a lot of frags locally of this colony (it grows like a bad weed) which I call "Doug's Zoa's" because I got them from a local guy named Doug. I ask between $5 and $10 for 10-30 polyps. Or you can buy something that looks exactally the same to me from one of the online dealers called Sunshine Zoas for $5 per polyp. I've got a lot more examples if anyone wants to hear them...
