Selling Corals for Profit $$$

Huh? Okay, let me paint a scenario for you:

You go to a store, they have a colony of "Freaking Ultra Cornbread Kickstarter Eagle Rage Superman" Palys. Owner of the store doesn't know/doesn't care what it is as long as he gets his $75.00.

You buy said coral, realizing that its market value is $150/pp.

Do you:

A. Sell the Palys for the $5/pp that it works out to, tanking not only the value of the coral, but immediately devaluing the collections of anyone who purchased these Palys at market value?

B. Sell for market value and pat yourself on the back for being at the right place at the right time.

C. Do the manly thing and leave it at the store to let someone more pious to sort out.

I mean.. Look at it this way, Lottery winners pay a couple bucks for their tickets...

Ergo, though it is subjective, selling frags for more than what you paid for the coral can be warranted without being branded as a "rip off".

Very true

And referring to your last post there's no way I'm spending more then 40$ on a polyp of ZOA or paly but if there s a colony of nice ones for 75 I'm all over it

Hey, I can't afford a Ferrari. But other people can. It's by no means my right to call foul on that. I'm not entitled to a premium car anymore than people who aren't willing to spend the big bucks are entitled to big buck corals
