I'm tired of seeing "frag packs" at retailers

It seems a few comments are made to cause a controversy. If I misunderstand being referred to as troublesome or another sarcastic comment. Sorry.

I kind of like the frag packs, if I'm getting it at a price where I can chuck a couple away if I don't like them.

From a the point of view of someone who sells corals from time to time it makes sense as well. I lot of times I'll advertise a coral for sale, exchange a few PMs, then a half a dozen texts only to have the guy back out or just not show up. This is my just hobby, I work full time and sometimes it feels like it's not worth the trouble for $20, so I just throw away a lot of my cuttings (don't tell my wife). Thinking about going to frag packs in the future... always open to sell singles to a guy who's easy to work with.

I agree, now thinking about this myself. I sometimes need to mess around for hours, communicating, waiting,etc, to sell a $10 frag. Selling a pack would make it worth getting my arm wet

I'm talking retail. Not reefer to reefer.

Geez. Something is really lost in translation here.

I don't think so, the topic is just evolving I think it applies to retail also. Much easier to bag and ship a pack than single sales. If I were a retailer, I'd likely prefer to sell packs. More profit for labour involved.

Fair enough.

I don't mind buying several off a reefer as prices are better than retail and buying five frags is usually a deal.

But generally it's also what I want and not just a bunch packed up.

I LOVE frag packs !

If there's something in the pack I don't want I'll just sell it to someone who does want it. #ProTip

Agreed. I see packs for sale online and I own 4 of them already, I'm not paying for 5 to get 1. But many do. I'm just not that cutting edge on my "collect coral names" game So I just don't buy anything. Easy.
