You make some good points. Perhaps we should continue this over a beer . Apologies to the OP for dragging this OT. You have some nice looking Zoas that I would like to buy if I had a bit more money . (All in good humour),

No worries, drag it wherever you want! I think it's an interesting topic. The problem is that it's very difficult to come up with a price. There is barely anything to reference, and even then it may be half way across the country for a comparable piece.

I definitely waver between both of your viewpoints. Albert is right that it doesn't help anybody to drive down the price artificially. However, just because a zoo was once rare doesn't mean it will be so forever, and I think we would expect the price of space monsters (for example) to slowly come down as more people have them, more information is shared so people get better growth, etc.

Supply/demand. Easy, lol.

I sell Space Monsters for $50/pp and I have no issues getting rid of them. Given that the market will still bear that price and I can't even keep up with the number of people on my waiting list, I see no incentive to discount the coral.

Umm... sorry to interrupt,but could I have some space monsters?I don't care who the Daddy is.

I will politely duck out of this thread now since OP has corals to offer and I... have yet to fulfill my waiting list.

That's fantastic, and there must be some markets I'm not aware of, because I've still got some left!

I'm back from dead...

Anyways, just wanted to clear things up for jcharles.

These are Tyree Space Monsters, I acquired them in the states from the a respected member of another forum and the brother of Procorals.com owner. Anyone that had dealt with me before knows the quality of corals that I had and now jcharles has.

Btw, these may also be the same that Albert has.

Add me to this question, I have been researching CITES permits and am more confused than when I started, but the selection online in the US beats anything I have seen in Canada and usually at half the price. I would even look at a group buy on a full box of coral to get the selection I want and frags at actual cost.
