![]() I was at the North Van store yesterday buying crickets.
![]() Dwight, Raf and I went by the denman store a few days ago and there isnt really anything left. A couple of sick corals and a few fish (the fish were overpriced anyways, so the sale price is about normal). We bought some salt though for pretty cheap. Hes shutting down all the tanks there so im assuming another pet store isnt going in. -Diana |

![]() Haha, no need to get angry. I shop regularily at King Eds and J&L (like i'm talking at least once per week), and sometimes Big Als. We occationally went down to Aquariums West and Pet Gallery just to look, but not really to buy. Pet Gallery there had some decent prices on corals i must say, but just like his North Van store the prices on fish and dry goods were more expensive. Thier coral beauty angel there was like 50 bucks! $23 at J&L. Its just certian things that were more.... I guess i am just used to shopping around a lot so i can compare prices. I know he marked a lot of stuff down for the sale, but im not talking about the sale OR the purple tang cus i know thats a good price on them (about $10 less than other places)

![]() Don't worry 'bout it Diana, some of the people on here are a tad sensitive. For the most part we have a great crew though.

![]() Im not cheap, i spend WAY too much on all my tanks. I've forked out over $500 bucks for my 5 gallon tank. Im saying there are cheaper places to buy things, and as the consumer i have the right to do so. And i will spread the word about the cheaper places. Im not going to spend $10 more of my hard earned cash when i could save it for something else. Why would I? Why would anyone? Unless the item is better quality when its more expensive, but thats often not the case.
So what if J&L buys in bulk so they can sell for less, they are gonna get more customers because of it. Its the battle of the industry, and unfortuneately you cant really make a profit either way to go. |
