i think its all fine when your talking about a 10" favia at the lfs and someone wants to sell it in 15 pieces at $30 each just to make a quick buck , yes thats shady.
to be honest i dont even have a display tank , when mine crashed i found all my enjoyment in my grow/frag systems . i grow each and every polyp myself...one by one except for the first one(im not god) i dont even like fish and corals is where its at for me lol i actually found a new enjoyment in the hobby and it steps away from a traditional display tank. i like collector/designer zoanthids its the drive to find them , bring them in and selectively propagate them that i enjoy, simply put i love zoanthids. old ones fund new ones and the types of zoas i want and bring in are not found at any lfs locally or wild order from indo. problem is i cant buy them in colonie size and if i could it would cost $$$$$$ , most of the polyps i buy now adays have a price tag of $50-$400 per polyp and for alot of them im lucky if the seller will part with more than one lol so at $150 for one polyp you can better believe when it hits 4-6 polyps that sucker is getting fragged and im getting some money back before i lose the piece. im responsible for bringing in alot of the designer zoas that are even available in canada.....someones got to be that guy right lol so i take the risk, pay the price , play the patience game and sell a polyp , and then move on to my next fix lol and because everyone likes pictures :P fresh new arrivals that i had to beg to even be able to buy, came from the states so the money may not be local but a lfs somewhere got paid lol    please dont pm me asking for retailers in the states for zoanthids lol

I've noticed it lately too, where there seems to be a number of posts by a small amount of members selling many frags/corals - and the members appear to have small/new tanks, therefore I can only assume they are flipping corals
So I understand where the OP is coming from Just my $0.05 |

Ive had someone buy multiple frags off me just to resell .Because I was selling them at a reasonable price the reseller could jack up the price then resell at a big $profit. it ticked me off , I was trying to spread the wealth as it was and it was and it was a bunch of zoas I had grown from a few polyps to a huge colony and had to frag because I was moving . It robs other people from enjoying this hobby at a reasonable price and that's wrong .
